Järva

The Järva District Council decided to close an paternity investigation, in accordance with Chapter 2, Section 7 of the Parenthood Code. This matter was subject to secrecy, meaning the details were not made public.

Sophia Granswed Baat (M) proposes that the Preschool Committee's decision of March 3, 2026, regarding Yxan preschool should not be implemented or should be revoked, allowing the preschool to continue operations. The administration reports that the committee's decision has been appealed and the Administrative Court has granted an injunction, meaning the preschool can continue until a final court decision. The committee cannot alter its decision while the case is with the Administrative Court, but the administration suggests the committee approve the official statement as a response to the initiative.

The City Executive Board decided to grant the Real Estate Committee permission to proceed with the project for a new administrative office for the Järva City District Administration at the Kämpinge 2 property.

Members from the Moderates, Liberals, and Centre Party reserved their positions on the decision.

The City Executive Board has approved the project direction for the new Husbybadet on the Bislet 1 property, allowing the Real Estate Committee to proceed with planning a new bathhouse featuring a 25-meter pool, two teaching pools, and an adventure pool, as the current facility has significant structural defects and will be demolished. Construction is planned to start in Q1 2028 and be completed by Q2 2031, with a budget exceeding 300 million SEK. The Sweden Democrats reserved their position on the decision.

The City Executive Board decided to propose that the City Council approve the revised implementation decision for the Hekla project in Kista. This gives the Land and Exploitation Committee the right to proceed with the project, which includes new office buildings, a residential building, and street extensions, for a total project cost of 78.3 million SEK. The decision also involves renovating Grönlandsparken, aiming to enhance Kista's attractiveness.

The City Executive Board decided to propose to the City Council the approval of a themed playground in Akalla 4:1, Tensta, costing 84.7 million SEK, following a referral back from the City Council questioning the high costs and tight schedule.

The Board of Stockholm Vatten AB is recommended to revise decisions for two Bromsten projects aimed at reducing flood risks. Investigations have shown that the planned measures, a balancing reservoir and two water ponds, would have little or no effect on water levels in Bällstaån. Therefore, the projects are proposed for cancellation, meaning 22.2 million SEK for the reservoir and 16.9 million SEK for the ponds, already spent on planning and investigations, will be expensed.

The Group Board proposes forming a new municipal company, Kista Utveckling AB, to manage and coordinate urban development, business collaboration, and place development in Kista. The company will receive a 2026 budget of 10 million SEK and an unconditional shareholder contribution of 100 million SEK. This new company is intended to reverse Kista's negative trend, characterized by high commercial vacancy rates and insecurity affecting both residents and investments.

Jonas Naddebo (C) proposed developing Kista into a Nordic total defense center, citing high vacancy rates and businesses leaving due to insecurity, and suggesting the city collaborate with the government to attract defense-related operations given existing actors like FOI and Siun. However, the Municipal Board suggests rejecting the motion, asserting the city's ongoing work to transform Kista into an attractive, mixed-use area already addresses its intentions.

The Board of Skolfastigheter i Stockholm AB (SISAB) proposes approving a major renovation and rebuild of Solbacken preschool at Norgegatan 4 in Järva. This project, estimated at SEK 17.7 million and planned for summer and autumn 2026, aims to address moisture damage, ensure a healthy indoor environment, and adapt the premises to the preschool's needs, requiring the preschool to be evacuated during the work.

The Järva City District Council decided to task the administration with investigating two letters. One letter, from Åsa Nilsson Söderström (L) with support from Ole-Jörgen Persson et al. (M) and Patrick Amofah (C), concerns how to prevent abuse within home care services. The second letter, from Patrick Amofah (C), addresses the development of this summer's bus excursions in Järva.

The Järva City District Council decided to task the administration with investigating a citizen proposal to create a nature and culture trail around Spånga Church. The trail would utilize existing paths and include signs with directions and information. The investigation should consider the perspectives of children's rights, disability, and gender equality.

The Järva City District Committee approved the administration's statement regarding proposed traffic changes for SL and WÅAB services in 2026/2027. While the committee found the proposed changes affecting Järva to be positive due to increased service, they emphasized the continued need for improved public transport connections from southern Järva to Barkarby, specifically highlighting the need to investigate a new bus line between Spånga-Rinkeby-Tensta/Hjulsta-Barkarby station-Barkarby commercial area.

The Järva District Council approved the administration's proposal to switch to digital personnel files within the City of Stockholm.

The Council submitted its approval to the City Executive Board in response to their referral.

The Järva City District Board approved the administration's statement regarding the City Executive Board's referral on a new program for events in Stockholm, aimed at strengthening the city's position as an event destination. While largely positive, the administration proposed clarifications to enhance sustainability and rights perspectives, and to prioritize events in disadvantaged areas. However, Patrick Amofah (C) issued a separate statement criticizing the program for being too general, lacking concrete details, indicators, and follow-up mechanisms.

The Järva City District Committee approved the administration's statement responding to the City Executive Board's referral on the Action Plan for a Gender-Equal Stockholm 2030, which aims to ensure equal rights and opportunities for all residents regardless of gender. The Moderates expressed reservations, arguing the plan is too general, process-focused, and fails to adequately address issues like men's violence against women. The Sweden Democrats also issued a special statement questioning the plan's ideological framework and potential for increased bureaucracy, instead advocating for a greater focus on individual perspectives and concrete measures.

The Järva District Council approved the administration's positive opinion on new guidelines for financial assistance in the City of Stockholm and forwarded it to the City Executive Board. These new guidelines emphasize a strengthened child rights perspective, including a higher standard allowance for children and additional grants for leisure activities and summer holiday money. The Moderates reserved their position, arguing that the guidelines risk weakening the work-first principle and that it is problematic to grant assistance to individuals without the right to reside in the country beyond acute emergencies.
