At the citizen reception session, Ms. Hoang Thi Mai requested to implement the planning of an 18m road passing through her land in Block 7, Le Loi Ward (Vinh City) since 2002. If it cannot be implemented, the planning should be deleted so that citizens can exercise their rights as land users. Because currently, most of the area is about 379 m²Her family's planning affects family life in many aspects.

However, according to the authorities, deleting the planning in the Land Use Rights Certificate when the planning is still in effect is not in accordance with the law.

On the other hand, the State has not yet allocated the budget to implement the project of expanding the road passing through Ms. Mai's land plot, so there is no basis for carrying out land recovery, compensation and site clearance.

When reporting on the planning of the 18m road above, Vinh City leaders and the Department of Construction both said that from a scientific perspective, planning this road is necessary.

After listening to opinions from citizens, localities and relevant sectors, Provincial Party Secretary Thai Thanh Quy said that it is necessary to carry out planning work based on a scientific perspective, especially in newly planned areas.

However, in areas with long-standing and dense populations, new planning needs to be carefully considered based on the application of planning science, but must be closely linked to reality, locality, people's opinions, and social life in that area.

Accordingly, the Vinh City People's Committee is assigned to prioritize land allocation for valuation in the city's residential land planning with specific prices according to general regulations.
