Mayor Lee Jae-jun Operates Third 'On-Site Mayor's Office Tour'

[Suwon Ilbo=Reporter Jung Jun-sung] Mayor Lee Jae-jun of Suwon Special City operated the third 'On-Site Mayor's Office Tour' on the 7th.

The 'On-Site Mayor's Office Tour' involves the mayor and senior civil servants traveling by bus to directly visit areas with major issues or where residents face inconvenience to conduct field-based administration.

On site, they engage in dialogue with citizens and related parties about current issues and seek ways to improve citizen inconveniences. Complaints are handled on the principle of 'immediate resolution,' and matters requiring time are disclosed with updates on complaint processing progress and results.

That morning, Mayor Lee first visited a banjibang area in Guocheon-dong, Paldal-gu for a 'Special Winter Preparedness Safety Inspection.'

The mayor visited a household, greeted an elderly resident, and inquired about their well-being. The banjibang area had small rooms less than 10 square meters packed closely together, with a total of 8 residents living in 6 households.

After conversing with the residents, Mayor Lee Jae-jun said, "The weather has gotten cold, and I came to check how you're doing in this cold," and urged them, "Please don't hesitate to contact the Haenggung-dong Administrative Welfare Center right away if anything comes up."

Haenggung-dong staff regularly visit the banjibang area to check on residents' well-being and provide food support including rice, kimchi, and ramen. In August this year, they provided support for wallpapering and flooring repairs for households damaged by heavy rain. In 2020, Suwon Fire Station South installed fire extinguishers and smoke detectors.

After completing the inspection of the banjibang area, Mayor Lee proceeded to the Paldal-gu snow removal materials warehouse in Hwaseo-dong to inspect snow removal equipment and secured quantities of snow removal materials.

Mayor Lee Jae-jun told the staff operating snow removal vehicles, "There is much nighttime snow removal work, so please be mindful of safety," and said, "When it snows, I appreciate all of you working on the frontlines for the safety of our citizens."

The final visit was to the forest fire observation post at Gwanggyo Rest Area (Hagang-gyo-dong). The mayor inspected the forest fire response system and encouraged forest fire workers.

Mayor Lee Jae-jun said, "Prepare without any gaps to prevent forest fires from occurring in winter, and if a forest fire breaks out, the Parks and Greenery Project Division should take the lead and respond in a unified manner." He further emphasized, "Forest fire response staff should familiarize themselves well with forest fire response manuals beforehand so that they can respond promptly when situations arise."

Meanwhile, on November 23rd of last month, Mayor Lee operated the first 'On-Site Mayor's Office Tour' at Suwon World Cup Stadium, where a 'Korea National Team Match Support Event for the 2022 Qatar World Cup' was held, and inspected safety measures. Additionally, on November 28th, he opened the second on-site mayor's office at the new construction site of Paldal Police Station in Jidong, Paldal-gu and at a cultural heritage preservation area restoration and maintenance project site.
