Park Seung-won, Mayor 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 activities to find answers by the side of citizens.

On the 17th, Mayor Park held the fifth 'Our Neighborhood Mayor's Office' of this year in Gwangmyeong District 6 and directly inspected residents' living sites.

On that day, Mayor Park visited sites in four sectors—educational environment, living SOC, welfare, and community autonomy—in succession while hearing fresh opinions from residents.

His first schedule was attending a parent meeting at Gwangil Elementary School. Parents conveyed various demands from the school site, including replacement of aging broadcasting equipment, installation of emergency broadcast facilities, strengthening of school commute safety management, and expansion of cleaning personnel.

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

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

The park project is currently underway to replace bathrooms, outdoor stages, and exercise equipment in full, with completion scheduled for March of next year.

He also visited the 'Mokgan Stream retaining wall mural maintenance' project site being promoted by the residents' autonomy association. This project is a community participation initiative where residents directly paint new murals.

Mayor Park stated, "Residents' participation changes the face of the neighborhood and creates regional pride," expressing his commitment to actively support resident-led autonomy activities.

For his final schedule, he participated in the 'traditional soybean paste making' event held with the local social security council, adding sincerity to consideration for neighbors. The soybean paste made on that day will be fermented and delivered to low-income households as soybean paste in March of next year.

Mayor Park said, "The residents' opinions I heard at today's site are important assets that drive city administration and the starting point of policy," adding, "I will continue to pursue field-centered city administration without wavering, entering the hearts of citizens to find answers."

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