Precise efforts to effectively meet the needs of citizens
At the entrance of Yilongwan Primary School at the intersection of Beijing Road and Malingshan Road, Uncle Sun, who often comes here to pick up and drop off his grandson to and from school, put forward his own views: "The entrance to this school is on the main road of Beijing Road, as soon as school and school time are crowded with parents who pick up and drop off their children, not only the traffic is affected, the safety of children and parents is also a problem, if there is a waiting area around this to pick up and drop off children, it will be good!" ”
The issue raised by Uncle Sun near Yilongwan Primary School is the common voice of many nearby residents.
