At the beginning of the meeting, Provincial People's Council delegate Nguyen Manh Cuong informed voters about the expected content and agenda of the upcoming 8th session of the Provincial People's Council. Then, with a frank and responsible spirit, many voters expressed their thoughts, wishes and recommendations to relevant levels and sectors for handling.

The issue that Nghi Thuy ward voters are most concerned about is that in the ward there are currently many investment projects that have been "holding land" for many years and have not been implemented, which is a waste of land resources, loss of investment opportunities for other investors, and affects people's lives and spoils the urban beauty.

Voter Vo Quang Vinh (Block 2) cited the project to expand the road to Cua Lo port. Although the project had been inventoried and notified of relocation for 59 households in Block 1 and Block 2 since 2012, it has not been implemented since then.

Among these 59 households, there are those who want to repair or build new houses but cannot do so. The Provincial People's Council is requested to supervise and urge the investor to speed up the stable implementation of the project.

The Chairman of the Provincial People's Council also directly explained some specific contents. Regarding the slow-moving road upgrading project, the Chairman of the Provincial People's Council hoped that voters would share that during the period of implementing the Government's policy of cutting public investment and the province's infrastructure investment budget, the town was facing difficulties.

However, the province is also trying to create conditions for Cua Lo town by directing the Provincial People's Committee to advise and submit a separate mechanism for Cua Lo to have investment resources for development, including the road project.
