City-wide

Jan Jönsson and Sara Svanström (the Liberals) propose a digital map function that compiles up-to-date information on roadworks, closures, traffic restrictions and available loading zones to facilitate deliveries to Stockholm’s shops. The City Executive Board proposes that the motion be considered answered, since the city already uses trafiken.nu and open data, but suggests that existing solutions could be further developed.

Jan Jönsson (L) proposes that all city schools be equipped with individual shower stalls, as some students feel unsafe or fear being photographed in the showers and therefore avoid showering or fully participating in physical education. The City Executive Board proposes that the motion be considered answered, since the Education Administration is already reviewing safer, more privacy-protective solutions, with shower stalls as one possible option; immediate installation in all schools would require additional resources.

The Liberals propose that Stockholm develop a strategy to keep rents in assembly halls, association premises and civic centres as low as possible. The City Executive Board proposes that the motion be considered answered, as the city is already investigating a model in which the Cultural Affairs Committee could become the primary tenant and use association grants, while the city cannot control rents set by private property owners.

A motion proposes that the City of Stockholm identify a site for a long-range shooting range for hunters and sport shooters, while also strengthening preparedness. The City Executive Board proposes that the motion be considered answered, as such a range requires large areas, extensive safety distances and noise protection, while the city’s land is already needed for housing, nature and recreation; regional cooperation or an indoor facility may be more feasible.

The motion proposes that the City of Stockholm begin LGBTQ+ certification of home care services and cooperate with advocacy organizations so that older LGBTQ+ people receive safe and respectful treatment in their homes. The City Executive Board proposes that the motion be considered answered, as the city already provides training, certification, and an action plan for LGBTQI people’s rights, while also proposing to further develop this work.

The Liberals propose that the city investigate the obstacles faced by associations and how rules, grants, bookings, and collaboration can be simplified, with the aim of making Stockholm home to Sweden’s best environment for associations. The City Executive Board proposes that the motion be considered answered, since the city is already working on these issues and will develop an association policy in 2026; at the same time, referral bodies point to the need for clearer information, simpler applications, and more long-term financial support.

A motion by Annika Elmlund and Christoffer Hökmark (M) proposes illuminated, staffed safety kiosks where police officers, security guards, field assistants and other professionals can work together and assist residents, inspired by solutions in Tokyo and Frankfurt. The City Executive Board proposes that the motion be considered answered, as the city considers its existing mobile safety work and local partnerships to be functioning well and therefore does not see a general need for permanent kiosks; Sergels torg is mentioned as an example of a shared facility.

Jan Jönsson (L) proposes that the City of Stockholm develop clear guidelines and support materials so that political youth organizations can participate safely in schools, for example through debates, classroom presentations, and information tables. The City Executive Board proposes that the motion be considered answered, since support materials already exist and the Education Act states that the principal decides whether political parties should be invited; the motion will be considered by the City Council.

Jan Jönsson (L) proposes a system that alerts authorities when a pupil is withdrawn from a school without being enrolled in another, as well as a block on such withdrawals. The City Executive Board proposes that the motion be considered answered, since Stockholm already has system support, absence procedures and blocks in municipal compulsory schools; the Social Services Committee meanwhile calls for a national system covering both municipal and independent schools.

Gabriel Kroon (SD) proposes that Stockholm use the city’s public advertising spaces for a campaign on how to recognize a stroke and quickly call 112. The City Executive Office and the City Executive Board propose that the motion be considered answered, since Region Stockholm has primary responsibility for health and medical care, but the city can assist through information channels such as libraries and citizen service offices if the region requests it.

Claes Nyberg and Kristin Jacobsson (Centre Party) propose that Stockholm introduce screening of students’ mental health as part of the regular health check-ups provided by student health services, and offer all students in Year 7 an initial individual meeting with a school counsellor. The City Executive Board proposes that the motion be considered answered, since students already have health visits in Years 1, 4 and 8 that include questions about mental health and can contact student health services or the school counsellor when needed.

Jonas Naddebo (C) proposes that Stockholm increase its use of green roofs and walls to help manage stormwater, reduce urban heat and strengthen biodiversity. The motion proposes that green roofs be considered as a starting point for new municipal construction, that suitable existing properties be identified and that property owners receive more guidance. The City Executive Board proposes that the motion be considered answered, since the city already uses a green space factor and believes each site should be assessed based on factors such as technology, cost, cultural heritage and the possibility of installing solar panels.

Svante Linusson and Jonas Naddebo (Centre Party) propose that Stockholm introduce an interactive map showing snow removal, gritting and salted street cleaning in real time, and share the information as open data via an API. The City Executive Board proposes that the motion be considered answered, as the city first needs to clarify responsibilities, data quality and ownership of the information, and investigate security, cost and work-environment issues.

Jan Jönsson (L) proposes an action plan for so-called “grey-zone children”—students who are not eligible for adapted schools but struggle to meet school goals because of their cognitive abilities. The plan would strengthen support in compulsory and upper-secondary schools and the transition between them; however, the City Executive Office and the Education Committee consider the city’s existing support, special-education services, and procedures to be continuously developing, and therefore propose that the motion be answered without creating a new action plan.

The City Executive Board proposes that the motion to widen Klarastrandsleden to three lanes, with a reversible middle lane and a possible parallel cycle path, be considered answered. The Traffic Office assesses that an additional lane would not solve the congestion, since bottlenecks would remain at places including Pampaslänken, Kungsbron and Centralbron, while widening approximately 1.3 kilometres would be very costly; the area is also planned for potential development with housing, services and green space.

The motion proposes that Stockholm introduce study-motivating work orientation (SAO jobs), in which mainly students in grades 8 or 9 receive paid work for about two hours a week over one year alongside their schooling. The proposal would replace 1,000 holiday jobs in 2026 with SAO jobs, but the City Executive Board proposes that the motion be considered answered, since the city is already planning to test the model at selected schools and several committees consider that such a conversion requires further planning.

Jan Jönsson (L) proposes that Stockholm investigate whether the number of school changes in upper secondary education can be limited, for example through fixed transfer periods and clearly defined exceptions. The City Executive Board proposes that the motion be answered without being approved, since there is no legal basis and any change would require an agreement between 26 municipalities and more than 100 independent education providers in the upper secondary school region.

Gabriel Kroon (SD) proposes that the Cultural Affairs Committee investigate whether City Hall’s façade could be used for large-scale projections, as during Nobel Week Lights, continuously from November to March. The City Executive Office and the Cultural Affairs Committee advise against a permanent solution because City Hall has significant cultural value and the projections would require major investment and an annual operating budget; the City Executive Board therefore proposes that the motion be considered answered.

Jan Jönsson, Björn Ljung and Elin Hjelmestam (the Liberals) propose that Stockholm develop a strategy for construction with lower climate impact, particularly using timber or other materials with at least equally good climate performance. The City Executive Board proposes that the motion be considered answered, as the city considers the Climate Action Plan 2030 and existing requirements to already provide a coordinated strategy; the city is working, among other things, on climate limits and more land allocations for cross-laminated timber buildings.

Jan Jönsson (L) proposes that Stockholm investigate advanced classes in the humanities, for example in philosophy, history, languages, rhetoric and literature, so that students with a particular interest can receive more advanced instruction. The City Executive Board proposes that the motion be considered answered without a separate inquiry; the City Executive Office and the Education Committee consider that the issue can be handled through the regular work on upper-secondary school provision. Currently, three municipal upper-secondary schools offer the humanities programme, and around 160 eligible students in the region list the programme as their first choice.
