Need to upgrade Thanh-Binh-Tho raw material route soon

(Baonghean.vn) - On the afternoon of November 22, delegates of the Provincial People's Council including: Mr. Le Hong Vinh - Member of the Standing Committee, Chairman of the Provincial Party Committee's Inspection Committee; Nguyen Van Do - Member of the Provincial Party Committee, Director of the Department of Planning and Investment; Dang Thanh Tung - Secretary of Anh Son District Party Committee had a meeting with voters of Thanh Son commune, Anh Son district.

Comrades chaired the meeting with voters of Thanh Son commune, Anh Son district.

One of the issues that many voters of Thanh Son commune are concerned about and recommend to the provincial People's Council delegates is the need to pay attention to investing in the construction of the Thanh - Binh - Tho road. This is a vital traffic route but has now seriously degraded, not only affecting the transportation of raw materials for the sugar factory but also greatly affecting the lives of local people.

Comrade Dang Thanh Tung - Secretary of Anh Son District Party Committee announced the expected agenda of the 3rd session of the 17th Provincial People's Council.

"In order for the Thanh - Binh - Tho raw material route in Anh Son district to be effective in the long term, we hope that relevant levels and sectors will soon have solutions to support and upgrade it so that people in the raw material area in Anh Son can confidently invest in production," voter Le Hong Ngoc - village 7, Thanh Son commune suggested.

Explaining the voters' petition, comrade Nguyen Van Do - Director of the Department of Planning and Investment said: Thanh - Binh - Tho route - the main road connecting communes and districts has been in use for nearly 15 years so it has degraded.

Comrade Nguyen Van Do - Director of the Department of Planning and Investment explained the issue of concern to voters.

Comrade Nguyen Van Do gave good news to the people: the Thanh - Binh - Tho road upgrade project is in the list of 7 projects in the Central Economic and Social Support Program of the World Bank ADB. This is a model project among 7 projects of the province and has been directly surveyed by the sponsor. It is expected to be implemented in 2018 and will be expanded to double the current size.

Voter Le Hong Ngoc, village 7, Thanh Son commune, proposed to soon upgrade the Thanh - Binh - Tho raw material route.

At the meeting, voters of Thanh Son commune reported the situation of overcharging in schools without close supervision. Voter Tran Ngoc Phuong of village 1 of Thanh Son commune said: "Many schools take advantage of the "socialization label" to overcharge but have not been closely monitored. I suggest that the education sector should include socialized revenues in the construction fee collection."

Responding to voters on this issue, Comrade Nguyen Van Do - Director of the Department of Planning and Investment said: The policy of socializing education aims to mobilize all resources for investment in education. However, in the process of implementation, some places have "transformed" and lost the trust of the people. Provincial People's Council delegates will make recommendations and closely monitor to make this source of revenue public, transparent and effective.

Voter Tran Ngoc Phuong, village 1, Thanh Son commune, reflected: The supervision of socialized education fees is not strictly managed.

Some other opinions reflect on the situation of sand and gravel mining leaving serious consequences causing public outrage, affecting land and the environment. The rural power grid infrastructure is seriously degraded, affecting people's lives, production and safety. Voters suggest that the government should pay attention to upgrading the rural power grid; attract many investment projects to create jobs for rural workers.

Voters of Thanh Son commune also hope that the government needs to orient the market for farmers, avoiding the situation where people produce massively but cannot consume agricultural products.

Concerns and worries of Thanh Son commune voters have been received, explained and clarified by the Provincial People's Council delegates. The voters' opinions will be compiled by the Provincial People's Council and recommended to relevant units for consideration and resolution./.
