The Preschool Administration proposes shared guidelines for how preschools should assess children’s needs for special support, plan interventions and follow up on them. The Södermalm District Administration supports the proposal and recommends that the committee submit its consultation response, as shared practices and an application form for additional support could reduce differences between preschools.
The City of Stockholm proposes an action plan with 25 activities to better prepare for heatwaves, droughts, torrential rain and fires. The Södermalm District Administration proposes submitting the plan as a consultation response and wants responsibilities and follow-up to be clearly defined, while also taking costs and the need for additional resources into account.
The Södermalm District Council will consider a report on 187 decisions for support under the Social Services Act and the Act concerning Support and Service for Persons with Certain Functional Impairments (LSS) that had not been implemented within three months during the second quarter of 2026. Of these, 81 were new reports and 106 were follow-ups; many of the outstanding services concern special housing, day activities and support persons, often because no places are available or people have declined offers. The administration proposes that the council note the report.
The Södermalm District Administration proposes bringing employment services together in a new premises at Alsnögatan 7–11 from 2027. The premises would provide a better working environment and support collaboration, and could increase capacity by 20–25 participants beyond the current 95 places; rent is expected to raise premises costs by about SEK 1.8 million per year.
The Liberals ask which splash pools on Södermalm have drinking water and whether more water taps can be installed. The administration says that Lilla Blecktornsparken and Norra Bysistäppan already have drinking water, and proposes investigating the possibility at Sankt Paulsparken in 2027; a tap at Tengdahlsparken could be coordinated with a future renovation of the technical building. New taps cost around SEK 138,000 to 320,500, and operating costs are estimated at just over SEK 20,000 per facility per year.
The Södermalm district administration proposes that the committee approve the September 2026 monthly report. The forecast shows a surplus of SEK 65 million before and SEK 53.2 million after transfers of results, mainly in elderly care; at the same time, costs for income support and places in care homes are expected to rise.
A citizen proposal suggests building an outdoor gym next to the playground in Vitabergsparken, where the proposer says there is space and few outdoor gyms in eastern Södermalm. The administration believes the playground should be developed instead and proposes a temporary outdoor gym in Tengdahlsparken, where a permanent outdoor gym is already planned.
