The Hässelby-Vällingby District Council will address two citizen proposals requesting a new dog park in Smedshagen, Hässelby. The administration suggests the council include this request in ongoing efforts to supplement and more evenly distribute dog parks throughout the district, though a specific proposed location near Rödklövern preschool is deemed unsuitable due to its proximity to homes/the preschool and its secluded nature.
The Hässelby-Vällingby District Council proposes to distribute a total of SEK 311,500 in association grants for environmental and climate work in 2026. Five associations will receive funding: Cykelfrämjandet, Hässelby Scoutkår, Riddersviks 4H, Svensk Eritreanska Förening i Västerort, and Unga Örnar. The funds are intended for initiatives such as promoting cycling, installing an air-source heat pump, developing circular economy activities, increasing recycling knowledge, and organizing environmental and climate camps for children and youth.
The Hässelby-Vällingby Pensioners' Council had no comments on the matters to be discussed at the district council meeting on April 23, 2026. This means the council did not express any opinions regarding the decisions affecting pensioners in the area.

The Stockholm City Council will decide on a detailed plan for Vitsenapen 1 and others in Smedshagen, Hässelby villastad. This plan aims to build about 500 new homes – including rental apartments, tenant-owner apartments, and townhouses – along with new parking and services, primarily on existing parking lots to preserve green spaces. The revised plan clarifies cloudburst measures and the environmental assessment, but these changes do not fundamentally alter the proposal.
Stockholm City Council is set to decide on a development in Smedshagen, Hässelby Villastad, allowing for around 500 new homes, service premises, and new parking. While mostly on private land owned by Wallfast AB subsidiaries, the project also involves the city selling some land and recouping 93% of its public space costs. Critics, including the Sweden Democrats and Christian Democrats, express concern over the densification of natural areas, increased segregation, traffic issues, and the impact on green spaces and existing allotments.
The Moderate Party submitted a letter to the Preschool Committee regarding children who do not return to preschool after the summer break.

While no specific action plan exists, they are collaborating with the Social Welfare Committee to develop joint routines against harmful stays abroad.
The minutes from the Bromma and Hässelby-Vällingby district committees' council for disability issues outline their work supporting individuals with disabilities, including new LSS activities in Bromma like a "Living School" to try out group home living.

This includes 23 unfulfilled decisions in disability and social psychiatry (e.g., housing and day activities) and 9 in elderly care (e.g., special housing and day programs). Reasons for the delays include clients declining services, requesting specific providers, or a lack of available placements.
The Hässelby-Vällingby District Council has responded to the City of Stockholm's proposed action plan for gender equality until 2030, which aims to provide equal opportunities for women, men, girls, and boys. While the council supports the plan, they request clearer prioritization of target groups and improved follow-up to ensure interventions have a greater impact on daily work.
The City of Stockholm will replace nine outdated, hard-to-interpret maps of local ordinances with a new digital map for improved clarity and accessibility for residents, city operations, and police. Additionally, the rule for picking up dog waste will now apply city-wide, extending beyond the inner city, following a request from the Skarpnäck District Council. While the Hässelby-Vällingby District Administration supports these changes, they request adjustments to the designated dog walking areas and alcohol-free zones on the map.
