Annika Elmlund and Christoffer Hökmark (M) propose establishing "safety kiosks" in Stockholm, inspired by satellite police stations in Tokyo and Frankfurt, to create manned hubs for security guards, field assistants, and other safety professionals, aiming to boost local security and make it easier for residents to seek help. However, the City Executive Board suggests rejecting the motion, stating that existing collaborative models and mobile initiatives already function well, and there is no general need for stationary safety kiosks.

Agenda items
Councillor Jan Jönsson (L) proposed that the City of Stockholm make it easier for political youth organizations to visit schools by developing guidelines and support materials, encouraging invitations, and ensuring safety. The City Executive Board suggests rejecting the motion, noting that support materials already exist and principals are responsible for deciding which political organizations can visit their schools according to the Education Act.
Jan Jönsson (L) has proposed implementing a data system in Stockholm that would alert if a student is withdrawn from a school without being enrolled in a new one, along with a block preventing withdrawal until a new school is registered. This aims to detect and prevent children from being abducted or subjected to honor-related oppression. The City Executive Board suggests responding to the motion by stating that the city is already actively addressing these issues and that a national system would be more effective.
Liberal Party members have proposed increasing Stockholm's summer pedestrian streets and squares, ensuring public transport accessibility, and engaging with residents and businesses during planning. The City Executive Board suggests responding by noting the city already expands these spaces, with dialogue and public transport considerations integrated into the process. For instance, 9 new locations are planned for summer 2026, bringing the total to 64.
Gabriel Kroon (SD) proposed that the City of Stockholm develop a stroke awareness campaign for public advertising spaces, to educate people on how to recognize and respond to stroke. The City Executive Board suggests responding by noting that Region Stockholm is primarily responsible for healthcare, but the city can offer its communication channels if the region requests assistance.
Center Party representatives Claes Nyberg and Kristin Jacobsson proposed a program to detect mental illness in children and young people within compulsory school, specifically through mandatory discussions with school counselors for seventh graders during regular health check-ups. However, the City Executive Board suggests rejecting this motion, citing ongoing work within student health services that already addresses its aims.
Jonas Naddebo (C) proposed a motion to increase the city's work with green roofs, making them standard for new city-built constructions, inventorying municipal properties for installations, and developing a strategy to support property owners. However, the City Executive Board suggests rejecting the motion, stating that the city already addresses similar issues and emphasizes a holistic view of sustainable solutions rather than singling out green roofs as a universal fix.
Center Party members propose that the City of Stockholm introduce interactive real-time maps showing ongoing snow removal efforts, with this information also made available as open data via an API. This aims to help residents, especially pedestrians, cyclists, the elderly, and those with disabilities, plan safer winter routes. However, the City Executive Board suggests that the motion be addressed by referring to the statement, which cites concerns about information ownership, the work environment for snow removal staff, and the need to first investigate and clarify overall snow removal responsibilities.
Claes Nyberg and Ismail Ali (both Centre Party) proposed that the City of Stockholm investigate establishing a language school for students in grades F-3 with severe language disorders, building on existing language preschools with tailored pedagogy and speech therapy support. However, the City Executive Board suggests rejecting the motion, deeming current support measures, such as a language disorder competence hub and staff training, sufficient within regular school operations.
Jan Jönsson (L) proposed Stockholm create an action plan to support "grey-zone children" – students who don't qualify for adapted schooling but struggle in compulsory and upper secondary school due to cognitive abilities, risking dropping out. However, the City Executive Board suggests rejecting the motion, stating that the city already has structured support for students with special needs and deems a new action plan unnecessary.
Leif Söderström (SD) has proposed widening Klarastrandsleden to three lanes, including a reversible middle lane, to alleviate congestion and improve traffic flow. However, the City Executive Board suggests rejecting this motion, as the red-green majority disagrees that more car lanes are the solution to congestion, and the traffic administration believes an extra lane would not significantly improve accessibility.
Councillor Andréa Hedin (M) proposed replacing 1,000 summer jobs in 2026 with year-long "SAO jobs" for secondary school students, combining study with work to provide more long-term experience. The City Executive Board recommends addressing the motion by noting that pilot SAO jobs are already budgeted, but advises against reducing summer jobs, as SAO jobs and summer jobs serve different target groups and purposes.
Jan Jönsson (L) proposed that the city investigate ways to limit the number of gymnasium school changes during the academic year, arguing that frequent, vaguely-motivated transfers disrupt order, reduce study calm, and complicate school planning. However, the City Executive Board suggests rejecting the motion due to a lack of legal basis for such restrictions and the difficulty of reaching a voluntary agreement with regional municipalities and independent schools.
The Liberals have submitted a motion to the municipal council proposing that the City of Stockholm develop a strategy to promote sustainable construction, with a focus on wood and other low-impact materials, and that the city's land allocation policy be revised to prioritize such projects. However, the City Executive Board suggests rejecting the motion, stating that the existing Climate Action Plan 2030 and Environmental Program 2030 already provide a comprehensive strategy, and a new one risks creating confusion.
Jan Jönsson (L) has proposed that the City of Stockholm investigate introducing advanced humanities classes in upper secondary schools, citing a lack of such specialization compared to existing options in math, science, and social sciences. However, the City Executive Board suggests this exploration can occur within their regular work on school offerings, deeming a separate investigation unnecessary.
Jan Jönsson (L) has proposed that the city amend its agreement with Skolfastigheter i Stockholm AB (SISAB) to make SISAB responsible for school work environment and safety measures like entry systems, ventilation, and soundproofing, as schools currently often bear these costs themselves, potentially creating safety disparities. The City Executive Board, however, recommends addressing the motion by referencing ongoing access system investigations but rejects a general transfer of all such costs, citing the risk of increased school rents.
The Liberals (L), represented by Jan Jönsson and Anne-Lie Elfvén, proposed that the City of Stockholm develop an action plan for a "District Lift" in all vulnerable areas, including Järva, Skärholmen, and Hagsätra-Rågsved, with concrete goals for all involved committees and companies to counteract segregation and criminality. However, the City Executive Board suggests rejecting the motion, asserting that the city's current work on focus areas already addresses these issues effectively through the budget and existing structures.
Destiny Zandi Lindgren (KD) has proposed that the City investigate using school music rooms as rehearsal spaces after school hours, given Stockholm's shortage of such venues. The City Executive Board suggests responding that work is already underway, led by an inter-departmental steering group, to make school premises, including music rooms, available to associations and cultural life after school hours, clarifying rules around responsibility, equipment, and costs.
A motion from Lovisa Hedin (KD) proposed that Stockholm develop a specific strategy for villa and row house areas to identify suitable areas for small house development and preserve their unique character. However, the City Executive Board suggests that the motion be addressed by referring to similar intentions already handled within ongoing comprehensive planning and existing steering documents, and because the City Management Office, the Exploitation Committee, and the City Planning Committee do not see the need for a separate strategy.
Councillor Andréa Hedin (M) proposed that students in early primary school should not take digital devices home, that teaching and homework should primarily use books and pens, and that the city should develop common guidelines for digital tools in schools. The City Executive Board suggests that the motion be answered but not approved, citing concerns that a ban could disadvantage students with special needs and those lacking digital tools at home. The City Management Office and the Education Committee believe a general ban is unsuitable as digital tools can promote learning and accessibility.
