VOTE for A LOCAL PARTY IN THE MUNICIPAL ELECTION!

Many significant political decisions are taken at the municipal level where the local authorities have responsibility for: the quality and extent of child care, the schools, the care of the elderly, street cleaning, park maintenance, planning for housing and streets and, of course, determination of the amount of municipal taxes. That so many and such important aspects of our everyday life is decided at municipal level is easy to forget if you listen to the large, national political parties in their election campaigns. Make a real stand for Stockholm in the municipal election!

Stockholmspariet was founded in 1979 as a protest movement against the demolition of historical/cultural buildings, against increased car traffic in the city, against the "standard solutions" of the establishment and against the lack of local democratic involvement. Since then Stockholmspartiet has played an important and influential role in the political life of the city.

Stockholmspartiet is small but, in spite of this, has been successful with its political program. Only during the last seven years we have succeeded in ensuring
--that several thousand apartments were built in the city

--that bicycle paths were established on the majority of the city's major streets
--that the oil transportation at Loudden is being terminated
--that Årstafältet became a county park
--that street cleaning "experts" were established for all parts of the city
--that the mountain railway in Skärholmen was completed
--that residence in boats along the city's docks is allowed
--that the parking garage Elefanten was torn down and replaced with apartments
--that Nynäsvägen will be routed into a tunnel in Gamla Enskede
