Agenda items
The committee is to receive the minutes from the joint disability council’s September meeting. The council discussed accessibility in the administrations’ premises, support for people with disabilities, and concerns that the joint organisation makes it difficult to represent both districts.
A resident proposes banning fishing at Maltesholmsbadet during the swimming season, as beachgoers—especially families with children—have to share the piers with anglers and their sharp hooks. The administration proposes that the committee approve the response and state that the issue will be raised in a citywide coordination forum; any potential ban should be considered for all swimming areas in the city.
A resident proposes a nature-friendly discovery trail for children and families in Hässelby-Vällingby, with obstacles made from local timber and features that teach visitors about nature. The administration proposes that the proposal be approved as the response and considered in future outdoor-space development; a similar nature trail with wooden sculptures is planned for Melonparken and is expected to be completed in 2027.
A resident is calling for a proper walking and cycling route between Lövstavägen and Åkermyntan, as well as better snow-clearing plans, saying traffic conditions on Lövkojsgränd cause daily incidents. Hässelby-Vällingby District Administration recommends that the committee approve the response and says it will continue to monitor traffic issues in planning for Kärrliljan 1; the issues have also been raised with the City Planning Office and the Traffic Office.
A citizen proposal calls for a footbridge over Lövstavägen between Johannelund metro station and Hässelby Castle, to make the walk shorter and easier to find. Hässelby-Vällingby District Administration proposes that the committee approve the response and refer the proposal to the City Traffic Office, which is responsible for pedestrian routes and signage on public streets.
The Hässelby-Vällingby District Administration proposes that the district council approve its response to the consultation on the City of Stockholm’s program to improve swimming skills and send it to the City Executive Board. The program aims to strengthen swimming skills and water safety, particularly through early measures and locally tailored support for children, people with disabilities, and groups with lower swimming proficiency. The administration stresses that responsibilities and resources need to be clear and that the work should be systematically monitored.
The Hässelby-Vällingby District Administration proposes that the committee adopt a revised delegation scheme, setting out which officials and politicians may make decisions in different matters. The changes are mainly due to a new law on receiving asylum seekers, which is due to take effect on 1 October 2026 and replace the current law.
The Hässelby-Vällingby District Administration proposes that the district council approve the September 2026 monthly report. The administration forecasts a surplus of SEK 23 million before carryovers, including surpluses in support for newly arrived residents and elderly care, while the urban environment and home care services are expected to run deficits.
The Social Services Administration proposes converting a former preschool facility at Fondbersån 2 on Friherregatan in Hässelby into a group home under the Act concerning Support and Service for Persons with Certain Functional Impairments (LSS). The facility will have six apartments, shared areas, and staff on site around the clock, with move-in planned for 2028; design work is estimated to cost approximately SEK 800,000 and the preliminary annual rent approximately SEK 2.4 million.
Stockholm Avfall AB proposes that the project for a new recycling centre in Lövsta be cancelled, as Stockholm Exergi has not received an environmental permit for the combined heat and power plant that would have required the current recycling centre to be relocated. The SEK 8.6 million already spent on planning and investigations is proposed to be recorded as an expense, while the existing recycling centre will receive only minor maintenance and improvements for the time being.
The Hässelby-Vällingby district committee approved the administration’s response to the Centre Party’s proposal on allotment gardens and urban farming. The administration agreed that urban farming is beneficial, but noted that allocating new land for allotment gardens must be weighed against other needs and would likely be considered as part of the comprehensive planning process; other efforts to promote urban farming are under way, including work with the Traffic Administration.
The committee noted the minutes of the Hässelby-Vällingby Pensioners’ Council meeting held on 14 September 2026. It decided in line with the administration’s proposal; no other decisions or voting results were reported.
The Hässelby-Vällingby District Council received a report on three decisions made by officials under delegated authority between 20 July and 7 September 2026: two terminations of unused placements and one Lex Sarah investigation. The Council approved the administration’s proposal; the minutes recorded no objections or voting results.
The Hässelby-Vällingby District Council noted the administration’s quarterly report on decisions concerning disability services, social psychiatry and elderly care that had not yet been implemented, and filed it. The administration had reported the information to the Health and Social Care Inspectorate (IVO); the council approved the administration’s proposal.
The Hässelby-Vällingby District Council approved the administration’s statement on the detailed development plan for Kärrliljan 1 in Hässelby villastad. Members from the Moderates, Liberals and Centre Party called for lower buildings, better traffic and parking solutions, more greenery, and at least 300 square metres of ground-floor premises; their separate statement did not change the decision.
The Hässelby-Vällingby District Council approved the administration’s consultation response on how preschools can become more equitable and support children’s language development, and sent it to the City Executive Board. The Moderates entered a formal reservation, calling, among other things, for national requirements for staff’s Swedish-language skills and for testing new methods to strengthen language development.
The Hässelby-Vällingby District Council approved the administration’s response to the consultation on the City of Stockholm’s tree policy. The administration welcomed shared goals for preserving and caring for trees, but noted that tree care requires resources; the Moderate Party and Centre Party entered reservations, calling for clearer responsibility, funding and follow-up, among other things.
The Hässelby-Vällingby District Council approved the administration’s response to the consultation on Stockholm’s climate adaptation plan. The administration supported coordination on cloudbursts and heatwaves and called for a joint steering group to address conflicts of interest, such as between areas set aside to manage cloudbursts and utility lines.
The Hässelby-Vällingby District Council approved the administration’s response to the consultation on funding for day activities in elder care. The council supported adjusting funding in line with cost increases and raising the grant for premises, measures intended to strengthen services and make it easier to meet older people’s needs.
