The City Planning Committee has decided on a zoning plan proposal for Skarpnäck sports field to allow a new sports facility combining a sports hall, ice rink, and swimming pool at Skarpnäcks Gård 1:1.

The board of Skolfastigheter i Stockholm AB (SISAB) approved an agreement, signed by the CEO, to restrict the leasehold for Svenska Högarna 3 in Skarpnäck.

The decision also included agreements outlining the conditions for the sports hall's construction.

The Centre Party, Moderates, Liberals, and Sweden Democrats dissented, advocating for stricter measures such as enhanced background checks for staff and improved handling of child welfare concerns.

The Skarpnäck District Council approved the administration's statement in response to a consultation on the Action Plan for a Gender Equal Stockholm 2030, which aims for equal rights and opportunities regardless of gender, focusing on women, men, and non-binary individuals.

The Skarpnäck District Council approved issuing new litigation powers of attorney to four managers in the adult and prevention sector: Andreas Johansson, Therese Forsberg, Olivia Sjödén, and Niklas Curman.

The Skarpnäck District Council is set to review a letter regarding training for ongoing deadly violence (PDV). Three politicians (C, L, M) have inquired about current routines, whether staff have received PDV training, and if council politicians should receive it. The administration responds that routines for threats and violence, including PDV scenarios, are in place and part of a city-wide procurement for PDV training for staff. However, the administration does not consider council politicians a target group for PDV training, though they can provide information on crisis management.

The Skarpnäck District Council is set to discuss the appointment of data protection officers. These officers will ensure the council correctly handles personal data under GDPR and the Criminal Data Act, especially concerning work with the Social Services Act (SoL), the Act on Care of Young Persons (LVU), and the Act on Care of Abusers (LVM).

The Skarpnäck District Administration supports the guidelines but suggests reviewing the differing response times for accepting housing offers between SoL and LSS cases to further equalize the process.

The Sweden Democrats dissented, arguing that Bergholmsbacken is an inappropriate location due to it being a valued green space.
