Skarpnäck

The Skarpnäck District Council has approved how association grants for 2025 were utilized. A total of SEK 518,000 was distributed to 35 associations, with an additional SEK 300,000 going to 12 associations in an extra round; most used funds as planned for activities like youth programs, senior events, and amateur culture. Three associations had to repay part of their grant as they couldn't fully implement their activities.

The Skarpnäck District Council is distributing SEK 600,000 in association grants for 2026 to 35 out of 42 applicants. These grants aim to support local community life in areas such as children's and youth activities, elder care, amateur culture, disability work, and environmental initiatives. The council will also cover approximately SEK 410,000 in rental costs for association premises.

Löparnas vänner IF sought permission from the Sports Committee to build a clubhouse and storage shed at Kärrtorp Sports Ground, citing a need for dedicated space to develop their youth-focused running club. However, the Sports Administration denied the request due to limited space and an unwillingness to grant new individual leases, instead planning an inventory of existing storage facilities that could potentially improve Löparnas vänner IF's current storage.

The City of Stockholm will renovate Nytorpsbadet's water purification and pool technology. This temporary measure aims to keep the bath open until 2034, when a larger reconstruction is planned. The renovation is expected to begin after the 2026 swimming season and be completed by April 2027, allowing the bath to open as usual in summer 2027, improving both staff working conditions and visitor experience.

Nytorpsbadet in Hammarbyhöjden will undergo renovation of its water purification system and pool between September 2026 and April 2027. This is intended to keep the 1961 facility, which has outdated buildings and technology, operational until a larger renovation and development planned for around 2034. The works include replacing sand filters and pumps, and improving water play features in the splash pool.

The protocol from Skarpnäck District Council's Pensioner Council shows that elderly issues are addressed, including home care and patient safety in nursing homes. The council supports proposals on winter road maintenance and traffic safety, but calls for better accessibility for the elderly and coordination of efforts. They also express concern about how a revised food strategy might affect the elderly.

This is a list of incoming and outgoing correspondence and matters to and from the Skarpnäck City District Administration. Among other things, Bagarmossen Folkets Hus applied for financial support for the "Gubbröraran" project, which was rejected with reference to ordinary association grants. There are also citizen proposals to replace the gravel with artificial turf on Bagarmossen's open ball court and to lay artificial ice on Tätorp's ball court.

A citizen proposes replacing the gravel field at Bagarmossen center with artificial turf. This would activate the area, improve public health, and increase safety and youth activities in Bagarmossen. Simple lighting is also suggested to enhance the field's usability.

This motion proposes the city enhance pedestrian safety at crosswalks, citing over 4,000 injuries and 12 traffic fatalities in 2023, many involving pedestrians. The Liberals advocate for mapping dangerous locations and prioritizing improvements like better lighting, clearer markings, and raised crosswalks. The Skarpnäck District Administration notes these proposals fall outside their purview and defer to the Traffic Committee's expertise.

Councilor Therese Lindström (M) proposes to permanently open a northbound lane for car traffic on Skanstullsbron to reduce queues and traffic congestion in Södra innerstaden, especially as Skansbron is rebuilt and becomes one-way southbound. The Skarpnäck District Administration welcomes solutions for improved accessibility for all types of traffic but refers the matter to the traffic committee's expertise, as it falls outside their area of responsibility.

Two Liberal politicians propose Stockholm implement a "District Boost" (Stadsdelslyft) to combat insecurity and crime in vulnerable areas, similar to Fokus Järva but broader, with a clear action plan including goals for all involved committees and companies. However, the Skarpnäck District Administration argues that such work is already effectively underway within existing structures and that Skarpnäck does not face the problems the motion addresses; rather, it is experiencing positive development.

The City of Stockholm is implementing a new food program, "Good Food for Health, Climate, and Environment," to replace its previous food strategy. This program aims to promote sustainable and healthy food within municipal operations like schools and elderly care, while also reducing residents' climate impact from food consumption. Key measures include increasing organic food requirements (at least 70% organic, 100% for dairy), cutting climate emissions from procured foods by 40% by 2030, and strengthening the city's food supply preparedness.

This matter concerns how Skarpnäck's preschools address degrading treatment and discrimination. Politicians from C and M welcome an audit showing preventive work is already underway, but seek further information on how the administration will ensure children's perspectives are considered in investigations. The administration states they will report on their work, involve management teams and educators through training to strengthen knowledge, and emphasize the main principal's ultimate responsibility for routines, with principals designating who speaks with children and assistant principals leading the work despite existing staff challenges.

The opposition in Stockholm asked the Skarpnäck district administration how many children hadn't returned to preschool or school after summer 2025, and what the administration is doing to prevent young people from being abducted against their will. The administration replied that no children were missing from Skarpnäck schools or preschools after summer 2025, and they had not investigated any cases of child abduction during that period. They explained they have routines for following up on preschool absences, social services act on welfare reports, and the city works with action plans to detect and prevent honor-related violence and oppression.

The Skarpnäck District Council is appointing Ingvar Hultmark (L) as a new member of the Social Delegation for the remainder of 2026. This delegation handles individual social service matters within the district.

The Skarpnäck District Council reviewed the patient safety report for Hemmet för gamla and Enskededalen's day activity for 2025. The report indicates improvements in patient safety, including fewer fall deviations, but a worrying increase in falls leading to fractures. For 2026, planned measures include reducing fractures, strengthening teamwork, improving medical device handling, and increasing pressure ulcer reporting.

The City of Stockholm and Nacka Municipality have developed an action program for Strömmen to improve its water quality, as it currently suffers from poor ecological and chemical status due to pollution from traffic and sewage. The program proposes concrete measures like purifying stormwater and enhancing habitats for flora and fauna, with initial investments estimated at a minimum of 24 million SEK.

The Skarpnäck District Council plans to procure contractors for winter road maintenance, including snow removal from roads and stairs, sweeping sand, and some park maintenance in the Skarpnäck area. This is to ensure streets and parks remain safe and accessible during winter, with the four-year agreement also including environmental requirements for vehicles and machinery.

The Skarpnäck District Council has approved its activity report and financial statement for 2025. The council met most of its goals, both the city council's overall objectives and its own specific targets, though some areas were only partially achieved. Financially, the council has a surplus of 19.9 million SEK and intends to transfer 5.5 million SEK to 2026 for certain result units.

The opposition parties (C, M, L) questioned the Sports Department about its dialogue with Djurgården Hockey, specifically after the decision to keep Hovet arena until 2030, seeking clarity on ongoing discussions, efforts to reduce uncertainty for the club, and support for their planned ice hall in Tallkrogen. The Sports Department responded that they maintain continuous dialogue with Djurgården IF regarding facility times, primarily for youth activities, but Hovet is not part of the committee's primary offerings; they are monitoring the Tallkrogen issue but are not formally involved as the Exploitation Department handles discussions with the private developer.
