Jungshim, Spring Cleaning Campaign

Hong Nampyo, Mayor of Changwon Special City in Gyeongnam, is fully committed to close-contact administration by immersing himself in everyday life.

Mayor Hong Nampyo is cleaning at a community-based administrative site.

On the morning of the 18th, Changwon Special City conducted a spring cleaning event to create a clean and pleasant living environment for the upcoming spring, with the participation of about 1,000 citizens from all walks of life.

This spring cleaning event saw the massive participation of around 1,000 people, including Mayor Hong Nampyo, local self-governing organizations, public workers, environmental staff, and government officials. The cleaning focused on maintaining rainwater drains in areas such as Myeonggok-dong, Olympic Park, Odong-dong, Fish Market, Yangdeok-ro, and Bongyang-ro.

On that day, Mayor Hong joined about 200 residents who voluntarily participated to clean the environment around Yeojwacheon Stream in preparation for the 62nd Jinhae Gunhangje Festival. He actively engaged in disaster prevention during the rainy season by personally opening rainwater drains and collecting fallen leaves and cigarette butts.

Additionally, Mayor Hong conducted safety inspections of facilities such as the Yeojwacheon Stream bridge to prevent safety accidents among visitors to the Jinhae Gunhangje Festival.

After completing the spring cleaning, Mayor Hong immediately visited the construction site of Seokdong Tunnel (tentatively named the 2nd Anmin Tunnel), which is scheduled to open early for the Jinhae Gunhangje Festival, and carried out a safety inspection of the overall road facilities.

This follows his announcement on the 26th that he would enhance citizens' convenience through close-contact administration, with Mayor Hong personally visiting the site to carefully oversee the progress.

Mayor Hong said, “While the past two years were focused on setting the major direction of city administration, this year I will concentrate on close-contact projects,” adding, “We will continuously discover and strengthen close-contact projects that can help our citizens.”
