Other Examples
Other smaller municipalities in Sweden also use municipal subdivisions for official purposes, however these are not always administrative. For example Strängnäs Municipality uses district councils (kommundelsråd) which serve a purely advisory function and have no administrative power.
Borås Municipality is divided into ten districts (kommundelar), each with a district council (kommundelsnnämd) responsible for pre-school and primary school, recreational services, and services for the elderly.
Torshälla is a region inside Eskilstuna Municipality which has withheld a degree of autonomy since merging with Eskilstuna, including their own city council (Torshälla stads nämd).
Other municipalities that use districts for advisory or administrative purposes include Huddinge, Kalmar, Köping, Södertälje, Umeå and Västerås.
