Skärholmen

The City Executive Board proposes a 461.7 million SEK renovation and expansion of Lillholmsskolan in Skärholmen, including a new sports hall and adaptations for special needs education, to increase capacity and replace temporary facilities. Additionally, Skolfastigheter i Stockholm AB (SISAB) has approved a 5.8 million SEK technical upgrade for Eriksdalsskolan in Södermalm, as its existing technical installations have reached the end of their lifespan.

The minutes from the Collaboration Agreement Steering Group (SÖK) in Skärholmen detail how the police and district administration address safety issues.

The steering group decided on an action plan for 2026, focusing on areas such as at-risk youth, unsafe places, and system-threatening criminality.

The Skärholmen district administration is tasked with reporting on several assignments to the district council, including investigations into suspected sexual offenses within home care, social service dogs, ensuring visually impaired individuals are not deprioritized in crises, and work with dropouts and activity requirements in individual and family care. Furthermore, the administration will address citizen proposals regarding a new sign at the municipal border, expanding the disc golf course in Sätraskogen, and concerns about insecure modular housing at Sätra IP and ice plowing for skating at Sätrastrandsbadet and Mälarhöjdsbadet.

The Skärholmen district administration has no objections to a Walpurgis celebration with a torchlight procession at Mälarhöjdsbadet and Bredängs centrum. The administration proposes that the organizer be responsible for cleaning the areas used during the celebration.

Sätra Care and Nursing Home has released its patient safety report for 2025, detailing efforts to reduce care-related injuries for residents in elder care and social psychiatry. The report outlines goals and strategies for improving patient safety, such as fall prevention and nutritional care training, and enhancing documentation and incident management. In 2025, identified issues included shortcomings in establishing health plans linked to risk assessments, though 92% of patients had current fall risk assessments.

The City Planning Administration has consulted the Skärholmen City District Administration regarding a building permit application for a new prefabricated toilet building.

The Skärholmen City District Administration has no objections to the proposal.

The City Planning Administration has circulated a referral regarding the construction of a 54-meter-high mobile tower with an associated equipment shed near Sätra water tower. This is to maintain mobile coverage and capacity in the area, as Telia Towers Sweden AB is no longer permitted to have equipment on the water tower. The proposed location is within the Sätraskogen nature reserve, necessitating an exemption from the reserve's regulations, and efforts will be made to minimize impact on the natural environment.

The Skärholmen district administration is to respond to a consultation invitation regarding the creation of a biotope protection area at Vikingaberget and Johannesdal.

Additionally, a larger dishwasher is proposed for Sätra care home to reduce disposable item usage.

The Skärholmen District Council is proposed to approve updates to its delegation of authority. These changes mean that decisions regarding placing children in emergency foster care can no longer be delegated to officials, but must be made by the social delegation or the council's chairman in urgent cases. Additionally, a new central placement function will be introduced within the social services department to manage housing for individuals with disabilities, and case managers at Stockholm's emergency care line will be authorized to manage queues for care homes and service houses.

The City Council will consider a referral response regarding a proposal to establish an anti-crime unit within the Swedish Social Insurance Agency. This unit aims to more effectively investigate benefit fraud, encompassing crimes related to benefits and support decided by either the Social Insurance Agency or the Pensions Agency. The proposal grants the Social Insurance Agency increased powers for both investigating and preventing such crimes.

The City Executive Board proposes replacing the current map appendices to Stockholm's general local ordinances with a new digital map in the city's geographical information system, dpMap, to make the rules clearer and more accessible. Additionally, an amendment to paragraph 22 is suggested, extending the requirement to pick up after dogs in public places to cover all of Stockholm, rather than just the inner city as it does now.

The Social Services and Labor Market Administrations propose entrusting the Labor Market Committee with providing activities for welfare recipients, provided a national activity requirement is enacted by July 1, 2026.

Skärholmen District Administration supports the proposal, emphasizing the need for improved inter-administrative collaboration.

The City Council has adopted new guidelines for processing financial assistance applications in Stockholm, aiming to ensure legal certainty and equality.

The Municipal Board has sent a motion regarding self-determination in home care services for referral to several bodies, including the Elderly Care Committee, various district councils, and interest organizations like PRO Stockholm and SPF Stockholm. These organizations are asked to submit their opinions by May 6, 2026. This means the proposal to increase user self-determination in home care will be processed and evaluated by relevant stakeholders before a decision is made.

The City Executive Board proposes a new "Action Plan for a Gender-Equal Stockholm 2030" to replace the current one, aiming to ensure equal rights and opportunities for all residents regardless of gender. This new plan, which emphasizes knowledge, welfare, and participation, will guide all city committees and company boards.

The City of Stockholm proposes new guidelines for child safety in municipal preschools to strengthen and standardize safety work across all facilities.

The Skärholmen City District Administration supports this proposal as it aligns with the city's digitalization goals.

The City Executive Board is circulating a proposal for new guidelines on how the City of Stockholm should allocate places in special housing and supported housing for individuals with psychiatric disabilities or impairments under the Social Services Act (SoL) and the Act concerning Support and Service for Persons with Certain Functional Impairments (LSS).
