Skärholmen

The Social Services Department proposes that the city proceed with planning a group home under the Act concerning Support and Service for Persons with Certain Functional Impairments (LSS) at Lammholmsbacken in Skärholmen. The home is planned to have six apartments and shared spaces, with completion in 2030; the estimated rent for the first year is approximately SEK 2.5 million.

Johannesdals BP is proposed to get a new artificial-turf pitch for seven-a-side football, facilities for school athletics and a toilet building with an accessible toilet.

The Culture Committee awarded Grafikens Hus SEK 500,000 for a detailed feasibility study and design work for a venue in Skärholmen, and the decision was adopted with immediate effect. A permanent location could broaden cultural offerings for children, young people and families and help create a livelier town centre. Several members also stressed the importance of long-term funding and ensuring that the activities reach both Skärholmen residents and visitors from elsewhere in the city.

The Real Estate Administration and Sports Administration propose continuing planning for new sports facilities at Vårbergs IP in Skärholmen. The existing rink will be demolished, and the area is proposed to include a multisport court, four basketball courts, a motor skills course, climbing facilities, an outdoor gym, improved lighting, and a more accessible entrance, with a particular focus on children and young people. Construction is planned to begin in the second quarter of 2027, and the facility is scheduled for completion in the second quarter of 2028.

The Social Services Administration proposes planning a new supported residence in Sätra Centrum for people with disabilities under the Act concerning Support and Service for Persons with Certain Functional Impairments (LSS) or the Social Services Act (SoL).

Skärholmen District Administration commented on proposals for a more equitable preschool that supports language development. The administration supported, among other things, better monitoring of attendance and expanded free preschool, but objected to several proposals on language assessment and called for clearer rules, long-term government funding, and time to evaluate the measures. The minutes did not state what the City Executive Board decided.

A food truck is proposed to operate at Skärholmstorget from 20 April to 31 December 2026, between 10:00 and 18:00. The truck is 5.2 metres long, 2.1 metres wide, and 2.3 metres high, and the Skärholmen District Administration recommends that the application be approved without objections.

The association FOLK i Skärholmen is proposed to be allowed to set up the converted caravan Konstvagnen at five locations in Sätra, Skärholmen, Vårberg and Bredäng during summer 2026. Children and young people aged 7 to 14 will be able to take part in free creative activities on a total of 14 occasions, from 12 noon to 4 p.m., with a maximum of 30 participants at a time. Skärholmen District Administration has no objection to the event.

The Tenants’ Association is proposed to organize Sätraveckorna in Sätradalsparken from 6 to 24 July 2026, on weekdays from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. The festival is primarily aimed at children, young people, and families, offering free activities in sports, play, culture, and creative arts; around 50–100 people are expected to attend daily and 100–150 people on the closing day. The Skärholmen District Administration has no objections, but reminds the organizer to keep the area clean, as the administration is not responsible for the additional waste collection.

The Traffic Office proposes upgrading Borgmästare Skyttes Park in Sätra to strengthen its natural features and make the area more accessible. The plan includes around 15 new trees, meadow areas and plantings for pollinators, improved park paths, a more open playground, and lowering the ground so more stormwater can flow into Sätraån. Planning may cost up to SEK 7 million, and the entire project is estimated to cost approximately SEK 23 million, with implementation planned for 2027–2028.

The Traffic Office proposes extending bus route 135 to Sätrabadet with a new stop on Alsätravägen, giving visitors shorter access to public transport. Six asphalt speed bumps would be removed and three replaced with speed cushions, but around 20 metres of parking would be lost and journeys towards Skärholmen could become slightly longer. Skärholmen District Administration wants the pedestrian connection to be made more accessible by reducing its slope, two trees to be protected, and the area restored after the work.

The City Planning Office is referring a proposal to build a new storage facility at Sätra sports field, Björksätravägen 75. The facility would give the associations more space for equipment, accessories, and clothing; the Skärholmen District Administration has no objections since the site is not parkland.

A building permit for a new kiosk at Mälarhöjdsbadet, near Ålgrytevägen 120 in Skärholmen, will be considered. The proposed kiosk would be approximately 14 square metres and open every day from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. during the summer, offering ice cream, drinks, and simple food; around 200 customers per day are expected in good weather. The location is intended to make the business easier to find and, according to the application, contribute to a safer and better-maintained entrance to the bathing area.

The Skärholmen District Administration proposes no objections to Feministiskt initiativ’s public meeting in Bredängsparken on August 30, 2026, from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. The meeting may use public space for speeches, conversations, and leaflet distribution, provided that pedestrian, bicycle, and emergency traffic can pass through and that the site is restored afterward.

Skärholmen District Council will consider a six-month report on lex Sarah and lex Maria for the period 1 January–30 June 2026. The administration received 17 lex Sarah reports, completed 11 investigations, and has 6 remaining to finalize; no lex Maria notifications were made. Three investigations concern misconduct or clear risks, including applications not being assessed within the statutory time limit, and the administration proposes improved procedures and follow-up.

An application to dig a longer trench to install fiber-optic cable at Stångholmsbacken 10 will be considered. The Skärholmen district administration has no objections, but proposes protecting nearby maple trees and other trees; for trees over 100 centimeters in diameter, suction excavation may be needed to protect the roots.

SISAB is proposed to build a new sports hall at Lillholmsskolan in Skärholmen, as the school will be expanded to accommodate more pupils from preschool class through year 9, as well as pupils in a resource school and adapted school. The Skärholmen district administration is supportive, but wants the city to consider traffic flows, replacement planting for seven trees, the building’s adaptation to the culturally and historically valuable surroundings, and the risk of flooding during heavy rain.

The city is proposing common guidelines for saunas on municipal land and in municipal waters, making it easier to build more saunas open to the public. In central areas and at public bathing sites, all times should be bookable by the public, while outside the city centre the requirement would be at least 50 percent—or 30 percent for association-run saunas in remote locations; the guidelines also propose that new saunas should generally be electric. Skärholmen District Administration welcomes the proposal but suggests that local safety needs should allow measures such as security gates, and that heating methods should not be regulated generally, citing Sätra Sauna at Sätra Beach as an existing wood-fired sauna that is fully open to the public.
