The Yeonggwang County Council in Jeonnam held its second council members’ meeting for 2025 in the conference room on the 21st, engaging in in-depth discussions on key current issues.

During the meeting, the council listened to five reports submitted by Yeonggwang County, including the plan for the Neulpum Village Development Project, the schedule and content sharing for dialogue between the county governor and residents, and the maintenance project for the prioritized management area of Yeonggwang-eup’s sewer system. The council also exchanged opinions on seven matters under its jurisdiction.

Regarding the Neulpum Village Development Project, the council members suggested that, instead of a leasing method, the project should be promoted as a subsidy program to allow young residents to autonomously manage the space. They emphasized that this approach would encourage proactive participation from the residents and enhance the sustainability of space management.

In addition, concerning the dialogue between the county governor and residents, there was a request to go beyond simply ending with a conversation and to systematically monitor the progress of projects and strengthen post-management for issues and suggestions received from each town and township.

Furthermore, regarding the maintenance project for the prioritized management area of Yeonggwang-eup’s sewer system, members mentioned the potential issue of concrete curing during winter construction, suggesting that construction should be avoided in winter and that the safety of residents should be prioritized.

Yeonggwang County Council plans to strengthen cooperation with the executive branch to ensure that the opinions presented at this meeting are faithfully reflected in county administration and to continue ongoing communication so that the voices of residents are effectively incorporated into policy.
