The shortage of teachers in educational institutions is a matter of concern for voters.

No session can be considered high-quality without prior, substantive, frank, and responsible interactions with constituents. From the constituent meetings held by the City People's Council delegations recently, it's clear that most of the people's requests are specific and urgent. For example, constituents have raised concerns about the slow upgrading of Provincial Road 22, serious coastal erosion, insufficient lighting for aquaculture areas, inadequate staffing at the commune level after reorganization, inadequacies in salary payment policies under Decree 173; abandoned fountains causing waste and unsightly conditions; inconsistent waste collection; inconvenience caused by railway lines running through residential areas; lack of transparency in land surveying; and slow compensation and support for the expansion of the extended To Huu road…

The issues that emerged from these voter outreach meetings highlight three key tasks that relevant agencies need to focus on addressing at the year-end session. Firstly, infrastructure bottlenecks, from roads, drainage systems, dikes, and seawalls to lighting and irrigation systems, are a common concern throughout the city. This is no longer a matter of fragmented investment but requires synchronized planning, capital allocation, and implementation monitoring, especially in the context of Hue becoming a centrally-governed city. Secondly, social welfare and public services: education lacks personnel, health insurance has many shortcomings, and post-disaster relief needs to be swift – all reflecting the need for equitable development, ensuring no one is left behind. Thirdly, improving state management of land, temporary residence, environment, and ensuring the quality of surveying and processing of documents requires transparency, effectiveness, and accountability.

In each petition, what stands out is the high expectations of voters towards the government. Voters not only express their concerns but also hope that the government will listen and act promptly.

Over the past period, the city government has made efforts to address voters' petitions, but monitoring reports at regular sessions show that many petitions remain unresolved. Slow progress in handling these petitions and a lack of coordinated efforts between departments and agencies have negatively impacted people's lives and production. Many roads are in disrepair and frequently flooded, causing difficulties in transportation; unfinished projects and prolonged project suspensions, coupled with unclear funding and accountability, have caused frustration among voters.

Voters don't need vague reassurances, but rather concrete commitments with clear deadlines, resources, and responsible agencies. For example, when proposing infrastructure projects, people want to know where the funding will come from, in which quarter the project will be implemented, which agency will develop the project, who will monitor the progress, and what the results will be. These demands reflect the desire for the government to listen and act transparently and effectively. This is also a crucial point that the City People's Council must clarify to ensure the rights of the people, enhance the effectiveness of state management, and build trust in a dynamic and responsible government.

The People's Council representatives listen not only to acknowledge but also to act promptly, turning recommendations into reality to serve the lives of the people, while promoting the effective development of infrastructure and public services.

The year-end session lasts only a few days, but the opinions gathered from constituents are the most important material, accurately reflecting what the People's Council must decide in the new year. Listening to understand, understanding to act – that is the true spirit of representative democracy and effective urban management in the context of Hue's journey to becoming a regional urban center.
