Before entering the conference, voters were informed of some basic features of the province's socio-economic development situation in 2019, and at the same time announced the expected content and program of the 12th session of the 17th Provincial People's Council, which will take place in mid-December 2019.

Nghi Thu Ward has an area of ​​7.3 hectares and a population of 5,500 people. Since November 1, 2019, implementing the policy of merging blocks and hamlets, Nghi Thu Ward has reduced from 10 merged residential blocks to only 4 blocks. Currently, the economic structure of Nghi Thu Ward mainly focuses on developing trade, services, tourism, industry and construction; the agricultural sector accounts for less than 1.5%. Average income per capita reaches 71 million VND/person/year.

Many projects use state capital but have poor quality.

Reflecting to the Provincial People's Council delegates, voter Phung Ba Tien, Block 3, Nghi Thu Ward said that the current policy for people with meritorious services still has many shortcomings. In the area, there are many policy beneficiaries who have experienced resistance wars, are now old and weak but have not received the support they deserve.

Regarding the implementation of technical infrastructure investment and basic construction, voter Tien reflected that currently in the ward there are projects using State investment capital but the quality is poor, not effective, and there are even projects that have not been completed but are damaged.

Therefore, it is recommended that agencies, departments, and local leaders - those responsible to the people - pay attention and coordinate in implementing inspection and supervision activities to ensure that projects are built according to design and in accordance with the actual conditions of the locality.

Voters in Nghi Thu Ward also reflected on the current situation of projects that were established but have not been implemented in practice for many years. For example, the project to expand Binh Minh Street has not been implemented after many years, while the new tourist season is approaching and the planning still cannot be implemented.

Besides, the problem of traffic planning and technical infrastructure has been affecting people's lives. Accordingly, because of planning, people who want to build are not allowed.

Voters also reflected that the land acquisition for resettlement also revealed many shortcomings and problems, creating loopholes for subjects to take advantage of policies. To solve this phenomenon, voters proposed that in areas that need resettlement, wards, towns and provinces need to establish appropriate planning, and when resettlement is carried out, it must be carried out simultaneously, avoiding disruption and the emergence of complicated problems.

For a long time, local leaders have been mobilizing people to build residential areas according to the motto "flowery streets, clean and beautiful trees", but this policy cannot be implemented in the area of ​​46 plots of land in the Bac Hai block that the locality has divided and sold to people. Voters pointed out that to ensure the area of ​​trees per capita, according to regulations, a person must ensure at least 9m²trees, however, for the 46 plots of land, there is currently no space for people to plant trees or arrange vegetation. Voters believe that this is one of the issues that authorities must pay attention to when building residential areas or resettlement areas according to planning...
