Agenda items
The Swedish Environmental Protection Agency proposes new compensation rules for municipalities’ collection of packaging waste, so that payments better reflect costs and are adapted to collection systems being introduced in 2027. The City of Stockholm is proposed to respond to the consultation and welcomes several changes, but believes the proposal should take greater account of costs and practical challenges in densely populated urban areas; the proposed model would increase municipalities’ compensation and producers’ costs by around SEK 7.1 million a year nationally.
The Traffic Committee proposes combining the city’s seven programmes for maintaining and renewing streets, bridges, lighting, traffic signals, trees and other public infrastructure into one programme for 2027–2031. The programme would include investments of SEK 4 billion, with spending increasing over the period, to address the maintenance backlog and reduce the risk of more costly repairs; the work may temporarily affect residents, businesses and road users.
Jan Jönsson and Anne-Lie Elfvén (L) propose that the City of Stockholm investigate a compensation scheme for people who suffered abuse or serious neglect as children in public care, including after 1980. The City proposes that the motion be considered answered, since compensation should, in its view, be investigated and handled at national level; the presenting deputy mayor believes a new government inquiry should cover the period after 1980.
A proposal to begin implementing a national digital infrastructure for health data will be considered. The matter will become public after the mayor’s office committee has considered it on 7 October 2026.
The matter concerns new online offences and other proposals to implement the EU directive on combating violence against women and domestic violence. The supporting documents will be made public after consideration by the mayoral council on 7 October 2026.
Jan Jönsson and Anne-Lie Elfvén (L) propose that the city investigate whether a method similar to the Netherlands’ Online Outreach could be used to detect sexual exploitation online and offer support earlier. Stockholm already conducts online outreach, but the social services administration sees a need to develop this work and believes cooperation may need to take place at regional or national level; the City Executive Board proposes that the motion be considered answered.
The Ministry of Social Affairs proposes a new law allowing the Swedish Social Insurance Agency to collect and use information to monitor rehabilitation initiatives funded by coordination associations. The City of Stockholm proposes a positive response to the referral, but wants clarification on what information municipalities and regions must provide and how. The law is proposed to take effect on 1 July 2027, and personal data must be protected.
The City Planning Committee and the Cultural Affairs Committee propose joint guidance on how the city should take account of buildings, places and areas of cultural heritage value when reviewing plans and building permit applications. It will apply during the transition period until a new comprehensive plan is expected to be adopted in 2028 and the city’s heritage map is complete, and will give residents and property owners clearer information about the rules.
The matter concerns rules for the climate impact of buildings over their entire life cycle and threshold values for that impact. The contents will become public after consideration by the Committee on Councillor Matters on 7 October 2026.
The Executive Board’s interim report for January–August 2026 will be considered and sets out the city’s goals, operations and finances. The Board considers that its work is helping the city meet its goals for the year and forecasts a surplus of SEK 76 million; it proposes that the report be approved and submitted to the city’s auditors.
The matter concerns an acting data protection officer for the City Executive Board. The contents will become public after consideration by the mayor’s office on 7 October 2026 and will be published no later than with the minutes.
The matter concerns a memorandum on value-added tax (VAT) on the rental and transfer of real property. Its contents will become public after consideration by the Council of Mayors on 7 October 2026 and will be published no later than with the minutes.
The City of Stockholm proposes responding to the consultation on municipalities’ ability to accommodate major business investments with the city’s statement. The city generally supports the proposals, but calls for long-term national government funding, clearer responsibilities among the national, regional and municipal levels, and greater focus on skills supply, electricity supply and Sweden’s competitiveness.
The government proposes allowing municipalities and regions to fund more departures or new air routes where scheduled air services cannot operate commercially. Stockholm proposes responding to the consultation that the city sees no need to fund more domestic flights itself, while several political representatives want to welcome the opportunity for other municipalities and regions.
The City Council will consider reports on how Stockholm’s eight political parties used municipal party funding in 2025, along with audit certificates. One party submitted its report after the June 30 deadline, and the proposal is to note that all reports have been received; next year’s party funding will be decided in a separate budget matter.
The motion proposes that preschools, schools and eldercare services always offer at least one complete meal option with meat, poultry or fish. The City Executive Board proposes that the motion be considered answered, since the city’s services are already required to serve nutritious and varied food, and the committees do not consider a general requirement of this kind necessary.
Leif Söderström (SD) proposes that the City of Stockholm tighten its rules for association grants, review associations that have joined “Apartheid-Free Zones,” and reclaim grants from organisations deemed to discriminate against or exclude people. The City Executive Office and the Culture Committee consider the current democratic conditions sufficient and say that peaceful boycotts and expressions of opinion are permitted; the City Executive Board therefore proposes that the motion be answered with reference to the statement.
The report lists new matters and minutes received by the City of Stockholm between 10 and 23 September 2026. They concern, among other things, housing affordability, extending the Roslagsbanan railway into the city centre, cycling, recycling, financial assistance and workplace injuries; the report includes no minutes for the latter period.
Region Stockholm proposes extending the Roslagsbanan rail line underground from Universitetet via Odenplan to T-Centralen. The extension is intended to shorten journeys from the northeast and ease crowding on the metro’s red line. A consultation is now under way on the railway’s design, new detailed development plans and environmental impacts; construction could cause noise, increased traffic and affect groundwater. Comments can be submitted by 12 October 2026.
