Establishing Substantive Communication with Residents in Each Administrative District

Candidate Lee Chul-seung (41, New Political Democratic Union) has officially declared his candidacy in the June 4 local elections for Suwon City Council (secondary district: Seohdun-dong (Tap-dong), Maegyo-dong, Maesan-dong, Godeung-dong, Hwaseo 1st and 2nd Districts).

Regarding the 9th Suwon City Council, the candidate evaluated: "While it is worthy of positive assessment that Suwon City Council experiences less discord from factional interests compared to other local governments, there is a lack of substantive communication with residents to address local issues."

Regarding local issues, he proposed common pledges across administrative districts: renovation of neglected narrow alleyways, additional installation of crime prevention lights and CCTV cameras, and improvements to school educational environments and elderly community centers.

Furthermore, as detailed pledges by administrative district, for the Seohdun and Tap-dong areas, he proposed: ▲reducing the compensation standard from 85 Wecels (aircraft noise standard unit) to 81 Wecels ahead of the second compensation for airport noise, promoting compensation to more than double the resident population ▲relocating the Seohdun-dong Resident Service Center to Seoul National University of Agriculture and Fisheries campus site and establishing an elderly cultural space at the current center site ▲formulating plans for local economic revitalization.

For Hwaseo 1st and 2nd Districts: ▲efforts to address residential environment improvement and safety issues in detached houses and multi-unit residential areas ▲implementation of community culture restoration projects in apartment complex areas ▲expanding high-definition CCTV and establishing plans to increase utilization. For Godeung-dong: ▲provision of resident welfare facilities (elderly community centers, childcare facilities, cultural and sports facilities) in redevelopment areas ▲promotion of demolition of cluster housing and establishment of specialized China Town streetscape.

For Maegyo and Maesan Districts, he proposed: ▲residential environment improvement ▲supporting Lotte Mall's dedication funds to Suwon as funding for Maesan Market revitalization.
