The Järva City District Committee approved the administration's report on new guidelines for child safety in Stockholm's municipal preschools, which will now proceed to the City Executive Board. These guidelines aim to improve consistency and quality in child safety by providing a clearer structure and greater emphasis on preventative work. However, the Moderates, Liberals, and Centre Party dissented, arguing the guidelines needed to be stronger regarding "mega-preschools," expanded background checks for staff, handling honor-related violence and oppression, and shortcomings in welfare reports.

Agenda items
The Järva City District Committee rejected a citizen proposal to enlarge and waterproof notice boards, as the district administration lacks authority in the matter. However, the administration will inform the Traffic Administration, responsible for the city's notice boards, about the proposal's points of view. The Moderates and Liberals issued a separate statement welcoming the information to the Traffic Administration and calling for a review of notice boards in Järva, along with regulations to prevent the spread of extremist messages.
The Järva City District Council approved the 2025 patient safety report for Kista Service House, Kista Nursing and Care Home, Rinkeby Nursing and Care Home, and Elinsborgsbacken special housing for psychosocial support. The report outlined how these operations systematically worked to enhance patient safety and quality within healthcare during the year.
The Järva City District Board approved a Public Benefit Partnership (IOP) with the association Järvas Gemensamma Krafter for 2026–2029. This SEK 300,000 annual collaboration will focus on increasing resident knowledge and participation in Järva regarding source separation, reuse, and reduced littering to foster a more sustainable and pleasant environment, particularly in Tensta and Hjulsta.
The Järva City District Council decided to enter into an Ideation-Driven Public Partnership (IOP) with Cykelfrämjandet for the years 2026–2029, providing 200,000 SEK annually. This collaboration aims to teach Järva residents bike repair and maintenance, increase cycling accessibility, and offer summer jobs for young people to strengthen their position in the labor market.
The Järva City District Committee has decided to enter into an Idea-Driven Public Partnership (IOP) with IOGT-NTO Spånga. This collaboration, running from May 2026 to April 2029 with annual funding of 500,000 SEK, will focus on enhancing children's and young people's knowledge of sustainability and reuse, and increasing their participation in local decision-making processes through activities like remake workshops and youth conferences.
The Järva City District Committee approved its April 2026 monthly report, which indicated that the committee's operating budget, totaling 3,584.7 million SEK after adjustments, is projected to be in balance after result transfers. The investment budget for machinery, inventory, and urban environment also showed a balanced forecast.
The Järva District Council decided to undertake an extensive renovation and adaptation of the former Kämpingeskolan in Tensta to create a new administrative office for the district, aiming to consolidate approximately 640 employees, streamline premises use, and reduce city costs. The Moderates, Liberals, Centre Party, and Sweden Democrats dissented, proposing to reject the proposal due to its high cost and suggesting Kista be investigated as a more cost-effective alternative.
The Järva District Council has approved its budget proposal for 2027, with a focus on 2028 and 2029, and has submitted it to the City Executive Board. This proposal outlines the council's priorities, local development needs, financial analysis, and premises plan. The decision was made after a vote where the chairperson's proposal was adopted over alternative proposals from the Moderates, Sweden Democrats, Liberals, and Centre Party, all of whom registered their own reservations.
The Järva District Council addressed a matter concerning the transfer of custody to a specially appointed guardian under the Parental Code. This item was removed from the agenda due to confidentiality, meaning no details about the specific case were publicly disclosed.
The Järva City District Council reviewed the minutes from the Social Delegation's meetings in April 2026 and decided to file them, noting and archiving the information. The meeting was also adjourned for a public Q&A and coffee break.
The Social Welfare Committee approved the Social Welfare Administration's statement regarding the Swedish Health and Social Care Inspectorate's (IVO) review of the Järva and Skärholmen district administrations. The Moderate Party had inquired about the administration's view on the deficiencies highlighted by IVO and what support could be offered to address them. The Social Welfare Administration acknowledged that the district committees had responded to the criticism and presented their quality improvement work, but also stated that IVO's supervision method, involving surveys and group interviews, did not always accurately reflect the operations' working methods.
The Sports Committee approved the administration's response to a letter from Hanna Wistrand (L) regarding the renovation of Eggeby stable. The administration stated that the Property Management Office, not the Sports Committee, is responsible for the stable. Hanna Wistrand (L) expressed her disappointment, arguing that this division of responsibility leads to inaction and risks the stable's decay instead of its development into an important meeting place for children and youth in the Järva area.
The Real Estate Committee approved an implementation decision for a new administration office for the Järva City District Administration at Kämpinge 2, meaning the City Council is now proposed to approve the project and the Real Estate Committee can carry it out. The Moderates and Liberals dissented, proposing instead that Kämpinge 2 be sold, or that existing premises be adapted and parts of the administration decentralized to be closer to citizens.
The Real Estate Committee approved a proposal to construct a temporary hall at Dalhagens Sports Ground in Akalla. This decision means the committee now recommends the City Council also approve the project and authorize the Real Estate Committee to implement it at the cost detailed in Appendix 1 of the report. This is an implementation decision for a project that will affect Dalhagens sports facility.
The Property Committee approved the renovation of Kämpinge school's gymnasium building. The Moderates reserved their position, demanding that costs for using the gymnasium as a construction site for the main school building's renovation be itemized and not charged to sports activities. The Liberals also issued a special statement on the importance of coordinating with the Sports Department to ensure year-round training opportunities for cricket clubs, including through the provision of safety nets for cricket balls.
The Sports Committee is set to consider a proposal to continue organized spontaneous football for youth aged 13-20 in Järva during the October 2026 to April 2027 season. This activity, which enhances safety, will take place in Tensta, Ärvinge, Rinkeby, and Spånga football halls, run by local sports clubs with 1.4 million SEK in leader cost support from the Sports Administration.
Council members Jan Jönsson and Anne-Lie Elfvén (L) proposed that Stockholm create an action plan for a "Neighborhood Boost" in all vulnerable areas, not just Järva, with concrete goals to improve safety and living conditions, arguing that violence has spread and current efforts lack unified governance. The city responded that it is already working in four focus areas and that its budget guides the work to reduce segregation, deeming an additional action plan unnecessary as existing structures are sufficient and work to strengthen social services and crime prevention is ongoing.
Stockholm City Council will decide on approving the renovation and expansion of the Tensta Reservoir in Järva. This project, crucial for securing drinking water for approximately 220,000 residents in western Stockholm, involves building a new reservoir next to the existing 1969 structure, followed by its renovation, an eight-year endeavor representing a significant investment in the city's water supply.
The City Executive Board approved the formation of Kista Utveckling AB, a company owned by Stockholm Stadshus AB, to drive and coordinate urban development, business collaboration, and place development in Kista to enhance the area's attractiveness. A budget of -10 million SEK and an unconditional shareholder contribution of 100 million SEK were approved for 2026.
