City-wide

Jan Jönsson (L) has proposed that all schools in Stockholm be equipped with shower stalls, as many students feel unsafe in changing rooms, partly due to the risk of covert photography, leading them to avoid showering after sports. The City Executive Board suggests that the motion be responded to by noting that the Education Committee is already reviewing how to make showers and changing rooms safer, with shower stalls being one of the potential solutions under investigation.

The Liberals propose a strategy to keep rents for assembly halls, association premises, and community centers low and sustainable, arguing that high rents threaten civil society. However, the City Executive Board suggests rejecting the motion, citing ongoing work like an investigation into the Culture Committee acting as a primary tenant, and the city's inability to control rents from private landlords.

Councillor Nike Örbrink (KD) proposed establishing a long-distance shooting range for hunters and to strengthen preparedness, but the City Executive Board recommends rejecting the motion. This is due to the difficulty of finding a suitable site within the densely populated city, citing significant land requirements, safety distances, noise concerns, and conflicts with existing recreation and housing plans. Several administrations, including the City Management Office and Environment Department, concur, emphasizing the lack of large continuous areas and potential noise impact on surrounding areas.

A motion by Andrea Hedin (M) suggested Stockholm City LGBTQ+ certify home care services and collaborate with interest groups to improve treatment of LGBTQ+ individuals in elder care, citing reports of inadequate treatment and concerns among older LGBTQ+ individuals about not being themselves at home. However, the City Executive Board proposes dismissing the motion, stating the city already addresses these issues through training and a forthcoming action plan for LGBTQI+ rights.

Jonas Naddebo (C) proposed investigating floating football pitches in Stockholm, a concept generally viewed positively as a creative solution to sports ground shortages. However, several boards and companies highlighted significant challenges regarding cost, operation, safety, accessibility, and environmental impact. The City Executive Board now suggests the City Council reject a specific investigation, opting instead to address the proposal within the existing framework for sports facilities.

A motion by Jan Jönsson et al. (L) proposed that Stockholm City investigate ways to improve and simplify conditions for associations, aiming for the best associational climate in Sweden, specifically by mapping obstacles. The City Executive Board suggests responding by referring to ongoing and planned work, such as an associational policy for 2026. However, the Liberals reserve their opinion, wanting the motion approved with a clearer investigation.

Sergej Salnikov (SD) proposed a pilot project for a citizen budget, based on the SKR model, to give residents greater influence over municipal funds. However, the City Executive Board suggests rejecting the motion, noting the city already implements citizen budgeting and has completed 17 projects between 2023 and 2025.

Annika Elmlund and Christoffer Hökmark (M) have proposed the introduction of "safety kiosks" in Stockholm, drawing inspiration from Tokyo and Frankfurt, to create manned hubs for security guards and field assistants to enhance safety and collaboration. However, the City Executive Board suggests rejecting the motion, as several committees and administrations emphasize the benefits of mobile and flexible safety work over a general need for stationary kiosks.

Jan Jönsson (L) proposed that the City of Stockholm should facilitate political youth organizations' participation in schools, by developing clear guidelines and support materials and urging schools to actively invite these groups to promote democratic engagement. The City Executive Board suggests rejecting the motion, noting that support materials already exist and that the School Act designates principals as the decision-makers for allowing political organizations into schools.

Jan Jönsson (L) has proposed that Stockholm implement a system to detect abducted students. This system would trigger an alert if a student is deregistered from a school without being enrolled in a new one, and would prevent deregistration until new enrollment is confirmed. The City Executive Board suggests rejecting the motion, noting that the city already actively works to identify absent students and a national system is currently under investigation.

Liberal council members proposed Stockholm expand its summer pedestrian streets and squares, ensuring public transport access and resident/business dialogue. The City Executive Board suggests rejecting the motion, as the city is already continuously adding summer pedestrian streets (9 new ones by summer 2026, totaling 64 locations), and already works to ensure public transport accessibility and dialogue with affected parties.

Gabriel Kroon (SD) proposed that the Traffic Committee be tasked with creating an information campaign about stroke using the city's public advertising spaces, in collaboration with other relevant committees, citing positive results from a similar campaign in Kalmar County. However, the City Executive Board suggests rejecting the motion, stating that healthcare is primarily the responsibility of the regions, although the city could assist with information channels if requested by Region Stockholm.

Claes Nyberg and Kristin Jacobsson (Center Party) proposed a mental health screening program in Stockholm's compulsory schools, offering all 7th-grade students a mandatory meeting with a school counselor to detect and support early mental ill-health. The City Executive Board recommends rejecting the motion, citing existing preventative work by school health services, but Jonas Naddebo (C) dissents, arguing current routines are insufficient.

Jonas Naddebo (C) has proposed to the city council that Stockholm should more actively promote green roofs, suggesting they become standard for new city-built properties, existing city properties be inventoried for installation, and a strategy be developed to assist private owners. However, the City Executive Board recommends rejecting the motion for green roofs as a default, arguing that sustainable urban development measures should instead be chosen based on a comprehensive assessment of each site's specific conditions.

Center Party members proposed that Stockholm City introduce interactive, real-time snow removal maps with open API access to help residents plan winter travel and improve safety for pedestrians and cyclists. The City Executive Board suggests rejecting the motion as it stands, citing concerns about data ownership, quality, and potential impacts on snowplow operators' work environment.

Councilors Claes Nyberg and Ismail Ali (C) proposed investigating the need for a language school for F-3 students with severe language disorders, aiming to improve their primary school readiness and provide continuity after language preschool, with speech therapists working alongside teachers. However, the Executive Board suggests rejecting this proposal, stating that existing schools already offer adequate support, making a new municipal language school unnecessary.

Jan Jönsson (L) proposed Stockholm implement an action plan for "grey zone children"—students with cognitive difficulties who struggle to meet school goals but don't qualify for adapted schooling. He argued that these students receive good support in compulsory school but often lack it in upper secondary school, leading to dropouts and social exclusion. The City Executive Board suggests responding to the motion by referencing the city's existing, structured, and continuously developing work for students requiring special support, deeming a separate action plan unnecessary.

Councilor Andréa Hedin (M) proposed that Stockholm introduce "SAO jobs" (study-motivating work-life orientation), a new year-long employment model for secondary school students combining school with work experience, to be funded by replacing 1,000 summer jobs in 2026. The City Executive Board, however, recommends rejecting the reduction of summer jobs, stating that SAO jobs will already be piloted in 2026 and cater to a different target group than summer jobs.

Jan Jönsson (L) has proposed that the city investigate ways to limit high school transfers, arguing that frequent changes during the semester create student anxiety, disrupt their studies, and complicate school planning. However, the City Executive Board suggests rejecting the motion by stating there's no legal basis for such restrictions, and the matter should instead be addressed by the government.

The Liberals have proposed that the City of Stockholm develop a strategy to promote sustainable construction, with a focus on wood and other low-impact materials, and review its land allocation policy to prioritize such projects. However, the City Executive Board suggests rejecting the motion, stating that the existing climate action plan and environmental program already provide a comprehensive strategy to reduce the construction sector's climate impact, and further documents could create confusion.
