(Baonghean.vn) - With the contribution of veterans and women's association, a street with hundreds of bougainvillea pots was formed in Phuong Hoang block, Trung Do ward, Vinh city. And moreover, this street is always clean, no waste.

The Old Train Road, about 300 m long, in the territory of Phuong Hoang block, Trung Do ward (Vinh city), previously had many messy and haphazard garbage dumps, not only causing environmental pollution but also spoiling the urban beauty, affecting the appearance of the block. Therefore, when Phuong Hoang block promoted the work of building a clean and green environment, this route was chosen as a reference road.

However, turning it into a flower road is not easy and must be done step by step. At the end of 2019, the Women's Union and the Veterans' Union of the bloc went to the households living along this road, propagating about not littering, classifying and collecting garbage in the right place. After that, with socialized resources, the bloc invested over 20 million VND to install about 100 bougainvillea pots, stretching along the entire road.

Each flower pot is placed 3 meters apart on average. Every day, members of the Women's Union take turns caring for and watering the plants to keep them green and healthy.

Mr. Duong Trong Dong, Head of the Phoenix Veterans Association, said: "Since the construction of this bougainvillea street, the appearance of the street has changed significantly, becoming cleaner and fresher. In addition, spontaneous garbage dumps on the street have gradually disappeared as people have proactively brought their garbage to the collection site in the Black Bridge area for sanitation workers to clean up...".

Along with the construction of the flower street, the block also mobilized everyone to increase daily cleaning. On weekends, the block implemented "Green Sunday" so that all 300 households of the block had to sweep, plant trees, beautify the streets... And the special thing is that everyone participated enthusiastically and excitedly.

It is known that in the near future, Phuong Hoang block will continue to build a flower road on Tran Canh Binh, running around Quyet mountain, promising to create a beautiful and fresh destination for Vinh city residents.

For Phuong Hoang Street, the main road of the block and Trung Do ward, it is expected that mobile trash bins will be installed using socialized resources to prevent people from littering and polluting the environment.
