Agenda items
The Hässelby-Vällingby District Council approved the administration’s response to the city’s consultation on guidelines for public saunas.

The Council forwarded the proposal to the Sports Administration, which is responsible for deeper swimming pools and would respond to it.
The committee approved the administration’s response to a citizen proposal for bicycle service stations with a water hose or compressed air to wash and dry bicycles. As the Traffic Administration is responsible for the city’s bicycle pumps, the proposal was referred to them for a response.
The committee approved the administration’s response to the citizen proposal to build a pump track for cycling in Oxtungan Park in Hässelby. The proposal will be considered in future work to improve outdoor spaces in the district.
The committee approved the administration’s response to the citizen proposal to stop the soil remediation at the allotments below Riddersvik Manor and move the allotment holders to Kyrkhamn.

The Hässelby-Vällingby District Council approved planning for a group home for people with disabilities at Fondbersån 2, in a building previously used as a preschool.

The department director reported on activities at preschools, including outdoor reading and Junibacken’s work to help children stop using diapers. In the autumn, the district would also hold community dialogues in Ripvidet and Grimsta, increase social services’ presence in Hässelby gård, and have outreach workers collaborate with the police in Vällingby centre.
A motion proposes that Carl Bonde’s Forest in Hässelby be exempted from development and protected as a municipal nature reserve. The City Executive Board proposes that the motion be considered answered, as the city believes that the ongoing planning along Lövstavägen can provide housing in areas with lower nature values while preserving the forest’s most important ecological connections; a nature conservation strategy and a new comprehensive plan will guide future protection.

The Hässelby-Vällingby City District Board approved the administration's opinion on a proposed city-wide job description for cultural coordinators.
