The Skärholmen District Council decided to adopt the administration's statement regarding the transition to digital personnel records. The administration views positively the move from paper-based to digital records for the city's approximately 88,000 employees, expecting increased efficiency, security, and accessibility of personnel documents. This five-year project, funded with 70 million SEK, involves scanning existing paper files and utilizing the Lisa self-service and eDok systems for managing the digital records.

Agenda items
The City Executive Board proposed new guidelines for how special housing for people with disabilities and sheltered housing for social psychiatry should be allocated, aiming for equal treatment and legal certainty. Several district councils, including Skärholmen, were invited to comment by April 28, 2026, with Skärholmen suggesting clarifications on the freedom of choice system, housing changes, and avoiding penalties for unanswered decisions.
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.
Council members Anette Hellström and Johan Nilsson (M) propose that the city quickly replace the Sätra recycling center, which closed at the end of 2024/2025 due to land needed for an Ellevio power grid expansion, with a new permanent or temporary facility in western Söderort. While Stockholm Vatten och Avfall AB plans a mini-recycling center in Skärholmen by September 2025 and has expanded other services, Moderaterna and Liberalerna argue these solutions are insufficient, especially for garden waste, and advocate for a permanent, full-sized recycling center.
Stockholm's City Executive Board has approved plans for a new full-sized recycling center in Sätra, southwest Stockholm, at a cost of 337 million SEK. This new center, replacing the old closed one, will offer increased capacity for bulky and hazardous waste, a greater focus on reuse and education, and aims to be completed by 2031 while also helping to combat waste-related crime.
Stockholm City Council is set to approve a revised plan for the renovation and expansion of Lillholmsskolan in Skärholmen, providing the school with new premises and a sports hall at an estimated total cost of SEK 461.7 million. This project will replace temporary classrooms and create more places for special needs education, though some students will temporarily relocate to Vårbergsskolan during construction. The council believes this is a beneficial temporary solution for both the school and local sports.
The City Council proposes revoking the overarching decision for Fokus Skärholmen, a major urban development project with 7,200 planned homes, due to difficulties in project follow-up amid significant changes and new additions. Instead, follow-up will occur at the project level for four new initiatives: Ålgrytevägen, Kråksätra, Östra Bredäng, and Sätra centrum. While Ålgrytevägen (900 homes, camping development) is deemed profitable and receives its own directive, Kråksätra, Östra Bredäng (740 homes), and Sätra centrum (new district center and homes) are considered less profitable but essential for the area's development and are approved for continued planning. The City Executive Office acknowledges the project's positive potential but highlights the financial demands of its low profitability, while Liberals and Christian Democrats criticize the current administration for stalled projects, worsened finances, and advocate for increased profitability and more ownership-based housing to avoid city debt.
Stockholmshem has decided to renovate 63 apartments in the Högsätra 3 property in Sätra for 104 million SEK. The renovation will include replacing water and sewage pipes, renovating bathrooms, installing new electrical systems, and upgrading kitchens. The aim is to address water damage, improve electrical safety, and raise the standard of the apartments, which is also expected to increase tenant satisfaction. An agreement has been reached with the tenants' association.
This matter concerns the approval of minutes from Stockholmshem's board meeting on February 12, 2026. The meeting addressed internal decisions such as appointing a secretary and approvers, approving financial reports, annual policy reviews, and a progress report on new construction. It also included a CEO update regarding nominations and awards such as "Property Company of the Year Housing" and the move-in at the Persikan block.
This protocol details a steering group meeting for "Skärholmen Together," an initiative providing activities for children and youth. Over 800 children participated in Winter Camp during the sports break, and "after-school activities" are now running in all municipal primary schools in Skärholmen. Additionally, free evening and weekend activities are available, and the initiative plans to participate in the Häng med festival and Security Days in May.
The Skärholmen Youth Council has decided to prioritize two core issues: more jobs for young people and reducing insecurity during evenings. They also want to work on increasing leisure activities for girls and summer holiday activities. The Youth Council will also participate in several election activities leading up to the 2026 election, including panel debates and an election night vigil.
The protocol from the council for disability issues in Hägersten-Älvsjö and Skärholmen shows that these city districts are working to improve support for people with disabilities. Plans include new service housing and a mobile social service in Skärholmen to reach more residents. The council also expressed concern over short response times for special housing offers and was informed that BOSSE is expanding its outreach in Skärholmen.
The Skärholmen district administration's management team protocol covers various personnel and operational matters, including a review of sick leave for 2025 which totaled 7.1 percent. Concerns were raised about deficits within the disability unit, specifically regarding reduced home care hours and their impact on the work environment, alongside a discussion on clarifying Lex Sarah reporting procedures. Furthermore, the administration will transition to activity-based working in its premises starting October 1st.
This is the minutes from a group leader meeting of the Skärholmen City District Board on February 19, 2026. At the meeting, politicians were informed about "Safety Days" and "Senior Days." Andreas Thorstensson also answered prepared questions from the politicians.
This matter presents Skärholmen's district administration's balance sheet, outlining various assignments for the committee to address in spring and summer 2026. These include investigating serious crimes in home care, empty school desks post-summer break, new requirements in the Social Services Act, a citizen proposal for a begging ban at ATMs, and suggestions for a large sign at the municipal border and expanding the Sätraskogen disc golf course. The opening of Skärholmen's Strandstig and ice plowing for skating at Sätrastrandsbadet and Mälarhöjdsbadet are also mentioned.
The Liberals have proposed a "District Boost" initiative to improve vulnerable areas like Skärholmen and Hässelby-Vällingby, advocating for a comprehensive city plan with actions like faster graffiti removal and more bins. Skärholmen's district administration responded that similar work is already underway through the city's "focus areas," with existing budgets already coordinating efforts for sustainable development, safety, and participation, citing "Focus Skärholmen" as a successful ongoing project since 2015.
The Skärholmen City District Administration reported on its handling of Lex Sarah and Lex Maria cases in 2025 to improve social services quality. Of 28 reports received, 15 were deemed serious deficiencies, and two were reported to IVO. Actions primarily involved improving routines, training staff, and strengthening controls to prevent similar shortcomings.
Skärholmen district administration has reported a personal data incident to the Swedish Authority for Privacy Protection (IMY). On January 29, 2026, a technical error in the city's self-service portal for managers and employees led to unauthorized access to 5 employment contracts. The administration considers this incident significant, has informed the affected individuals, and a software update has rectified the error.
The Skärholmen City District Administration has approved an agreement with the Sports Administration for the latter to use and maintain a throwing field in Sätra, which they constructed themselves. This throwing field must be open to the public, with the Sports Administration responsible for all upkeep like mowing and cleaning, free of charge, and for restoring the land if the agreement ends.
The Skärholmen District Council reviewed its 2023 collaborations with Löparakademin and Cykelfrämjandet. Löparakademin received SEK 300,000 for running courses and the Skärholmen Race for children and youth, while Cykelfrämjandet received SEK 80,000 for cycling courses, particularly for women who couldn't cycle previously. Both partnerships were successful in promoting health equity and social inclusion among Skärholmen residents.
