Coming to Thai Hoa town today, it is easy to see that the implementation of hanging the national flag on the main roads is implemented synchronously and seriously. Previously, because there were no specific instructions on size, how to hang and especially when to hang, each household and each neighborhood did it differently, not ensuring urban aesthetics.

To restore urban order and build a cultural lifestyle in residential areas, one of the requirements of Thai Hoa town is to unify the standards for hanging the national flag.

Implementing the above plan, since April 2017, in the project to build a civilized urban ward, Hoa Hieu ward has deployed people to hang the national flag in unison with the correct size, 3.5m high, the angle of the flagpole is 45 degrees, creating a synchronous and neat landscape.

Ms. Hoang Thi Hai, residing in Kim Tan block, Hoa Hieu ward, said: This is a small but meaningful work because it not only creates beauty in the urban landscape but also contributes to educating the sense of responsibility and love for the homeland and country for each citizen of the town.

Comrade Nguyen Manh Hung - Secretary of the Party Committee of Hoa Hieu Ward said: In the coming time, to implement the project of building a ward that meets urban civilized standards, the ward will continue to propagate and mobilize people in other blocks to implement and expand the hanging of the national flag in the area.

In addition, the town has also paid attention to and regularly directed the work of urban sanitation and beautification. In previous years, due to the lack of organized waste collection, the lack of proper waste collection places, and the limited environmental awareness of the people, waste was thrown haphazardly, causing environmental pollution, affecting people's health and spoiling the beauty of the village.

Faced with that situation, Thai Hoa town has actively implemented waste collection to ensure environmental sanitation in the area, contributing to building civilized urban areas and new rural areas.

To achieve this goal, immediately after the Town Party Congress, waste collection projects were developed. Accordingly, functional forces regularly focus on propaganda and directly collect waste in residential areas, with the participation of associations and unions.

Along with that, the collection and centralized waste treatment sites need to be carried out in accordance with the reality and general planning of each locality. The town has integrated the contents of the campaign "All people unite to build a cultural life in residential areas", implementing village covenants and conventions in maintaining rural environmental hygiene.

Mobilize people to practice a civilized lifestyle, build cultured families; encourage production and livestock development associated with environmental protection; promote tree planting, care and protection, create a clean environment and green - clean - beautiful landscape; launch movements to improve village roads, alleys, family yards and build solid, standard sanitary works.

Ms. Cao Thi Minh Nguyet - Member of the Standing Committee of the Town Party Committee, Head of the Town Party Committee's Propaganda Department said: "In addition to strengthening propaganda work for people to be aware of disposing of garbage in the right place, the town has launched a campaign for people to clean up on Saturdays and Sundays on inter-hamlet, inter-commune and inter-ward roads. Thanks to that, people's awareness of environmental sanitation has been raised, each person strives to become a modern, exemplary urban citizen."
