Agenda items
The Social Services Administration proposes that the City commission an investigation into a new group home under the Act concerning Support and Service for Persons with Certain Functional Impairments (LSS) at Hjälmfast 86 in Järva. The residence would have six apartments, shared areas and staff facilities, with possible occupancy in 2033; the investigation and detailed development plan are estimated to cost approximately SEK 3 million excluding VAT.
The matter concerns a proposed temporary sports hall at Dalhagen football field in Akalla, primarily for club and school sports. The hall is planned to include a full-size playing court, changing rooms, and accessible facilities, and could be used for up to 15 years, including to replace activities when Husby Sports Hall is demolished ahead of the new Husby swimming centre.
The Pensioners’ Council reviewed the 2025 annual report on elderly care and received information about Järva’s six meeting places for older people, which offer cultural events and activities. The administration also reported on efforts to involve the councils earlier and more clearly in committee decisions; the councils noted improvements but said that feedback and influence needed to be strengthened. The district council filed the minutes and appendices.
The Järva District Council noted the minutes of the Disability Council’s meeting on 18 September 2026. The council was informed about how the administration considers people with disabilities in official decisions and works with Region Stockholm; members made suggestions and expressed a wish to remain involved in the work.
The Järva District Council approved reporting to the Health and Social Care Inspectorate on 40 decisions to provide support under the Social Services Act and the Act concerning Support and Service for Persons with Certain Functional Impairments that had not been implemented within three months during the second quarter of 2026. Of these, 19 remained to be implemented; the rest had been implemented or closed during the quarter.
Järva District Council noted the matter after reviewing the administration’s consultation response on how funds for financial assistance should be allocated. The administration supported updating land values to 2022 levels and reducing the number of attractiveness groups from eight to six, but also called for other factors, such as employment, income and education, to be reviewed.
The Järva District Council approved the administration’s response and sent it to the Social Services Department. The council had no objections to SP Invest’s application for an alcohol licence for Restaurang Vanak, provided that staff are trained in responsible alcohol service and that rules on public order and age limits are followed; the minutes did not state a final decision on the licence itself.
The Järva District Council approved the administration’s response and sent it to the City Executive Board. The administration had no objections to the proposal to use part of the parking area at Ulvsunda Sports Centre for pétanque courts during major competitions, but felt that the Sports Administration and Bromma District Administration should assess the need further.
The Järva District Council approved the administration’s statement and sent it to the City Executive Board in response to the consultation; the decision was adjusted immediately. The statement supported a shared description of the cultural coordinator’s role, but called for clearer support to reach groups that currently have less access to culture, including through cooperation between districts, analysis and communications support.
The Järva District Council approved the administration’s response to a written submission about concern reports involving children aged 0–5. Reports from preschools rose from 40 in 2024 to 69 in 2025, while those from child health centres increased from 33 to 46; the administration described training, cooperation and a pilot project in Tensta in autumn 2026 to identify children who need support earlier.
The Järva District Council approved the administration’s response to the Centre Party’s submission about the risk of employees being deported and the recruitment pool shrinking. The administration said its long-term workforce planning and recruitment procedures help it retain and recruit staff, but that it follows current immigration rules and cannot influence individual decisions by government authorities.
The Järva District Council approved the administration’s response to a proposal to install deposit-bottle tubes on litter bins. There are already just over 100 tubes in the area, and the administration planned to gradually install more where the bins are suitable; the council decided in line with the administration’s proposal.
The Järva District Council approved the review of its partnership with Studiefrämjandet Mälardalen and decided that the association must repay SEK 133,576 that had not been used in 2025. The activities included parental support and assistance to local associations, and were considered to have helped achieve the partnership’s goals. Nassir Abdullahi Ali (S) declared a conflict of interest and left the room; the council decided in line with the administration’s proposal.
The Järva District Council approved the 2025 review of its partnership with Tensta Träff and filed the report. The partnership met its goals despite renovation work, and the premises were used for youth activities, education and culture. The council adopted the administration’s proposal.
The Järva District Council approved the 2025 follow-up report and filed it. The Women’s Centre in Tensta Hjulsta had offered local women a place to meet, with activities and support to counter loneliness and social isolation; the council adopted the administration’s proposal.
The Järva District Council approved the 2025 follow-up report on its partnership with Rinkeby Folkets Hus and filed the report. The programme supported women in moving closer to employment or studies, and offered children and young people homework help and study support; two council members declared a conflict of interest and left the room.
The Järva District Council approved the 2025 follow-up report on its partnership with Verdandi Tensta and noted it. The service averaged 300 visits a week, but the council noted that the partnership needed to be more structured to fully meet its goals.
The Järva District Council approved revised guidelines for association grants, replacing the 2023 rules, and decided that grants for fees or salaries would continue to be treated restrictively. The approved guidelines included a proposal to remove the requirement that an association be based in Järva and to move the reporting deadline to 31 March; the Moderates and Liberals reserved their positions, while the Sweden Democrats submitted a separate statement.
Järva District Council approved the 2026 interim report and forwarded it to the City Executive Board and the city’s auditors. The council also approved the basis for the preschool report, decided to apply for SEK 0.2 million in municipal housing allowance and to return SEK 6.2 million for exercise trails; the Centre Party’s Patrick Amofah reserved his position, calling for stronger preventive work, safety measures and climate action, among other things.
