In the Politics and Influence section you can read about our political assemblies and the decision-making responsibilities of the municipal council. The committees' agendas and minutes are also published.
The municipal council (kommunfullmäktige) is the highest political body at municipal level. It functions as the local parliament while the municipal executive board (kommunstyrelse) has the role of local government.
The municipal council makes decisions in general policy issues such as budget goals. The executive board's task is to oversee and follow up these decisions. Documents from previous meetings are published on the website, see Municipal Council and Municipal Executive Board.
The municipal committees are political decision-making bodies for specific departmental concerns such as planning permission and detailed planning, schools and education, the environment and elderly care, etc.
Web TV and news summaries
Council meetings are broadcast live here on sodertalje.se and to provide a condensed summary of the executive board's decisions, we publish Snabbnytt från Ks directly after each meeting.
