Kungsholmen

The Kungsholmen District Council needs to elect new members to its social delegation. This is because a member and the chair have resigned, and a substitute member wishes to become a full member. The social delegation makes decisions on individual cases, primarily under the Social Services Act, which cannot be delegated to civil servants.

The Kungsholmen District Council has established a new delegation order, which simplifies administrative work by deciding which employees can make decisions on behalf of the council. These changes, adapted for new laws and reorganizations, affect areas like finance, preschool operations, social services, elder care, and personal data management.

The District Council plans to renovate the 90-meter park section on Ola Hanssonsgatan in Kristineberg during spring 2026. The renovation, estimated to cost between 2.5 and 2.8 million SEK, will include new trees, bushes, and flower meadows to increase biodiversity. Additionally, bicycle parking will be better organized and new seating created to make the park more pleasant to visit.

The Kungsholmen District Council plans to renovate Disponentparken on Lilla Essingen, starting in autumn 2026, at a cost of 3.7 million SEK. The park will feature a dedicated play area for younger children and an open section for socializing and relaxation, incorporating more durable plants and improved accessibility. The administration received extensive feedback from public dialogue, which served as the basis for the renewal.

The Kungsholmen District Council is to decide whether to extend the operating agreement for Solbacken care home with the private company Vardaga Silverhemmen AB until January 2030. Vardaga has operated the 64-bed dementia care home since 2021, and the administration recommends an extension. This is because the service is deemed to meet requirements, and an extension would provide the most stability and least disruption for residents and staff.

The Kungsholmen District Council reports on unexecuted decisions made under the Social Services Act (SoL) and LSS within three months during the fourth quarter of 2025. This includes six decisions concerning functional impairments and 22 within elderly care. Many of these cases involve individuals declining offered housing or services, but a lack of available places or difficulties in recruiting staff are also cited.

The Kungsholmen District Council is to approve a plan for special housing for individuals with disabilities and social psychiatric needs for 2026-2036. The Inner City Region (Kungsholmen, Norra Innerstaden, and Södermalm) has identified a need for more group homes with standard accessibility and spacious, detached group homes, despite the challenges of building these in the inner city. The goal is to meet growing demand and reduce placements outside the standard system.

The Kungsholmen District Council is proposed to approve the allocation of association grants for 2026. A total of SEK 800,000 will be distributed to 17 local associations and non-profit organizations, aiming to boost community engagement and local activities for Kungsholmen residents, including senior activities, youth sports, and cultural events.

The Kungsholmen District Council is set to approve the February 2026 monthly report, which includes an economic forecast for the year. The administration is projected to have a surplus of 1.5 million SEK, with elder care and other operations contributing to this surplus, while labor market measures and financial assistance are expected to show deficits.

Stockholm City Council is set to decide on implementing an alcohol ban along parts of Fleminggatan and Sankt Eriksgatan in Kungsholmen. This measure aims to increase safety and reduce issues like littering, vandalism, and threatening situations, as the area has been designated an open drug scene since 2017. The proposal, from the Kungsholmen District Council and supported by the City Executive Office, seeks to complement existing crime prevention efforts.

The City of Stockholm has approved a change in the contracting party and security for land development in Primusparken on Lilla Essingen. Klövern AB will now take over responsibility from Wästbygg Gruppen AB for approximately 90 apartments, becoming jointly liable to the city after purchasing the two properties. This ensures the continued progress of the project, which includes 550 new homes, a care home, a preschool, and a new waterfront promenade.

The city has approved a revised plan for Stadshagen on Västra Kungsholmen. The previously planned primary school will not be built, freeing up space to instead construct two full-sized 11-a-side pitches at Stadshagen IP, with a 7-a-side pitch moving to Tranebergsängen. Additionally, new housing or a care home is planned for the area.

The Elderly Care Committee is reporting to the City Council on decisions concerning elderly care that were not implemented during the fourth quarter of 2025. A total of 261 decisions remained unimplemented. The most common reason for this was elderly individuals declining offers of special housing, often due to specific location preferences or not wishing to move at that time. Northern Inner City, Södermalm, and Kungsholmen had the highest number of unimplemented decisions, with 100% of unimplemented decisions in Järva, Kungsholmen, and Skärholmen attributed to individuals declining or having specific requests.

The Moderates inquired with the social welfare committee about the closure of HVB Essinge, despite the majority's desire to open more such homes, and the intended use of the premises. The social administration explained that HVB Essinge was closed due to low occupancy because the demand for places for unaccompanied children and youth had ceased. The administration is now reviewing how the premises can be used in the future, as they are not considered suitable for other HVB operations, and no other similar facilities are planned for closure.

The Real Estate Committee has approved a status report for the renovation of Hantverkargatan 3I-L, also known as Glasbruket 5. This culturally significant, blue-classified building requires renovation due to aging technical installations and a need for improved accessibility and fire safety. The project is currently paused as there is no tenant, but the design work is nearly complete to prevent future delays.

The Real Estate Committee has approved a major renovation of the façade and windows of Building 07 in Pilträdet 11, the old operating theatre at Serafimerlasarettet. The building, which currently houses a preschool and offices for the Kungsholmen City District Administration, requires extensive maintenance due to water penetration issues. The renovation aims to secure the building against the elements and restore its cultural-historical value, including changing the façade color and lighting to its original design.

The Real Estate Committee plans to approve an extensive renovation of the roof, facade, and windows of building 05 in Pilträdet 11, the old Serafimerlasarettet. This historically significant building, green-marked on the City Museum's map and currently used by the Education Administration, will undergo restoration to its original appearance, potentially including changes to facade color and lighting, to ensure weather protection. The project is scheduled to start in 2027 and be completed in 2028.

The Board of Fastighets AB Valsverket 7 is to approve a report detailing the property's activities in 2025, covering investments, maintenance, rentals, and progress towards company goals. The report also outlines future plans for the property.

Swedish Democrats proposed developing the Rålambshov Park amphitheater into a safer, year-round hub with a café, dance stage, and ice rink. The City Executive Board responded that the city is already working to activate and improve safety there through measures like bush trimming, tribune renovation, and creating a dance floor and ice rink, deeming the existing plan sufficient while also aiming to keep the space open for various events. The Swedish Democrats filed reservations, arguing further action is needed.

Stockholm Parkering is revising the budget for the Sandhagsgatan project to 282 million kronor. This is because the planned school above the parking garage, which was to be built by Sisab, has been postponed to 2045 at the earliest. This means Stockholm Parkering will not be paid for preparatory work on the school until a new developer takes over the land, thus increasing the parking project's costs until then.
