O Gwang-rok, Gwangju Seo-gu Council Member, "Leading the Establishment of a Proper Political Party Banner Culture"

Recently, the roads in Gwangju, which had been suffering from indiscriminate political party banners, are becoming cleaner.

It is a change that occurred six months after Oh Gwang-rok, a member of the Gwangju Metropolitan City Seo-gu Council, actively engaged in legislative activities since January to organize indiscriminate political party banners and illegal advertisements.

Since the revision of the Outdoor Advertising Act in December last year, numerous political party banners have been indiscriminately posted, blocking pedestrians' views and causing accidents, leading to many complaints being filed with the Seo-gu Office.

In response, Councilman Oh asserted at the recent extraordinary session, "Citizens' safety is threatened by indiscriminate political party banners, so the Seo-gu Office must actively take the lead in organizing these banners through joint inspections."

The Seo-gu Office's Urban Regeneration Division, the department responsible for the headaches caused by political party banners, also agreed with Councilman Oh's proposal and launched a large-scale cleanup.

They re-explained the political party banner posting guidelines to each party and guided them to prevent indiscriminate posting of political party banners.

Councilman Oh said, "I appreciate the Seo-gu Office for actively organizing the banners that have caused inconvenience to citizens," and added, "As the historically powerful typhoon 'Khanun' is approaching, I hope efforts will be intensified to prevent accidents caused by banners and to establish a healthy banner posting culture."
