Regarding the use of sidewalks as parking spaces at BigC Vinh Supermarket
(Baonghean) - Nghe An Newspaper on June 4 published an article "Sidewalk becomes parking lot for supermarket" reflecting the situation in front of Big C Supermarket, located in Quang Trung Ward, Vinh City, being occupied to become a place to park, park and collect money. After the article was published, Nghe An Newspaper received feedback from a representative of Big C Supermarket stating that the above information was not accurate, because Big C Supermarket does not collect any parking fees from customers. Big C Vinh Supermarket is only a unit that rents part of the business area in the Complex of Trade Center, luxury apartments, and Vicentra townhouses owned by Vinh Trade Center Investment Joint Stock Company....
Upon receiving the above petition, the Editorial Board of Nghe An Newspaper has re-examined the information. Through the inspection, it is known that the article was directly observed and witnessed by the author. Previously, in Notice No. 107/TB - Vinh City People's Committee dated April 23, 2012 of the Vice Chairman of Vinh City People's Committee at the working session with Quang Trung Ward on urban management and land management in the ward, it was also stated that "Big C Supermarket encroaching and using the sidewalk of Quang Trung Street for parking" is one of the problems that the City People's Committee requested the Quang Trung Ward authorities to promptly resolve.
Realizing that this is information related to the interests of many people, and in the current context that the city is strengthening management of urban aesthetics, Nghe An Newspaper has published the above article. In fact, after verification, the unit directly organizing parking, collecting fees, arranging and arranging parking on the sidewalk is Vinh Vicentra Commercial Center Investment Joint Stock Company, the owner of the building where BigC Vinh Supermarket rents business premises. The author and Nghe An Newspaper sincerely apologize to the unit. However, through the process of checking and verifying the incident, it shows that although BigC Vinh Supermarket does not collect any parking fees from customers, BigC Supermarket does not plan or arrange parking for customers?
On the afternoon of June 13, a representative of Nghe An Newspaper worked with Mr. Pham Viet Long - Director of Vinh Trade Center Investment Joint Stock Company and he acknowledged that the above problems are real. Currently, despite great efforts, the Company has not been able to resolve them. In addition, there are a number of other violations such as collecting parking fees exceeding the State's regulations, not having a parking price list... Regarding the issue of supermarkets using sidewalks for business during holidays and Tet, Mr. Long said: The supermarket has approved the Company, but up to now there has been no official written consent from the Company. Therefore, in reality, the Company cannot control whether or not supermarkets use part of the sidewalk for business. Nghe An Newspaper would like to thank the Company for its cooperation in exchanging information and feedback.
