Gabriel Kroon and Liliane Åkerlund (SD) proposed developing the amphitheater in Rålambshovsparken into a year-round meeting place with a café and dance stage to enhance safety. City departments, including the City Executive Office, Traffic Committee, and Kungsholmen District Council, stated they are already actively working to improve the area and increase safety through measures such as shrub thinning, renovations, ice rink maintenance, and building a dance floor. The City Executive Board recommends that the motion be addressed by referring to these ongoing efforts.

Agenda items
The Kungsholmen District Council approved its May 2026 monthly report, which projected a surplus of 11.3 million SEK after profit transfer, a 5 million SEK improvement in elderly care. However, costs for financial assistance and places in nursing homes are expected to rise later in the year.
The Kungsholmen District Council addressed two written proposals. A proposal from Lars Norén (C) regarding the consequences of competence expulsions was sent to the administration for preparation. Additionally, a proposal from Rickard Ydrenäs (L), Lou-Ann Wejke Norberg et al. (M), and Lars Norén (C) concerning concern reports from preschools and child healthcare centers (BVC) was also forwarded to the administration for preparation.
The district administration updated the committee on several current issues, including the evacuation of Alströmmerhemmet, handling of liquor license referrals, plans for National Day celebrations in Rålambshovsparken, and arrangements for school graduation festivities at the same location. A new Deputy Head of Elderly Care was also introduced.
The Kungsholmen District Council reviewed the balance sheet for June 2026. The council decided to file the balance sheet, meaning it was noted and archived.
The Kungsholmen District Council addressed a motion from Andréa Hedin (M) regarding children in special education programs, who were deemed particularly vulnerable to violence and abuse. The Council decided to refer the district administration's opinion to the City Executive Board, meaning they did not approve the Moderate Party's proposal for a local survey and mandatory staff training. The Moderate Party reserved its position, demanding more targeted measures to protect these children.
The Kungsholmen District Council responded to a referral regarding a revised cultural strategy for the City of Stockholm, generally approving it but emphasizing the need to include people with disabilities and newcomers in cultural access discussions, and to use culture to combat loneliness among the elderly. The opposition (Liberals, Moderates, Centre Party) dissented, arguing the majority failed to meet the program's ambitions, citing cuts to security guards, rejection of proposals for care homes in "Kulanpremien," and lack of access to school premises for young cultural groups.
The Kungsholmen District Council approved the administration's statement regarding the City Audit's 2025 annual report. The audit found that the council generally conducted its operations effectively and economically satisfactorily, though some recommendations remain, particularly concerning implementation plans in home care and systematic fire protection work in care homes.
The Kungsholmen District Council approved the administration's response regarding the Sweden Democrats' request to reinstate bus line 54 on Kungsholmen. The Council noted that public transport changes since 2025 have improved bus services with new lines like 5, 74, and 65, and emphasized the importance of good bus service for groups such as the elderly and families with children. While decisions about public transport rest with Region Stockholm's traffic administration, the Council wants Kungsholmen's needs to continue to be raised in discussions with them.
The Kungsholmen District Council responded to a Centre Party proposal regarding indicators and targets for Stockholm's action plan for an age-friendly city. The council decided to send the administration's report as its answer, stating that while the proposal's structure was good, decisions on specific indicators should be handled within the city's budget process and the council's operational plan. Council member Lars Norén issued a special statement, finding the administration's recommendation to limit indicators and use existing measurements to be positive.
The Kungsholmen District Council considered a letter from the Liberals and Moderates concerning elderly care. The letter inquired about measures to create more housing, what happens if someone isn't placed in time, and actions for inaccessible homes. The Council decided to forward the administration's official statement as a response to these questions.
The Kungsholmen District Council approved the Participation of the Support and Service Area in the City of Stockholm's Quality Award 2026. This annual award recognizes and rewards successful operational development within the city while also serving as a tool for evaluating operations.
The Kungsholmen District Council approved an investigation into building a new care home for 80-100 residents in the Skäggyxan project in Stadshagen, citing a large and increasing need for elderly care places. The Liberals and Centre Party reserved their position, requesting the investigation also include service apartments for seniors. The Moderates and Sweden Democrats reserved their position against the decision, instead proposing an investigation into building the home in the Hornsberg quarter and preserving existing sports areas at Stadshagen IP.
The Kungsholmen District Council approved its first-trimester report for 2026, forwarding it to the City Executive Board. The report indicates the council is on track to meet its goals with a 3.5 million SEK surplus, though risks exist in leisure, elderly care, and preschool services. Additionally, the council adjusted annual targets for children in sports, plastic consumption, and summer jobs, and requested a 0.7 million SEK budget adjustment for the start-up costs of the OB-preschool.
The Kungsholmen District Council reviewed a notification regarding the minutes from the Social Delegation's extraordinary meeting on May 26, 2026. The Council decided to file the notification, meaning the information was noted but no further decision was made on the matter.
The board of Stockholm Avfall AB addressed several key waste management issues, approving the company's multi-year plan for 2027-2029 which includes investments in water and sewage. They also proposed extending commercial waste collection until December 2026 and allocated 29 million SEK to the Hornsbergskvarteren waste suction project to enhance local waste management.
The Kungsholmen District Council proposes to submit an official statement to the City Executive Board in response to a referral concerning the "Preschool in Stockholm 2025" report. This report provides a comprehensive overview of Stockholm's preschools, addressing topics such as their conditions, systematic quality work, language development initiatives, and their compensatory mission.
Centerpartiet and Liberalerna have proposed measures to make Primusgatan 75 at Lilla Essingen a safer and more vibrant summer environment, including a temporary summer crosswalk, textured paint on dock ladders to prevent slips, and a floating dock and sauna raft for improved swimming. Kungsholmen District Administration responds that the Traffic Committee is responsible for summer spots and bathing/sauna issues, and that Luxviken is one of several waterfront areas being considered for development.
The board for Skolfastigheter i Stockholm AB (SISAB) approved an investigation into renovating Åsö gymnasium in Södermalm, with this initial phase costing SEK 13.5 million to be financed by SISAB. The Moderates reserved their position, advocating for a broader investigation that includes alternative solutions, clarifies responsibilities between city entities, and explores alternative premises, given the estimated total investment exceeds SEK 1 billion.
The board of Micasa Fastigheter AB has decided to investigate building a new care home with 80-100 places in the Skäggyxan project within the Stadshagen 1:5 property in Stadshagen. The CEO was tasked with returning with a directional decision, while Liso Norrman (L) dissented, arguing the investigation should also include service apartments for seniors, and the Christian Democrats and Moderates expressed concern about sacrificing sports areas.
