The Board of Stockholm Vatten och Avfall AB is recommended to approve a status report for major investment projects exceeding 200 million SEK during the first four months of 2026. The report details the status of 42 projects, noting the cancellation of climate action plans in Bromsten (balancing reservoirs and ponds) and the new recycling center (ÅVC) in Lövsta due to Stockholm Exergi's inability to secure permits for a combined heat and power plant in the area. It also highlights budget deviations in several projects, attributed to factors such as price increases and unexpected geological conditions.

Agenda items
The Board of Stockholm Avfall AB is recommended to approve the company's financial report for the first four months of the year and the forecast for all of 2026. This report details the company's work in waste management, water supply, and sewage treatment plants, including major investment projects like Lovö Södra and Tensta water tower, alongside efforts to improve the work environment and combat work-related crime.
On May 7, 2026, the Järva District Council's Business Advisory Board discussed urban development, safety, and business in Järva, with a new business developer set to start in August to boost the business climate in Järva, Hässelby-Vällingby, and Bromma. The council reviewed ongoing initiatives across several areas, including safety measures at Kista Torg, renovations in Husby and Akalla centers, and lighting improvements. Business associations raised concerns about insecurity, parking, and the need for better dialogue, which the administration committed to addressing.
The Järva City District Administration will process the minutes from the Pensioners' Council meeting on May 25, 2026. The council has commented on a referral response concerning the program for urban farming and reported perceived traffic disturbances near Akalla village during a festival in July.
A citizen proposal suggests planting new trees at the intersection of Sörgårdsvägen and Vinstavägen, aligning with the city's tree policy of planting two new trees for every one felled. The administration proposes to prepare this proposal, which includes reviewing how the city's overall tree objectives are being met and identifying influencing factors.
A citizen proposes the construction of an outdoor gym in Bromsten. This proposal, submitted almost a year ago, was referred to the Bromstensgluggen project group and the Sports Department, but no action has been taken. The citizen now requests that the matter be re-examined and an outdoor gym built at a suitable location in Bromsten.
The Järva City District Board will review a report on area dialogues held in six Järva districts during 2023-2024. These dialogues gathered residents' opinions, suggestions, and ideas on urban development, particularly concerning squares, parks, meeting places, and safety. The document "Järva's Development from the Residents' Perspective" illustrates how these wishes have influenced and will continue to influence the city's development work until 2026.
The Järva City District Administration will process the report "Preschool in Stockholm 2025," which identifies development areas for the city's preschools. The administration agrees with the report's focus on strengthening systematic quality work, children's language development, and staff linguistic competence. They also emphasize the importance of the preschool's compensatory mission through efforts in attendance, socioeconomic resource allocation, and collaboration with social services to increase equity in Järva's preschools. The administration proposes that the City District Board approve the service statement and send it as a referral response to the City Executive Board.
This matter concerns a proposal for a serving permit for Restaurant Mozzarella, located at Stormbyvägen 3-5. This item was published late on the agenda and will be addressed during the meeting.
A citizen proposal suggested creating a nature and culture trail with information signs along existing paths around Spånga Church in eastern Tensta, highlighting historical buildings and environments like the church and Spånga village. The administration proposes rejecting this, stating the area already offers ample historical information via existing signs and digital guides, though they will notify relevant parties about worn-out signs.
Patrick Amofah and Kim Ekblom (C) propose developing the Järva business council to improve the local business climate, advocating for better representation, stronger dialogue, reduced red tape and crime, and encouraging entrepreneurship among young people and foreign-born women. The Järva district administration agrees on the importance of these issues and suggests hiring a new business developer to engage proactively with local businesses, address crime through police collaboration, and ensure equitable participation for all entrepreneurs.
The Järva District Council is set to review a letter from Åsa Nilsson Söderström (L) concerning safety within home care services. She seeks information on how the administration prevents abuse, threats, and fraud against home care recipients, and what measures are taken if such incidents occur. While the administration believes safety is generally good, they acknowledge a potential underreporting and propose that the council approve their official statement as a response.
The Swedish Association of the Visually Impaired (SRF) Stockholm raised concerns that people with visual and other disabilities risk being deprioritized in crisis preparedness efforts. The District Administration responded that they are analyzing accessibility at safety points and developing routines for adapted crisis information, also seeking a deeper dialogue with disability organizations to better integrate their needs.
The Järva City District Council will consider updating its delegation rules to streamline administration and clarify decision-making authority. This includes new rules for activity requirements in individual and family care, effective July 1st. The administration proposes that the council approve these changes.
Järva District Administration has reviewed Novelia Omsorg's operations for individuals in social psychiatry: Elinsborgsbacken group homes, Elinsborgsbacken supported housing, and Träffpunkten. The administration found the services to generally be of good quality and compliant with the agreement, recommending the district board approve the report. Identified areas for improvement include fire-safe document storage, implementing the city's accessibility and participation program, and establishing end-of-life care routines, with these deficiencies to be rectified by June 30, 2026.
The Järva District Council is to review the 2025 follow-up for an Ideation-Driven Public Partnership (IOP) with the Järva Parents' Association. Through this partnership, the association has organized activities for children and youth during school breaks, offered summer jobs, and reached 200 guardians with information and meetings, in addition to night patrolling in Tensta/Hjulsta to enhance safety. While the administration proposes approving the report, it raises concerns that 41% of the granted funds (SEK 500,000) were used for visits to venues like Leos Lekland, Jump Yard, and Gröna Lund.
The Järva City District Council will review a follow-up on a public-private partnership (IOP) with Folkets Husby aimed at establishing an association-run community hub at Kvarnbacka BP. Due to rental agreement delays and a water leak, the venue could not open in 2025 as planned. The administration proposes the council approve the follow-up and allocate 107,315 SEK from the 2025 budget to 2026 for furnishing and equipping the facility, which seeks to promote public health and offer leisure activities for children, youth, and families in Järva.
The Järva District Council will review a follow-up report on a partnership with Folkets Husby for January-June 2025. This collaboration aimed to help young people in Järva (aged 19-29) who are neither working nor studying (NEET) to enter employment or further education, offering drop-in services, fairs, and study spaces. The project successfully met its objectives, with 27 young people registering with Jobbtorg and 10 progressing to work or study.
The Järva City District Administration proposes closing the English-profile department at Barnkullen preschool in Akalla by autumn 2026 due to decreased demand. Most children with English as a mother tongue now transition to Swedish-speaking schools, and the administration believes children's language development, including mother-tongue support, can be ensured within standard preschool operations.
This item concerns how associations that have received municipal grants for 2025 shall report back on how the money has been used. This is important to ensure that funds are utilized correctly and contribute to the well-being of residents.
