Suwon Station Civil Service Center Closes After 10 Years

[Asia Economy (Suwon) = Reporter Lee Young-gyu] Gyeonggi Province will close the operation of the 'Suwon Station Civil Service Center' on the 16th.

The province announced on the 1st that since the Suwon Station Civil Service Center has been operated mainly for issuing certificates, which are city and county affairs, it was judged that it would be more efficient for the relevant city to handle tasks closely related to residents' daily lives, so the operation will be terminated.

Opened in July 2010 on the 2nd floor of Suwon Station (AK Plaza), the Suwon Station Civil Service Center has provided services such as general civil consultation, certificate issuance, financial welfare, job counseling, and legal consultation.

However, as 80% of the recent civil complaints handled were related to issuing certificates such as resident registration and seal certificates, the province held consultations with Suwon City regarding the closure of the Suwon Station Civil Service Center and reached a sudden agreement to close it in January.

A provincial official explained, "Following the policy direction of Governor Lee Jae-myung of Gyeonggi Province in the 7th local government, who intends to focus on metropolitan-level affairs and actively delegate authority for tasks that can be handled by cities and counties, the decision was made to close the Suwon Station Civil Service Center."

With the closure of the Suwon Station Civil Service Center, the province plans to establish a Repetitive Civil Complaints Response Team to focus on metropolitan civil services. This team will actively listen to the opinions of complainants and processing agencies regarding repetitive complaints resolved by cities and counties and mediate and coordinate solutions.
