The project to expand Kim Dong Street through Yen Binh Block, Hung Phuc Ward (Vinh City) was reported by Nghe An Newspaper in a number of articles: "When will the "bottleneck" section of Kim Dong Street be opened?" (May 15, 2023); "Reviewing land funds and arranging resettlement for the Kim Dong Street expansion project" (May 21, 2023)...
By July 2023, some households in Yen Binh block, Hung Phuc ward (in the area of land clearance for the Kim Dong road expansion project) still had concerns and wrote petitions. We (PV) learned about the settlement results of Hung Phuc ward People's Committee and Vinh city People's Committee.
According to Mr. Nguyen Trong Van - Secretary of the Yen Binh Block Party Cell, the petitions of households related to the project have been fully answered by the Vinh City People's Committee, and this is an old story. Furthermore, the City Land Fund Development Center has coordinated with the Ward People's Committee to organize meetings with households to disseminate policies, compensation, support, and resettlement for site clearance for the Kim Dong Street expansion project.
Mr. Nguyen Trong Van excitedly said: “The households involved all highly agree with the policy of implementing the Kim Dong Street expansion project, hoping for a quick site clearance progress as well as project implementation progress. Only one household has a house facing Herman Gmeiner Street, although agreeing with the policy, suggested that the scale of road surface expansion should be reviewed to be appropriate. However, the City Land Fund Development Center has clearly explained, and has collected opinions from each household, and made a very specific record…”.
According to Mr. Nguyen Trong Thien - Vice Chairman of Hung Phuc Ward People's Committee, the meeting of households related to the Kim Dong road expansion project was held on November 17, 2023; the spirit is "basically stable". People are only concerned that the resettlement site has not yet had a specific decision from the competent authority and about the compensation price. "Currently, the ward is also waiting for the superior to officially decide on the resettlement location for the related households. Regarding the compensation price, the ward's viewpoint is to ensure the rights of the people, the price development must ensure democracy, fairness, publicity, and transparency; must be put first. The ward also participates in researching and proposing prices, and ensures that the price development will be appropriate...", Mr. Nguyen Trong Thien discussed.
Contacting the Vinh City Land Fund Development Center, we were able to access the Minutes of the People's Meeting on November 17, 2023. It shows that out of 10 households in Yen Binh block that are subject to site clearance and resettlement, 8 households participated with 9 comments (Mr. Nguyen Mao, Mr. Dang Thanh Vy, Mr. Truong Xuan Loc, Ms. Ta Thi Do, Mr. Phan Dang Ba, Ms. Le Thi Lieu, Mr. Luu Xuan Dung, Mr. Hoang Van Luat and Ms. Nguyen Thi Hien). In general, the households agreed with the policy of implementing the Kim Dong road expansion project; wanted the city to speed up the site clearance and project implementation progress. In addition, they expressed their desire that the compensation regime and policies must be appropriate; review the scale of road expansion to 18m, affecting many households; determine specific resettlement locations...
Also in the minutes, the recommendations and proposals of the households were recorded and clarified by the representatives of the City Land Fund Development Center as well as the People's Committee of Hung Phuc Ward. Specifically, regarding the planning of Kim Dong Street, the zoning plan of Hung Phuc Ward has been approved by the Provincial People's Committee, ensuring consistency so it cannot be changed. Regarding the resettlement area, the center has proposed to the competent authority that it is at the planning area of parks, parking lots, cultural houses and residential land subdivision areas of Vinh Phuc Block, Hung Phuc Ward, in accordance with the wishes of the households. When there is a decision on the resettlement location and land prices at the departure and arrival locations, there will be timely notification to each household...
Recently, on November 20, 2023, Vinh City People's Committee issued Decision No. 4623/QD-UBND on the arrangement of residential land fund for resettlement land allocation and land allocation with land use fee collection without auction when implementing the Kim Dong Street expansion project, Hung Phuc Ward. According to this decision, Vinh City People's Committee arranged 16 land lots (including A01, A02, A03, A04, A05, A06, A07, A26, B06, B13, B14, B15, B16, C06, C07, C10) in the planning area of parks, parking lots, cultural houses, dividing resettlement land lots in Vinh Phuc block, Hung Phuc Ward and residential land fund for resettlement land allocation and land allocation with land use fee collection without auction when implementing the Kim Dong Street expansion project.
As the person who signed Decision No. 4623/QD-UBND, Vice Chairman of Vinh City People's Committee Nguyen Sy Dieu said that the clearance of the "bottleneck" section of Kim Dong Street through Yen Binh Block, Hung Phuc Ward has been the desire of the city's people for many years, including the people of Yen Binh Block and Hung Phuc Ward. Therefore, the work of site clearance and resettlement of related households so that the Kim Dong Street expansion project can be implemented is a matter of great concern to Vinh City People's Committee.
Recently, Vinh City People's Committee has urged Hung Phuc Ward People's Committee, City Land Fund Development Center and related departments and offices to carry out related tasks. At the same time, when Hung Phuc Ward People's Committee reported the wishes of households to be resettled in the ward, the City People's Committee proposed the Provincial People's Committee to allow resettlement in the planning area of parks, parking lots, cultural houses and to divide resettlement land plots in Vinh Phuc block. This is a very beautiful resettlement location, only about 300 - 400m from the old residence of households. The very happy thing is that the proposal was approved by the Provincial People's Committee, which was the basis for Vinh City People's Committee to issue Decision No. 4623/QD-UBND.
Regarding the construction of land prices at the departure and arrival locations, according to Mr. Nguyen Sy Dieu, the city's viewpoint is to be public, transparent, and ensure the interests of the people. Mr. Nguyen Sy Dieu said: "There will be agencies including the People's Committee of Hung Phuc Ward, an independent consulting unit to conduct surveys, propose compensation prices to submit to departments, offices, and the City Price Council for consideration and decision. The city's viewpoint is that the price at the departure location will be equivalent to the market price at the same time to ensure the rights of households. The city government hopes that households will understand and agree so that Kim Dong Street can be opened, resolving the long-standing wishes of the city's people, as well as the people of Yen Binh block and the people of Hung Phuc Ward...".
Thus, with the information stated above, we hope that the Kim Dong road expansion project will have the consensus of the relevant households so that the Kim Dong road project can be implemented on schedule, and the "bottleneck" section on the route can be cleared!
