Reflecting to the provincial People's Council delegates, voter Vo Ngoc Hoang expressed concerns about the speed of coastal urban development of Cua Lo town.

As a resident for decades, I see that the urban face of Cua Lo is slow to change. Cua Lo is a tourist destination of the province and is identified as a growth pole of the province, but many roads are still in a state of suspended planning.

For example, the planning of route number 2 has been suspended for decades and has not been cleared. People's houses are degraded but they do not dare to build because they are waiting for the road to be constructed. Every time it rains, people have difficulty traveling.

Route 3 is damaged, and in the summer, restaurants and hotels use a lot of water, leading to foul-smelling wastewater that affects the town's tourism environment. Meanwhile, the east side of Binh Minh Street, the town's central route, is still fragmented, patchy, and unsynchronized in its planning.

"When will the urban appearance of Cua Lo town change?" - Mr. Hoang expressed.

Voter Bui Thi Them commented: The recommendations of ward voters such as electricity lines and upgrading some roads have been resolved by authorities at all levels.

However, to develop tourism, the town needs to invest in entertainment and culinary areas for tourists to visit and shop. In particular, the town needs to invest in building a clean water pipeline system to ensure daily life and tourism services.

Voters of Thu Thuy ward suggested supporting the locality to promote the construction of model residential areas. The town continued to invest and complete the lighting system on some roads in the ward.

Strengthening the management of guests; paying attention to building the ward's office; cultural house of the block after the merger; continuing to reform administrative procedures to create favorable conditions for organizations and individuals, etc.

Concentrate all resources on building a tourist city

Clarifying voters' concerns about urban planning and management, Chairman of the People's Committee of Cua Lo town Doan Tien Dung emphasized: The urban face affirms the tourism brand.

The recent limitations and shortcomings in urban management include the responsibility of the town and the ward. In the coming time, the town will resolutely implement and tighten urban management. The town will establish an Electric Vehicle Association to manage in a way that promotes the role of the collective.

Regarding planning work, the Chairman of the Town People's Committee said that in July 2022, the Standing Committee of the Cua Lo Town Party Committee will listen to the Town People's Committee report on the plan to clear the eastern part of the town. After consulting with the wards, the Standing Committee will agree on the policy of clearing the residential area to serve the tourism development orientation.

At the same time, at the October 2022 meeting of the Town People's Council, the Town People's Council will approve the town's investment portfolio in 2023 to be proactive in local investment work.

"The town will focus all resources on building Cua Lo tourist urban area to develop rapidly and sustainably, together with Vinh City to become the growth engine, the innovation center of Nghe An and the North Central region in the spirit of Resolution No. 01-NQ/TU on building and developing Cua Lo town to 2025 and the following years, proposed by the Standing Committee of Nghe An Provincial Party Committee" - said comrade Doan Tien Dung.

The opinions and recommendations of voters of Thu Thuy ward, Cua Lo town were received and summarized by the Provincial People's Council delegates at the upcoming session of the Provincial People's Council.
