Kungsholmen

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.

This is a notification of the meeting minutes from the Kungsholmen administrative group's meeting on February 12, 2026. The meeting covered the 2025 annual financial statement and activity report, which showed a surplus of 36.4 million SEK.

This is a notification concerning the minutes from the Council for Disability Issues in Kungsholmen and Norra innerstaden. The meeting on February 9, 2026, addressed accessibility at Nova preschool, the need for adapted housing for people with disabilities without intervention, and the importance of various therapeutic functions in daily activities and service housing. The council requests that the administrations investigate these matters and that minutes from other disability councils become more easily accessible.

Kungsholmen District Council's Pensioners' Council met to discuss elder care, expressing dissatisfaction at not being involved in the revised food strategy. They also criticized the "Action Plan for an Age-Friendly City" for its lack of clear division of responsibility and impact analysis for the elderly. Additionally, new premises for home care at Garvagatan, an evacuation residence for Alströmerhemmet in Enskede, and a new nursing and care home in Stadshagen are being planned.

Leif Söderström (SD) has proposed widening Klarastrandsleden to three lanes, with one reversible, to alleviate congestion and traffic issues between northern and southern Stockholm. However, the Kungsholmen District Administration believes Klarastrandsleden's future should be investigated as part of a broader urban development plan for the area, aligning with Stockholm's comprehensive plan to transform traffic arteries into more urban thoroughfares.

The Liberals propose a "Neighborhood Uplift" action plan for Stockholm, targeting all vulnerable areas city-wide, not just Järva, to combat crime and social exclusion. This plan would strengthen core services like housing, social care, and schools, and improve the physical environment through quicker graffiti removal and increased art and culture. Kungsholmen District Council, stating they have no vulnerable areas, supports a long-term, flexible city-wide effort to enhance safety and prevent new vulnerable areas from emerging, while already engaging in crime prevention.

The Kungsholmen District Council has reviewed a proposed new action plan for an age-friendly city, intended to replace the previous "Action Plan for an Elder-Friendly City." The council recommends clarifying the target group (whether it includes only the elderly or all ages) and defining clear responsibilities for implementation, as these aspects are currently ambiguous. They also request that follow-up procedures include concrete measures and timeframes to ensure consistent and effective work across Stockholm.

Kungsholmen City District Council has evaluated "Stockholm City's Food Program," welcoming its heightened ambitions for sustainable and healthy meals, aligning with the city's environmental and climate plans. The program aims to reduce food's climate impact, increase organic and locally sourced options, and strengthen food preparedness, ensuring more sustainable and nutritious meals in schools and elder care, and requiring all city-purchased food, including coffee and tea, to be eco- and fair-labeled.

The Center Party in Kungsholmen questioned the city district administration regarding a data breach at system provider Miljödata, which exposed personal data for all City of Stockholm employees. They sought information on the administration's efforts to prevent fraud attempts against employees and whether specific metrics were used to track this work. The administration responded that they proactively work with guidelines, training, and technical measures, but do not use specific key performance indicators, instead relying on existing systems like internal control and incident reporting for follow-up.

Kungsholmen politicians from the Moderate, Liberal, and Christian Democrat parties inquired about the number of employees receiving severance pay and the reasons why. The administration reported that 11 employees received severance pay in 2025 at a cost of over 2.9 million SEK, and a total of 29 between 2023-2025, citing disagreements over duties or cutbacks as potential reasons. They also outlined their reference and recruitment processes to avoid hiring individuals with past misconduct, noting a lack of comparative statistics with other city districts.

Following a 2023 fire, a new, permanent park playground building will be constructed in Kronobergsparken on Kungsholmen. The temporary pavilion will be demolished in early 2027 and the new, larger, and more accessible facility is expected to be completed by the end of 2027. While the park playground and recreational activities will be temporarily relocated during construction, the administration emphasizes the importance of securing a long-term and functional meeting place for children and young people in the area.
