Assemblyman Lee Hyung-seok Secures 2.1 Billion KRW Special Grant for 5 Projects Including Crime Prevention CCTV Installation

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Yoon Jamin] Rep. Lee Hyung-seok (The Democratic Party of Korea·Gwangju Buk-gu Eul) announced on the 22nd that he secured 2.1 billion KRW in special grants from the Ministry of the Interior and Safety.

The budget is for five projects aimed at resident safety, including the installation of crime prevention CCTVs and yellow carpets around crosswalks in school zones.

The projects include 600 million KRW for sewer pipe repairs around the rear gate of Chonnam National University, 600 million KRW for installing crime prevention CCTVs in Yongbong-dong and other areas, 400 million KRW for road and sidewalk maintenance on Maegok-ro, 300 million KRW for creating a garage for household waste collection vehicles and welfare facilities for workers, and 200 million KRW for installing yellow carpets around crosswalks in school zones.

Over the past three years, Rep. Lee has secured a total of 12.1 billion KRW in special grants from the Ministry of the Interior and Safety for the development of Buk-gu and the enhancement of resident safety.

In particular, with the secured budget for installing crime prevention CCTVs in Yongbong-dong and other areas, CCTVs will be installed in 20 locations including the outskirts of the city and sparsely populated residential areas such as Yongbong-dong, Unam 1, 2, and 3-dong, Dongnim-dong, and Geon-guk-dong. This is expected to proactively protect the lives and property of residents living in blind spots for crime prevention.

Yellow carpets will be installed in school zones at Yongju Elementary School (Yongbong-dong), Daeja Elementary School (Unam-dong), and Dongnim Elementary School and Hanul Elementary School (Dongnim-dong) in Buk-gu.

Yellow carpets are child traffic accident prevention devices that allow children to wait for signals in a yellow safety zone at the entrance of crosswalks and help drivers easily recognize children. The installation of yellow carpets is expected to significantly enhance the prevention of child traffic accidents.

Additionally, the road and sidewalk maintenance project on Maegok-ro in Buk-gu is expected to create a pleasant walking environment for residents and improve the urban landscape.

The sewer pipe repair around the rear gate of Chonnam National University is a project to enhance the structural function and durability of old and worn sewer pipes, preventing ground subsidence phenomena that threaten resident safety.

Furthermore, securing the budget for creating a garage for household waste collection vehicles and welfare facilities for workers is expected to stabilize the operation of household waste management and improve worker welfare.

Rep. Lee said, “I secured a relatively large amount of special grants from the Ministry of the Interior and Safety to strengthen resident safety and improve a pleasant living environment,” adding, “I will continue to do my best to resolve the longstanding issues of local residents and improve their quality of life.”
