Residents of Angol Village, Yeonsu-gu, Incheon, Submit Collective Petition Urging Administrative Enforcement Against Illegal Buildings

Residents of Angol Village in Cheonghak-dong, Yeonsu-gu, Incheon, where the urban regeneration project is underway, have filed a collective complaint urging the prompt administrative enforcement against illegal buildings.

According to Yeonsu-gu on the 20th, since January, Angol Village residents have been conducting a signature campaign calling for the swift execution of administrative enforcement on the railway corporation land in Angol Village, collecting signatures from 660 residents to date.

This signature campaign was carried out through the voluntary participation of the Angol Village Residents' Autonomous Committee, various self-governing organizations, and residents. On this day, the residents plan to directly deliver the petition to the railway corporation and submit their complaint.

In the complaint, the residents stated, "Yeonsu-gu announced the urban regeneration project for Angol Village in the Cheonghak-dong area, so we had high expectations that our neighborhood, which is more underdeveloped compared to other areas, would be thoroughly cleaned up," adding, "In particular, we believed that with the construction of the Urban Regeneration Harmony Center next month and the creation of a 40-space public parking lot on the nearby railway land, not only the cityscape but also parking difficulties would be resolved."

They continued, "We had trusted that the railway corporation would handle this promptly and waited, but we do not understand why the demolition of illegal facilities is still delayed," emphasizing, "We collected signatures to show the strong will of Angol Village residents."

Song Sang-hwa, chairman of the Cheonghak-dong Residents' Autonomous Association, said, "Active measures by the railway corporation against illegal buildings are urgently needed," and added, "We hope the administrative enforcement procedures proceed quickly for the development of Angol Village and that the urban regeneration project is successfully completed."

Meanwhile, the railway corporation has begun the formal administrative enforcement process, with a prior notice issued on the 12th, targeting unauthorized occupancy buildings on the railway land at the entrance of Angol Village in Cheonghak-dong.
