Focus on comprehensive and synchronous investment in infrastructure
The issue that many ward officials are concerned about and raised questions in dialogue with the Vinh City Party Committee's Standing Committee is related to urban infrastructure. Secretary of Block 11 Party Cell (Doi Cung Ward) Le Van Minh said that although the city has been a class I urban area for 15 years, the urban infrastructure has not been invested synchronously, is not bright, beautiful, or modern. He suggested that the city have a plan to invest in synchronous infrastructure, focusing on central wards and key routes, creating a highlight in appearance, worthy of a class I urban area.
In addition to the lack of urban infrastructure, many opinions at the grassroots level reflect and request the city to focus on handling many "black" spots causing traffic accidents and flooding in Quan Bau ward, Trung Do ward, Nghi Kim commune, Nghi Phu commune; and environmental pollution at Hung Loc regulating lake.
Along with urban infrastructure, Party Secretary of Hamlet 17 (Nghi Phu Commune) Dang Thanh Nghi pointed out the shortcomings of public high schools in Vinh City. For many years, the city has only had 3 public high schools, while the city's population has increased significantly; creating pressure for children in the entrance exam to grade 10, even many children in the city have to take the exam and study at public schools in other localities.
Responding to infrastructure issues, comrade Tran Ngoc Tu - Deputy Secretary of the City Party Committee, Chairman of the City People's Committee affirmed: In recent years, the city has devoted huge resources to infrastructure investment. In the period of 2021 - 2025, the city decided to invest in 583 projects, 5 times more than the previous period; including 39 key projects, with 3,300 billion VND; 29 anti-flooding projects, with 811 billion VND; 55 school projects; 48 projects related to solving pressing problems...
In investment, do not spread out, prioritize focusing on 5 groups: projects to stimulate socio-economic development; prevent flooding; urban beautification; build schools; resolve bottlenecks and inadequacies in infrastructure.
The Chairman of the City People's Committee also admitted that investment has not met the requirements of urban development; therefore, along with continued investment by the city, it is necessary to join hands and mobilize social resources from agencies, units, businesses and people to invest in renovating the front of their agencies and houses to make them more spacious and beautiful.
Regarding traffic "black spots", the Chairman of the City People's Committee said that there are contents that have been, are being, and will be directed or coordinated by the city to overcome.
Party building and political system
Regarding Party building, opinions from grassroots cadres have reflected a lot on the work of managing Party members. The situation of many retired Party members not submitting their Party records to their place of residence is happening in many grassroots levels.
The work of developing and assigning "hard" targets to Party cells is not suitable to reality, because there are many blocks and hamlets that mainly have retired cadres, young people and few people of working age.
Along with that, there are difficulties in recruiting staff for block and hamlet cadres, when the workload is heavy, mainly undertaken by retirees; inadequacies in Regulation No. 08 of the Provincial Party Standing Committee on assessing the quality of living...
Comrade Nguyen Van Lu - Standing Deputy Secretary of the City Party Committee responded to the opinions in turn; emphasizing: The City will continue to study solutions to strengthen the management of Party members, limit retired Party members from not submitting Party records or submitting them elsewhere, including Party members who were former leaders at all levels.
The Standing Deputy Secretary of the City Party Committee also said that the team of block and hamlet cadres is the "extended arm" of the ward and commune; however, in reality, in the past, wards and communes considered the block and hamlet as an administrative level and put a lot of work, causing pressure on the block and hamlet. This is also the reason why party members are not interested in taking on the work of the block and hamlet. To overcome this problem, the requirement is that the city and wards and communes continue to innovate management and operation work; at the same time, increase the application of information technology, build a digital government to reduce work pressure for commune-level civil servants and avoid "dumping" work on the block and hamlet.
Regarding retired party members who do not submit their Party records, the Standing Deputy Secretary of the City Party Committee affirmed that the city will strengthen inspection, supervision and handling according to regulations; at the same time, promote the role of Party committees at all levels in mobilizing and educating political ideology for party members to continue promoting their role.
Resolutely carry out promises
Speaking at the end of the conference, comrade Phan Duc Dong - Member of the Provincial Party Standing Committee, Secretary of the City Party Committee, Chairman of the City People's Council informed about some outstanding results in the first half of the term of implementing the city's congress resolution, and at the same time affirmed the extremely important contribution of the team of block and hamlet cadres in carrying out the city's political tasks, especially the recent fight against the Covid-19 pandemic and the current implementation of Project 06.
Listing some key tasks that the city is and will focus on, comrade Phan Duc Dong hopes that the team of block and hamlet cadres will continue to agree, accompany, and wholeheartedly support the city's policies to join in propaganda and mobilize all classes to participate. The immediate task is to organize and launch emulation movements to beautify the urban area, clean the environment, and practically celebrate the 60th anniversary of the founding and 235th anniversary of Phuong Hoang Trung Do.
The Vinh City Party Secretary also emphasized the city's determination in solving the problems that are being raised and the problems that were reflected and proposed by block and hamlet cadres at the conference with the determination to "keep promises".
