Agenda items
The Inspectorate of Healthcare and Welfare (IVO) has reviewed the Skärholmen district administration and found deficiencies in their handling of cases concerning children and youth, particularly regarding checks before placements, processing of welfare concerns, and self-monitoring. The administration partially acknowledges the shortcomings but states that several measures were already implemented during 2025, including reorganization and stricter procedures. They plan further improvements in 2026 to ensure lawful and high-quality handling for children and youth.
The Skärholmen district administration has approved a permit application to build a new, gas-insulated substation in the Sätra industrial area, near the properties Sätra 2:1 and Bredäng 1:2. Owned by Svenska Kraftnät, this substation is part of a larger initiative to secure and improve the electricity supply for the Stockholm region in the future. The city planning office requested feedback on this matter, and the Skärholmen district administration has no objections.
The Skärholmen District Council proposes investing in the renovation of two parks in the area. Park playground Kulan in Sätra will receive SEK 12 million between 2027-2029 for, among other things, renewing climbing equipment, swings, and a multi-sport area. Park playground Ängen in Bredäng, which will receive SEK 11 million after 2029, will also be renovated with swings, climbing equipment, and a new skate park. The aim is to create safer and more attractive green spaces for all residents, especially children and young people.
Stockholm City plans to implement a new child health program for preschool children aged 1-6, as well as children under one attending open preschools. The program aims to reduce disparities in children's living conditions and promote their physical, mental, and social well-being through preventative, supportive, and inclusive practices in all preschools. Skärholmen district administration supports the program but requests clearer definitions for special support in preschool and that all children attending open preschool, regardless of age, be included.
A resident has proposed that Stockholm City should install a municipal boundary sign earlier along the E4 highway, at Skärholmen district, when driving into Stockholm from Södertälje. Currently, the sign is located at Fruängen, which excludes Skärholmen. The citizen proposal requests that the district council decide on a new sign on the left side of the road where the municipal boundary begins.
A resident has proposed expanding the disc golf course in Sätraskogen, ideally to 18 holes. This would create more opportunities for residents to engage in the sport and enhance recreational possibilities in the area.
A resident proposed installing a notice board for community associations at the Vårberg Stairs in Vårberg, near the subway. The aim is to highlight local community life and activities, thereby increasing resident engagement and safety in Skärholmen. The district administration is positive towards the proposal and will investigate the possibilities of mounting such a board at the suggested location.
A resident proposed that Stockholm City and the Skärholmen district administration should ban begging near ATMs, citing feelings of discomfort and insecurity when withdrawing money. The proposal suggests such a ban would increase safety without infringing on individual rights, and should be developed in consultation with social services and civil society.
The Cultural Administration's management group discussed its 2026 activity plan, featuring "Skärholmen Tillsammans." This project in Skärholmen will have local associations train 16-21 year olds as activity leaders, aiming to provide role models and opportunities for work or involvement, especially for those struggling to enter the job market.
