In order to promote the in-depth development of the city's public green space "destruction of greenery and occupation of green" special governance action plan, the Pingjiang Street Comprehensive Administrative Law Enforcement Brigade in accordance with the principle of "focus, responsibility implementation, and management norms", in view of the characteristics of "destroying greenery and occupying green" in the back streets and alleys of the jurisdiction, many problems, and easy recurrence, strengthen the investigation of key places such as both sides of back streets and alleys, river (lake) embankments and the surrounding areas.
Xihai Island Lane is an old alley that began in the Ming Dynasty, which not only retains the comfortable life atmosphere of old Suzhou, but also fills the world with fireworks in the water towns of the south of the Yangtze River for thousands of years. However, during the inspection, the law enforcement team found that some households along the Pingmen River on Xihai Island had destroyed the public green space without authorization and planted vegetables instead. After an in-depth investigation, the law enforcement team members will educate and rectify the illegal acts of the parties. Residents also realized their mistake and took the initiative to pull out the vegetables they had grown. At the same time, the team members guided the residents to use foam boxes to plant vegetables indoors, which solved the problem of residents' "destruction of green vegetables" and easy recurrence.
In order to rejuvenate the vacant land, the brigade took the opportunity of the renovation of "Jingmei Street and Alley" to redesign and build a miniature garden by the river and alley on the "vegetable field". This small garden provides a good place for residents to relax and socialize. Here, residents can enjoy the beautiful scenery and also interact with the neighbors.
At the same time, the brigade also pioneered the invitation of nearby residents to participate in the "co-construction, co-governance and sharing" of public green space. "I am very happy to be able to participate in the daily maintenance of the small garden in front of my house, so that the small garden becomes more and more beautiful like our life. As someone who loves life, I really enjoy working with the community to take care of this beautiful little garden. Auntie Zhang, who lives in Xihai Island Lane, is an active participant in this small garden, and she is very serious about cooperating with the community to take care of the flowers and trees. It is precisely because of the participation of these resident volunteers that the public green space in the community can be maintained more beautifully.
From a "vegetable patch" that has been "destroyed and occupied" to a "secret garden" that has been carefully cared for by residents. In just a few months, the small garden has become the finishing touch of this old neighborhood. Promote norms with standards, and build fortresses with norms. With the demonstration of "standard model room", more and more public green spaces in the back streets and alleys in the jurisdiction are being reborn, and the people living here are more warm and harmonious.
