Spånga-Tensta

The City Executive Board will consider a report on the City of Stockholm’s response to the Swedish Transport Administration’s consultation on rebuilding the Mälarbanan railway between Huvudsta and Duvbo. The City believes the temporary access road on site T:74 in Bromsten 9:2 must be moved or adjusted because it conflicts with the Tvärbanan light rail bridge and stop, as well as planned development rights in Södra Solvallastaden; the stormwater culvert at the site also needs to be protected.

The motion proposes instructing the City Executive Board to develop clear rules and a simpler digital permit process for sponsorship and name displays at the city’s sports facilities. Dennis Wedin (M) highlights Spånga ice hockey club, which has around 300 active children and young people and risks losing hundreds of thousands of kronor when a sponsor sign at Spånga ice rink must be removed; the City Executive Board, however, considers its ongoing work on advertising and sponsorship rules sufficient and says that official naming rights are legally and practically difficult.

The motion proposes that the City of Stockholm strengthen protection for privately owned buildings of cultural and historical value through new strategies, clearer guidelines, and better opportunities to intervene in cases of neglect. The Hedvig 7 property, also known as Spånga Järn- och Färg, is highlighted as an example following a fire and deterioration. The City Executive Board proposes that the motion be considered answered, while the city may review its procedures and supervision within the existing Planning and Building Act framework.

The Education Committee approved the Education Administration's response to a letter from Jan Jönsson (L) regarding expanding driving license scholarships for vocational programs. The administration stated that an expansion, including natural resource management and certain vehicle and transport program specializations, is already being implemented for autumn 2026 as per the 2026 budget. However, the Liberals, through Gulan Avci (L), desire a broader initiative that also covers programs such as crafts, hotel, and restaurant.

The City Planning Committee decided to propose rescinding about 3.7 hectares of the Igelbäcken cultural reserve for public consultation. This is to allow for additional ramp construction for the Stockholm Bypass at the Hjulsta interchange and to relocate part of the Akalla link, despite the Beauty Council's opposition to the changes due to concerns about their necessity and damage to ancient monument environments. Proposed compensation includes noise protection measures, wetland restoration, and a new walking path within the reserve.

The City Council approved plans for AB Stockholmshem to construct approximately 255 new rental apartments on the Esbjörn 1 property in Solhem, Spånga, at an estimated cost of 1,024 million SEK, which includes demolishing existing residential buildings.

Dennis Wedin (M) proposed that the City of Stockholm develop clear guidelines and a simpler permit process for sponsorship and naming rights at municipal sports facilities, aiming to help sports clubs like Spånga Ishockeyklub secure sponsorship revenue. However, the City Executive Board and the Sports Committee rejected the motion, stating that work is already underway to review existing guidelines, and that it would be legally complex and unfair to allow certain clubs to sell naming rights for facilities used by many.

Dennis Wedin (M) proposes that the City of Stockholm develop clear rules and simpler procedures for sponsorship and naming rights at municipal sports facilities, citing instances where clubs like Spånga Ishockeyklubb lose sponsorship revenue due to unclear regulations. However, the City Executive Office and the Sports Committee reject the proposal, stating that a review of advertising and sponsorship guidelines is already underway, and noting legal difficulties in allowing individual clubs to sell naming rights for facilities used by many.

Councillor Dennis Wedin (M) proposed that the City of Stockholm develop clear rules and a simpler process for sports clubs to sponsor their facilities with names and advertising, helping clubs like Spånga Hockey gain revenue.

The Micasa Fastigheter board approved an investigation into building six new apartments for LSS housing (support and service for certain disabled persons) on the Hjälmfast 86 property in Solhem, addressing a significant shortage of detached group homes in the city.

The City Executive Board approved AB Stockholmshem's plan to build approximately 255 new rental apartments in "Stockholmshus" in Solhem, Spånga. The existing 96 apartments, built in 1973, will be demolished as they are deemed to have reached the end of their lifespan and are not technically or commercially viable to renovate. The Moderates and Christian Democrats reserved their position, proposing instead that the new construction should match the volume of the current buildings to preserve the area's character and green spaces.

Stockholms Stadshus AB's group board has approved AB Stockholmshem's new housing production at the Esbjörn 1 property in Solhem, with an investment cost of 1,024 million SEK for 255 new apartments. Christofer Fjellner (M) and Gustav Johansson (M) dissented, arguing that such a large development would negatively impact the area's character and that new construction should match the volume and footprint of the existing 96 apartments.

Liberal Party members have proposed the City of Stockholm take stronger action to protect privately owned buildings of cultural-historical significance, including investigating new strategies and tools and strengthening the possibility of compulsory management, citing the Hedvig 7 property in Spånga as an example of a building threatened by decay. However, the City Executive Board suggests responding to the motion by referring to existing legislation and ongoing work on the new Planning and Building Act, but also states the city's work should focus on strengthening the application of existing tools and coordinating the city's working methods.

The Sports Committee approved the administration's response regarding an investigation into the conditions for a new ice rink at Spånga IP. This decision means the committee endorsed the official statement prepared in response to a submission from Anna Cederschiöld et al. (M), Hanna Wistrand (L), and Mikael Peterson (C).

The Liberals propose that the City of Stockholm act more forcefully to protect privately owned buildings of cultural-historical importance, including by introducing clearer guidelines and investigating compulsory management for neglect, citing the fire-damaged Hedvig 7 property in Spånga as an example. The majority responded that they are already working to strengthen existing tools and coordinate city practices, but contend that the city has limited authority and that sharper legislation for compulsory management beyond the housing sector is a matter for the government.

Stockholmshem plans to demolish 96 older rental apartments on the Esbjörn 1 property in Solhem, Spånga, built in 1973 and no longer meeting current standards. In their place, they intend to construct approximately 255 new rental apartments, known as Stockholmshus, at a total cost of 1,024 million SEK. Demolition of the existing buildings is slated for 2027, with occupancy in the new homes anticipated between late 2029 and late 2031, contingent on city council approval of the project.

The City Council is expected to approve the construction of a themed playground called "The Journey Through Time – From Sea to Home" in southern Spångadalen, between Tensta, Rinkeby, and Bromsten. The park, designed in consultation with local residents, is projected to cost approximately SEK 84.7 million to build and SEK 1.2 million annually to operate. Critics argue the cost is excessive, potentially making it the city's most expensive playground.

The City of Stockholm plans to renovate Kämpingeskolan's gymnasium in Tensta to modernize the premises and meet current demands, aiming to increase access to functional sports facilities for both schools and local associations.

The Liberals propose that the City of Stockholm act more forcefully to protect privately owned buildings of cultural-historical importance, such as Spånga Järn- och Färg. They advocate for investigating new strategies, developing tools to strengthen compulsory management in cases of neglect, and creating clearer guidelines to ensure compliance with protection clauses in detailed development plans. The majority believes that existing laws and tools are sufficient but that their application and coordination can be strengthened.
