Yeong-tong Ward Joint Crackdown on Illegal Advertisements

Yeong-tong Ward (Ward Chief Choi Hee-soon) announced on the 8th that it has conducted a joint crackdown on illegal advertisements to create a bright and healthy social atmosphere and eradicate the four major evils (sexual violence, domestic violence, school violence, and substandard food products), as various illegal activities have been prevalent in commercial areas with the arrival of spring.

The joint crackdown brought together approximately 30 personnel from related agencies including ward staff, the Korea Agent Orange Veterans Association Suwon Chapter, the Suwon Advertising Association, and the Southern Police Station to form a special enforcement team. The operation focused intensive crackdowns on sites where citizens had filed complaints.

During the crackdown, approximately 40 banners, 8 standing signs, and 20 air lights were removed. For illegal advertisements, enforcement was conducted by issuing warnings and encouraging voluntary cleanup, while administrative measures were taken against habitual and chronic illegal activities.

A ward official stated, "We will continue to conduct consistent cleanup and enforcement operations with the firm resolve to eradicate illegal activities in major commercial areas and densely populated commercial zones, and work toward creating a clean and pleasant urban environment and building a human-centered Suwon where people are welcomed."
