City-wide

Council member Jan Jönsson (L) proposed an eco-bonus for companies using sea transport instead of trucks, advocating for reduced fairway fees for eco-friendly shipping and temporary harbor fee reductions in Norvikshamnen to shift freight from road to sea. However, the City Executive Board suggests rejecting the proposal, citing ongoing work and advising against general harbor fee reductions which would negatively impact Stockholm Hamn AB's business operations.

The motion proposes that the Education Administration investigate the possibility of introducing "evening open school" or "evening hangouts" for students, aiming to create safe and free meeting places, particularly in underserved areas, and explore collaborations with civil society. While several referral bodies, including the City Executive Office and the Education Committee, agree on the importance of meaningful leisure, they advise against an investigation given that similar initiatives are already in place.

Claes Nyberg (C) proposed that the Education Administration investigate offering evening hangouts for students, particularly in areas lacking safe meeting places, and that the city explore civil society collaboration. The City Executive Board suggests rejecting an investigation, citing existing youth centers and school facility access for associations, though Moderaterna and Centerpartiet disagree, advocating for the inquiry to find new ways to engage more children and youth.

Councillor Jonas Naddebo (Centre Party) proposed that all football pitches in Stockholm should have toilet access, with larger facilities also including changing rooms, to foster a safer and more equal sporting environment, especially for girls. While several departments and sports clubs support this goal, noting that work is already underway to add these amenities and explore shared use of school facilities, the City Executive Board suggests responding by referencing this ongoing work. The opposition, however, wants the motion fully approved and a needs assessment conducted.

Jan Jönsson and André Nilsson (both Liberals) proposed that Stockholm investigate opening the Stockholmshusen model to more actors, including private developers, to increase construction speed and lower costs. However, the City Executive Board suggests responding to the motion by pointing out that the model has already been opened to increased competition via a dynamic purchasing system since 2021, which has raised the number of qualified contractors from three to twelve.

Sara Svanström (L) proposes that Stockholm map dangerous pedestrian crossings, prioritize them, and implement measures to enhance safety for pedestrians, especially children, the elderly, and people with disabilities, such as improved lighting, clearer markings, and raised crossings. The City Executive Board suggests responding to the motion by referencing the Traffic Committee's ongoing work on similar issues, but the Liberals reserve their position, believing the work needs to be intensified and more clearly prioritized.

Jan Jönsson and Sara Svanström (L) proposed Stockholm develop a digital map function to facilitate commercial deliveries by providing businesses and transporters with real-time information on loading zones, roadworks, and traffic disruptions. The City Executive Board suggested the motion be addressed by referring to existing platforms and strategies, but Jan Jönsson (L) entered a reservation, arguing that the city's current solutions do not meet the retail sector's need for comprehensive real-time information.

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.
