Residents join together to revamp community
Print Edition
PUTUO has launched the campaign to improve the environment and advocate self-governance at a grassroots level.
District Party Secretary Shi Xiaolin hopes that more people join community affairs and work with grassroots officials to improve living conditions and build a better home for everyone.
Xiaoyujia Lane, a rundown neighborhood with more than 2,700 residents, half of them migrants, is getting a facelift thanks to joint efforts by local officials and residents.
Community officials helped residents to form a self-governing body to oversee sanitation and environment in the lane and prevent illegal activities with volunteer patrols.
Unlicensed stalls and venders are told to obtain official permits and follow the law and regulations. More and more residents now work as volunteers to help maintain good order in their neighborhood.
The collective effort has paid off. There is no littering anymore and illegal structures were removed, while harmony in the lane increased.
At 2003 Xincun Road, a renovation project saw the construction of a sunroom for public use which has become a place for indoor recreation and exercise.
Residents may enjoy dancing or do physical exercise here. Other areas, like Nujiangyuan community in Changzheng Town, have also been improved through local’s self-governance
At Jianhua community in Taopu Town, residents and community officials clean up the public space of each apartment building.
