Mayor Park Seung-won of Gwangmyeong, "I will continue field-centered city administration without wavering"

[Suwon Ilbo=Reporter Yu Je-sung] Mayor Park Seung-won of Gwangmyeong is continuing his field communication initiatives to find answers alongside citizens.

Mayor Park held the fifth 'Our Neighborhood Mayor's Office' this year in Gwangmyeong District 6 on the 17th and directly inspected residential living conditions.

On that day, Mayor Park visited sites in four sectors—educational environment, living SOC, welfare, and resident autonomy—in sequence, listening to residents' candid opinions.

He first attended a parent meeting at Gwangil Elementary School. Parents conveyed various requests from the school site, including replacement of aging broadcast equipment, installation of emergency broadcast facilities, enhanced school commute safety management, and increased cleaning personnel.

In response, Mayor Park said, "Children's safety takes priority over any policy," and promised, "I will work in cooperation with the Office of Education to promptly implement necessary measures such as replacing aging equipment and deploying safety personnel on school routes."

He then visited the Our Children's Park improvement project site to meticulously check the construction progress. Mayor Park instructed relevant departments to ensure thorough safety management and quality assurance throughout the construction process, prioritizing citizen safety.

The park project is underway to completely replace restrooms, outdoor stages, and exercise equipment, with completion scheduled for March next year.

He also visited the site of the 'Mokgam Stream Retaining Wall Mural Renovation' project being promoted by the resident autonomy committee. This project is a resident participation initiative where residents directly paint new murals.

Mayor Park stated, "Resident participation changes the appearance of neighborhoods and creates community pride," expressing his commitment to actively support resident-led autonomous activities.

As his final schedule, he participated in a 'Traditional Soybean Paste Cake Making' event with the local social security deliberative body, adding care for neighbors. The soybean paste cakes made that day will be fermented and delivered as soybean paste to low-income families in March next year.

Mayor Park said, "The resident opinions I heard at today's site are important assets that drive city administration and the starting point for policy-making. I will continue field-centered city administration without wavering, continuing to find answers by going into the community."

Meanwhile, the next 'Our Neighborhood Mayor's Office' is scheduled to be held in Iljik-dong on December 4th.
