The way of doing things of Hoang Mai town, according to comrade Le Truong Giang - Member of the Provincial Party Committee, Secretary of the Town Party Committee, is to mobilize the entire political system to participate, at the same time, strengthendialogue with the people, creating consensus.

Therefore, after the Town Party Congress for the 2020-2025 term, the Standing Committee of the Hoang Mai Town Party Committee reviewed and developed a plan to resolve 22 urgent and long-standing cases under its authority, and so far 10/22 cases have been resolved; at the same time, assigning responsibility to the heads of Party committees and commune-level authorities to resolve 21 issues and cases under the authority of the commune level. The town also sets out the responsibility of the heads and each comrade in the Standing Committees and Executive Committees at all levels of Party committees in performing political tasks; including each party member by assigning tasks of propaganda, mobilization, assistance, and support to each household in the residential area, avoiding the situation where party members only speak at party cell meetings without participating in people's meetings, and are not responsible for the local movement.

The way Hoang Mai town does it is to mobilize the entire political system, at the same time, increase dialogue with the people, creating consensus."

In addition to the achieved results, there are still many targets and tasks that are facing many difficulties. Party committees at all levels always require the responsibility of leaders in leading and directing the implementation of political tasks, including administrative reform, fighting against corruption, resolving urgent issues, complaints and denunciations from the people...; but up to now, there has not been any concretization in the assessment and review of leaders in these issues. On the other hand, the pioneering and exemplary spirit of some cadres and party members has not been clearly demonstrated... these are issues that need to be corrected and overcome to continue to create changes in the implementation of the Resolution of Party Congresses at all levels in the coming time.
