Agenda items
A citizen proposal to build an outdoor ramp in Palmérsparken will be considered. The Järva District Administration proposes being tasked with investigating the proposal, taking into account children’s rights, accessibility and gender equality.
The Järva District Administration comments on proposals to make preschool more equitable and strengthen children’s language development. It supports, among other things, rules on group sizes and staffing levels, but opposes special language programmes for some children and mandatory language assessments in their current form; instead, it wants to strengthen language learning in regular teaching and ensure adequate resources.
Italian Food Tre AB has applied for a permanent licence for restaurant Degverket at Spångavägen 314 to serve alcohol indoors and on the outdoor terrace every day from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. Järva District Administration recommends approving the application, as it does not expect the licence to cause any direct problems in the area, provided that regulations and age limits are followed and the owners and staff are trained in responsible alcohol service.
A new action plan with 25 measures will be considered to help Stockholm cope with heatwaves, heavy rainfall and other effects of climate change. The Järva district administration is broadly supportive, but proposes making responsibilities, funding, timelines and coordination with the city’s emergency preparedness work clearer.
Stockholm’s preschools are proposed to adopt shared guidelines for identifying, assessing and following up children’s needs for special support more consistently. Assessments should be based on each child’s individual needs, not require a diagnosis, and clarify when preschools can apply for additional funding; the Järva District Administration is supportive and proposes that the committee submit its consultation response to the City Executive Board.
The City of Stockholm proposes a programme to help more children and adults learn to swim and feel safe in the water, with the aim of ensuring that all pupils meet the school’s swimming requirements and reducing accidental drownings. The Järva District Administration supports the proposal but wants the City to clarify how new tasks in preschools will be funded and allow for more supervision of young people in holiday jobs; it also notes that pools at Tensta Swimming Centre, Husbybadet and Järvabadet are often full.
A citizen proposal calls for new trees at the Sörgårdsvägen–Vinstavägen intersection and a report on how the city is meeting its tree targets. The administration proposes that the matter be considered answered: the site can be assessed for future tree planting, but the removed bushes were not covered by the tree target, and bushes are not considered suitable for replanting. The administration reports that 44 trees were felled and 107 planted in Järva from 2023 to 2025; figures for 2022 are unavailable.
A citizen proposal calls on the city to increase awareness of climate and sustainability, better prepare residents for heatwaves and floods, and invest in climate adaptation and green summer jobs. The Järva District Administration proposes that the proposal be considered answered, as much of this is already part of the city’s ongoing work, including shade-providing greenery, information on emergency preparedness, and holiday jobs focused on sustainability.
The Järva District Administration proposes approving the citizen’s proposal for an outdoor gym in Bromsten. Two possible locations will be investigated further: Stridsbergaparken (Branddammsparken) and a green space along Duvbovägen, with the aim of building the gym within two years.
Ole-Jörgen Persson (M) asks why Järva’s seven flagpoles are, under an internal procedure, used only on 6 June and during Pride Week, and proposes flying flags on all official flag days. The administration is reviewing the procedure and will investigate which days flags can be flown, taking costs and resources into account; a proposal is expected to be submitted to the district committee for a decision at a later date.
Patrick Amofah and Kim Ekblom (Centre Party) ask whether more allotment gardens and urban farming could be established in Järva, where interest is said to be high. The Administration sees scope for more urban farming in suitable locations if associations are willing to take responsibility, but recommends first securing long-term conditions for the existing 13 allotment and recreational garden areas; allotments cannot be established on parkland.
The Järva District Council will review reports on grants awarded to five associations for activities in the area. The administration proposes approving the reports from Rinkeby Run, Geesgud, Äldrekontakt and Husby FF, but not If Abai’s report, and seeking repayment of SEK 15,000 because the grant was not accounted for in an acceptable manner.
The Järva District Administration proposes that the committee approve the October 2026 monthly report. The administration forecasts that the operating budget will break even after transfers, while preschools are expected to run a deficit of SEK 5 million and financial assistance to show a surplus of SEK 5 million; investments are expected to stay within budget.
Jan Jönsson (L) proposes an annual, coordinated assessment of students’ reading skills, using tools such as Lexplore, to identify support needs early and track progress more consistently. The Education Administration agrees that regular follow-up is important, but proposes that the committee approve the response to first await and analyse an ongoing project in Järva’s municipal schools, which uses LegiLexi.
The Board of Stockholm Vatten AB will consider a report on procurements worth more than SEK 10 million that the CEO has decided to carry out between January and June 2026. The list includes snow removal, waste collection, the Tensta water reservoir and security installations; the Board is proposed to approve the report.
AB Familjebostäder proposes that the board approve the final report on renovations to 157 homes and six commercial premises at Krällingegränd 21–53 in Tensta. The façades, roofs, windows and balconies were repaired to improve the buildings’ condition and reduce energy consumption. The final cost was SEK 80 million, including VAT—SEK 30 million under budget.
A proposed detailed development plan would allow parts of the Isafjord 4 office property on Kistagången in Kista to be redeveloped for around 400 homes, offices, a hotel, adult education, healthcare, and service and retail premises. The buildings’ heritage qualities would be protected, while the ground floors would be opened up for public activities and the courtyards developed with green and social spaces. The proposal is open for consultation until 16 November 2026, and residents and others affected can submit comments.
Stockholm Parking AB’s minutes cover the company’s finances, governance and cybersecurity requirements, as well as a proposed parking garage in Tensta centre. The board approved the project, with an investment of approximately SEK 25 million, and authorised the CEO to sign the necessary agreements.
The City Council will consider a revised proposal to build around 130 new homes and commercial premises at Hyppingeplan and Risingeplan in Tensta. The city is proposed to invest about SEK 95.3 million in the project, which will also make the streets more pedestrian-friendly and the area safer; construction is planned to start in 2028.
