Skärholmen

The City Council has approved plans for a new, full-sized recycling center in Sätra, southwest Stockholm, at a cost of 337 million SEK. This new facility will replace the previously closed Sätra center, offering improved capacity for bulky and hazardous waste, with an increased focus on reuse. Politicians emphasized that the center must be safe and secure and help combat waste-related crime in the city.

The City of Stockholm plans to renovate and expand Lillholmsskolan in Skärholmen for 461.7 million SEK, providing new school premises, facilities for students with special needs, and a new sports hall to replace temporary buildings and accommodate more students. While the sports hall will serve both the school and local associations, the Moderates and Liberals criticize the decision, arguing it replaces a planned sports facility at Vårbergs IP that would have better served community organizations.

The City of Stockholm has provided feedback on the Masmo Tunnel, a component of the planned Tramway South. The city emphasizes the need for clearer investigations into environmental impacts, such as groundwater effects and pollution, and stresses the importance of adhering to the project budget. Tramway South aims to enhance public transport and facilitate urban development in southern Stockholm by connecting Flemingsberg and Skärholmen with eight stops and a depot, contributing to 18,500 new homes in Huddinge municipality.

The City Council is proposed to revoke the overarching "Fokus Skärholmen" decision, which encompassed 16 urban development projects with the potential for approximately 7,200 new homes. This is due to difficulties in project follow-up and a deteriorating market, rendering several projects unprofitable. Moving forward, individual project follow-up will occur, with four active projects—Ålgrytevägen, Kråksätra, Östra Bredäng, and Sätra centrum—recommended for their own specific directives to continue, including 900 new homes at Ålgrytevägen. Liberals and Christian Democrats criticize the lack of progress and poor economics, arguing Skärholmen is falling behind.

This report lists new matters and protocols submitted to the City Executive Board between February 26 and March 11, 2026.

The report also provides information on protocols from previous meetings.

The City of Stockholm has responded to Region Stockholm's proposed roadmaps for developing the regional city centers of Kungens kurva-Skärholmen and Kista-Sollentuna-Häggvik.

The aim is for these areas to evolve into vibrant hubs that contribute to a sustainable Stockholm.

The Culture Committee decided to file the previous minutes from the January 20th meeting. This is a routine measure to formally approve and archive prior meeting notes, with no direct impact on citizens.

Two SD politicians, Gabriel Kroon and Mats Johnsson, want to halt the construction of an LSS residential home in Lammholmen, citing unsuitable ground conditions, risk to old-growth forest, and highway noise impacting both future residents and neighbors. The City Executive Board proposes rejecting the motion, emphasizing the high demand for LSS housing in Stockholm and noting that the site's suitability, including noise and natural values, will be thoroughly investigated during the ongoing detailed development plan process.

Anette Hellström and Johan Nilsson (M) proposed that the city quickly establish a new recycling center in western Söderort due to the closure of the Sätra recycling center, and also increase capacity at existing centers in southern Stockholm. The City of Stockholm responded that it has already taken sufficient measures, including planning a small, temporary recycling center to open in Skärholmen centrum in September 2025 and expanding capacity at Vantör recycling center.

The council also discussed the 2025 activity report, which included initiatives such as LGBTQI meeting places, IT security training, and "Cycling Without Age."

The minutes detail a meeting with the council for disability issues in the districts of Hägersten-Älvsjö and Skärholmen. Topics discussed included a ten-year housing plan for people with disabilities and strategies to increase their participation in elections. Additionally, Hägersten-Älvsjö will take over a group home for deafblind individuals and renovate a supported living facility, while Skärholmen plans to open a new supported living facility with twelve apartments in 2027 and launch a mobile social services unit.

The Inspectorate of Healthcare and Social Welfare (IVO) reviewed the Skärholmen district council and found deficiencies in how they handle cases for children and young people, including checks before child placements, handling of reported concerns, and the municipality's own quality control. The Skärholmen district council has since reported the measures they have taken and plan, which IVO deems sufficient to address the deficiencies and has therefore closed the case, though the municipality must continue its quality work and evaluate the effects of the measures.

The City of Stockholm and the Red Cross Folk High School in Skärholmen have signed a cooperation agreement for the years 2026-2027. The goal is to strengthen residents' trust in society and increase knowledge about social support services, particularly for parents and young adults in Skärholmen, Sätra, Bredäng, and Vårberg. The collaboration will include offering parenting courses, civic orientation, senior activities, and competence development in elderly care.

The Skärholmen district council will select a new alternate member for its pensioners' council. Lena Renner, nominated by SPF Seniorerna, is proposed for election until December 31, 2026.

The Skärholmen District Council has updated its delegation of authority, changing the rules for who can make various decisions within Skärholmen's social services. This ongoing update adjusts legal references and clarifies processes for data protection, information security, and handling Lex Sarah and Lex Maria cases. While some decisions can now be made at a lower level, the council retains the right to decide on matters concerning personal integrity, such as paternity investigations and custody transfers.

The Skärholmen District Committee has decided to designate fifteen named officials who can request police assistance in cases involving the care of children and young people under the Care of Young Persons Act (LVU) and the Act on Placement in Protected Accommodation. This measure aims to ensure swift implementation of necessary interventions, such as when a guardian opposes a decision. This new decision replaces previous similar authorizations.
