Moderaterna members reserved their positions, advocating for the motion's approval instead.

The Liberal and Centre Parties dissented, arguing the program lacked measurable goals and clear responsibility allocation.

The Moderate Party, Liberals, and Centre Party all reserved against the decision, advocating for either outright rejection or a revised proposal with fewer houses to preserve more of the natural land.

The Board of Stockholm Parkering is proposed to approve the acquisition of a parking garage in Tensta Centrum for 8 million SEK, with an additional 17 million SEK allocated for renovations and safety measures, including EV charging, totaling an investment of approximately 25 million SEK. As part of the purchase, Stockholm Parkering must guarantee at least 150 visitor parking spaces until 2049, which requires a 20-year extension of the current ground lease agreement.

The City Council decided to approve the implementation of a project to construct a temporary sports hall on Dalhagen's ball field in Husby.

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.

It also highlights budget deviations in several projects, attributed to factors such as price increases and unexpected geological conditions.
