The Hässelby-Vällingby District Council approved the administration's statement regarding a citizen proposal for a garden school and preparedness garden in Ridderviksparken. The council decided to forward the proposal to the Traffic Administration for further processing and response, as they are responsible for coordinating urban gardening in Stockholm.
The Hässelby-Vällingby District Council addressed a citizen proposal to convert a gravel area between Ardennergatan, Sleipnergatan, and Loviselundsvägen in Hässelby gård into a dog park.

The Hässelby-Vällingby District Council has approved the administration's response to a citizen proposal to build a dog park at Johannelundstoppen.

The Hässelby-Vällingby District Council approved the administration's response to a citizen proposal regarding collaboration between home care services and companies like Veteranpoolen. While the proposal suggested additional services such as snow removal and gardening, the administration stated these fall outside home care's mandate and are already available through RUT deductions, but highlighted existing district initiatives to combat social isolation among seniors.
The Hässelby-Vällingby City District Board approved the July 2026 monthly report. The administration anticipates a balanced budget and has received 3.4 million SEK from the City Executive Board to cover expenses, including those for financial assistance, summer camp operations, and summer holiday activities.
The District Administration Manager reported an increase in public trust for the district, rising from 27% to 36%. Additionally, the manager detailed summer holiday activities for children and youth, including sports and graffiti, along with an initiative to improve safety in the Åkermyntan underpasses through art created by young people.
At the meeting, Lisa Carlsson (S), chair of the Hässelby-Vällingby City District Council, and City District Director Gunilla Ekstrand presented their assignments. The Pensioners' Council raised questions about difficulties contacting "Äldre direkt" (Elderly Direct), regional collaboration, the possibility of urgently calling the "Trygghetsjouren" (Security Patrol), and housing pilots to assist seniors in homes without elevators. Additionally, feedback was given regarding bus routes 115 and the routing of 108 in Hässelby villastad.
The Hässelby-Vällingby district council rejected a citizen proposal to convert a gravel field into a dog park. However, the council noted a suggestion from the senior citizens' council that the gravel field could potentially be used for both casual sports and dog exercise, with priority given to sports. It was decided that in such a scenario, it would be especially important for dog owners to clean up after their dogs.
The District Administration reported increased staff continuity and no serious incidents like Lex Sarah or Lex Maria over the summer, although there were delays with alarm responses and key management in home care. Koppargården remained open with excursions and will offer early voting on September 1st, while there were also a couple of staffing changes, including the unit manager for security and civil cooperation leaving their position.
A motion by Anders Edin (SD) proposes to protect Carl Bonde's forest in Hässelby from development and designate it as a municipal nature reserve, addressing local concerns about the recreational forest being built upon. However, the City Executive Board suggests that the motion be answered by referring to ongoing work on a strategy for nature protection and a new comprehensive plan, believing that a balanced approach to conservation and development is achievable in the area.

The Hässelby-Vällingby City District Board approved the administration's report as its opinion on the local plan for part of the Hässelby villastad 28:1 property near Backlöksvägen/Asplövsgränd, despite objections.

The council decided to note the information and take no further action.
The Hässelby-Vällingby District Council approved an official statement in response to a letter from the Moderate Party concerning the maintenance of Karl Bondes skog. The Moderates had noted that the forest, a valued natural area in Hässelby, was perceived as neglected. The Council agreed on the forest's importance and decided that certain areas, particularly around footpaths and entrances, could be further thinned for better visibility, while other parts would be managed less intrusively to preserve their natural values.
The Hässelby-Vällingby City District Board considered a letter from the Centre Party regarding the potential affiliation of the Hässelby-Vällingby recreational library with the national association Fritidsbanken, which lends out sports and outdoor equipment.
