Voter Nguyen Phuong Que, block 2A, Thanh Chuong town reflected: The town is currently being built to meet urban civilization standards, however, in the area there are a number of projects that have attracted investment such as commercial areas, urban areas that have not been implemented and a number of agency headquarters have been moved to new locations, now abandoned, affecting the urban beauty, becoming a place for people to collect garbage.

It is recommended that the province and district urge investors to construct projects; at the same time, have a policy to handle old headquarters assets to avoid wasting land resources here.
