In particular, many voters' opinions raised the need to resolutely recover suspended projects and slow-progressing projects that waste land resources and create negative public opinion; at the same time, infrastructure projects in the area should be implemented thoroughly to avoid prolongation.

Mr. Nguyen Van Nhac, Vinh Tan ward (Vinh city) requested to inform about the progress of Le Mao road project because it has not been completed yet.

Mr. Nhac also raised concerns in managing apartment buildings. Even though residents have been living there for a long time, the project has not been handed over and a management board has not been established, so there are many problems in operating the building.

Regarding this issue, Mr. Phan Trong Nguyen, Trung Do ward (Vinh city) requested to be informed about the handling of the Thong bridge market project which has not been implemented for nearly 20 years, affecting people's lives and not ensuring environmental hygiene.

In addition, voters in the area are also interested in other issues such as whether the Vinh Temple of Literature project will still be implemented or not, because currently, due to planning, it affects the lives of people in the area.

Voters also paid much attention to the field of education, especially the issue of school violence, thereby proposing solutions to ensure student safety; at the same time, it is necessary to completely resolve the situation of constantly changing textbooks, causing waste of people's money and difficulties for teachers and students.

Voter Pham Thi Thu, Trung Do ward (Vinh city) raised concerns about teachers' salaries, as well as suggested that a mechanism is needed to ensure cooking positions for students in kindergartens.

Voters also suggested that it is necessary to soon issue a salary policy, as the current salaries of ward and commune officials and civil servants are still too low; consider raising the salary allowance regime for part-time workers at ward and commune levels; blocks and hamlets to ensure the maintenance and good performance of tasks at the grassroots level.

At the same time, voters of 3 wards: Hong Son, Vinh Tan and Trung Do proposed to continue to resolutely direct administrative reform, reduce procedures, reduce processing time, and simplify administrative procedures synchronously from the central to grassroots levels, at all levels, sectors, agencies and units.

On the other hand, voters also requested the Government to direct the Ministry of Public Security, relevant ministries, branches and local authorities to take resolute and timely measures to combat and suppress all types of crimes, ensure social order and safety, especially crimes of murder, robbery, buying, selling, storing, transporting and using drugs which are still complicated.

Voters and people are concerned and worried about unsafe incidents: fires, explosions, traffic accidents, food safety; natural disasters, storms, floods, epidemics and unusual incidents that have occurred in recent times, killing many people; measures, means and resources to carry out rescue, prevent and combat accidents and risks have not met practical requirements. The Government is requested to direct ministries, branches and localities to pay attention.
