[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Hyung-kwon] Gwangyang City announced on the 27th that it held ‘Gwangyang Happy Day’ on the 26th to provide an opportunity to listen to the voices of citizens.


Gwangyang Happy Day, which had been suspended due to the 21st National Assembly election and ‘social distancing’ measures to prevent the spread of COVID-19, resumed after four months as the COVID-19 response shifted to ‘distancing in daily life’.


The participation method for Gwangyang Happy Day has changed to advance registration, and the operating hours have been changed to 1:30 PM to 5:00 PM. During this Happy Day, a total of 3 teams and 8 citizens visited and proposed 6 issues, including the creation of a space where children can play such as a ground fountain in Gwangyeong-dong, expansion and paving of village alleys, and requests for extension of the community center lease contract.


Park Moon-su, Director of the Economic Welfare Bureau, who organized Happy Day, said, “Projects that can be promoted will be reviewed by the relevant departments and handled as soon as possible,” and added, “We will seek alternatives from the perspective of the complainants and inform them of the progress.”


He continued, “By receiving proposals in advance, visiting the site beforehand, and reviewing them with the relevant departments, we have been able to have in-depth discussions with citizens,” and said, “We will continue to listen more closely to the voices of citizens, improve mistakes, and promptly resolve grievances.”



Meanwhile, ‘Gwangyang Happy Day’ is held on the last Tuesday of every month in the Citizens’ Reception Room on the 2nd floor of Gwangyang City Hall, where any citizen can freely meet the mayor (vice mayor, directors) to discuss opinions on city administration, thereby resolving citizens’ difficulties and seeking directions for the city’s development.
