Yeongtong-gu Gwanggyo-dong Operates On-site Mayor's Office

Gwanggyo-dong in Yeongtong-gu (Dong Chief Kwon Chan-ho) operated a "visiting on-site mayor's office" on the 3rd with Mayor Yum Tae-young and local residents of Gwanggyo-dong.

The on-site mayor's office is being operated to practice "woojoouhaeng" (meeting the owner on the street), which was Suwon City's main theme for 2013, and is emphasizing the importance of field administration. Mayor Yum visits community centers to listen to residents' complaints and visits the sites with relevant department officials.

At the Gwanggyo-dong Community Center's on-site mayor's office, Mayor Yum and Gwanggyo-dong residents engaged in dialogue for nearly four hours regarding civil complaints related to water supply, small libraries, Gwanggyo New City development projects, and transportation. Subsequently, Mayor Yum visited a walking path in the Yeocheon section where residents feel uneasy using an underground passage due to dim lighting, and sought improvement measures.

Mayor Yum Tae-young said on the day, "Going forward, I will frequently create opportunities to engage in dialogue with local residents about regional issues, build trust with residents, and make efforts to resolve problems in a positive direction."
