When will Thanh Vinh remove all the old and dilapidated apartment buildings?

(Baonghean.vn) -According to the requirements of the Project to resolve old collective housing areas in Vinh city approved by the Provincial People's Committee in Decision No. 109/2007/QD-UBND dated September 21, 2007, Vinh city must complete the demolition of collective housing by 2015. Up to now, the time fund is only more than 2 years but the completed volume is only 37%. As a result, the people are miserable and the urban appearance is slow to improve.

Only by visiting the apartment buildings and witnessing the living conditions of the residents here can one fully understand the necessity of the Project to resolve the dilapidated apartment buildings in Vinh City. The Viet Duc Garment Apartment Building in Hong Son Ward is a typical example. Located in the city center, surrounded by Tran Phu and Ngo Duc Ke streets... the Viet Duc Garment Apartment Building has 203 households living there.

The alley here is winding and narrow, the slum houses are small, low, and dilapidated, lying close together. Among them, there are many households with 3 or 4 generations with more than 10 members, such as the families of Mrs. Nguyen Thi Lap, Nguyen Thi Lan, or Mr. Nguyen Dinh Hien... According to Mr. Nguyen Cong Tien - Secretary of the Party cell of block 12 (May Viet Duc collective housing area, also block 12, Hong Son ward), the sun is miserable on one side and the rain is miserable on the other, just a heavy rain lasting 30 minutes will flood the whole area, the hot sun is extremely stuffy and stuffy... Mr. Tien said: "People are beyond endurance, so we really hope that the city government and Hong Son ward will quickly implement the procedures...".

Also in the city center, Quang Trung ward has old collective housing areas: Metal and Electrical Machinery (Block 10), Factory 1 - Vinaconex Company (Block 13), Confectionery Company (Block 11), Quang Trung Food and Beverage (Block 10). Most of these old collective housing areas have already made plans for compensation and site clearance, infrastructure construction or have had plans approved by competent authorities but are still sluggishly standing there. Tired of waiting, and suffering from having to live in slums, when asked, some residents exclaimed: I hope the storm will come and destroy all the collective housing areas...

According to the data of the City Urban Management Department, out of a total of 138 collective housing areas that need to be resolved in the area, by May 4, 2013, Vinh City had eliminated 51 collective housing areas; and if counting from 2007 (when Decision 109 took effect), after 6 years, the amount of work done has only reached 36.96%. Of the remaining 87 collective housing areas, 6 have completed site clearance and infrastructure construction and are completing land allocation procedures; 15 collective housing areas are preparing site clearance compensation plans; 6 collective housing areas have had approved subdivision plans and are implementing the next steps; 7 collective housing areas have had approved subdivision plans, but must request planning adjustments to suit the current usage status; 17 collective housing areas are being planned... Wards and communes with many collective housing areas that have not been or are being resolved include: Cua Nam (14 collective housing areas), Ben Thuy (7 collective housing areas), Quan Bau (8 collective housing areas), Hung Binh (13 collective housing areas), Trung Do (6 collective housing areas), Le Mao (6 collective housing areas), Quang Trung (6 collective housing areas), Hong Son (4 collective housing areas)...

According to Mr. Nguyen Quoc Thang - Head of Vinh City Urban Management Department, in the past time, the results of resolving collective housing areas in the area have changed but have not achieved the set plan. The causes leading to the difficulties and complications pointed out are: The planning of land plots must comply with regulations, but at the same time must ensure the arrangement of enough households living there; The collective housing valuation records that people keep are incomplete or even non-existent; Resettlement land for households after planning is still lacking... In addition, the wards and communes have not really taken responsibility for the elimination of collective housing, leading to poor coordination with the city's functional departments; the city's departments and offices still have many limitations in guiding and helping the wards and communes in completing related documents; Difficulties and obstacles in the implementation process have not been promptly resolved by the city's leaders...

Mr. Thang said: Recently, Chairman of the City People's Committee Nguyen Xuan Sinh issued Notice No. 89/TB-UBND directing members of the Steering Committee to implement the project, relevant departments, offices, and wards and communes to thoroughly focus on solving the problem of collective housing. In which, clearly stating the responsibilities of each collective and individual; tasks, contents to be implemented and at the same time assigning a deadline for completing each collective housing area. The Chairman of the City People's Committee also requested that any problems must be reported so that the city leaders can directly direct...

To completely resolve the dilapidated apartment buildings in Vinh city is not simple. The Viet Duc May apartment building in Hong Son ward was approved by the province for on-site resettlement, and although the people committed to voluntarily clear the land so that the government could divide the plots according to the plan, when implementing the plan, there were complaints or problems. According to Mr. Duong Minh Ha - Chairman of Hong Son ward People's Committee, to resolve the Viet Duc May apartment building is a "mountain" of complicated work. The city and ward have held many meetings with the people, but there are still some areas that are not really clear. Mr. Duong Minh Ha said: Currently, the detailed planning of the Viet Duc May apartment building has been completed by the consulting unit and is being submitted to the city for approval. We hope that by the end of June, Hong Son ward will organize for the people to clear the land...

The ward government "expects" to organize site clearance at the end of June, but according to Block 12 Secretary Nguyen Cong Tien: Although residents of the May Viet Duc apartment complex hope to have the site cleared and the plots divided soon, there are still some points that they do not agree with the detailed planning...
