"Secretary Meng, can you see if the street lights are on tonight?" "Bright, bright, really bright, in the future, people in our village who love dancing can dance square dances at home at night......." Villager Wu Hanzhong opened the video, with a happy smile on his face, and shared his joy with Meng Yanhong, secretary of the Party branch of Fengzhuang Village, Liancun Town, Xincai County.
In the past, many roads leading to households in the Fengzhuang Village Committee were not smooth, it rained, there were puddles, and the roads were slippery, which had great potential safety hazards, and it was inconvenient for the masses to travel, affecting agricultural production and the masses' travel. At the beginning of March this year, under the call of the village party branch, 36 villagers of Wangkan Village Group raised 70,400 yuan, and the first road was completed in less than a month. Immediately after the construction of the second road of the Wangzhuang Village Group and the third road of the former Fengzhuang Village Group, by March 20, 37 villagers of the Wuzhuang Village Group raised more than 130,000 yuan to build the fourth road. Up to now, the Fengzhuang Village Committee has raised a total of more than 260,000 yuan, built nearly 2 kilometers of new roads, participated in fundraising nearly 100 households, installed more than 50 street lights, and benefited more than 1,200 people.
Also in Dazhuang Village, the "road" is also the thing that the masses are most concerned about. There is a 550-meter-long mud road in Caozhuang Village, Dazhuang Village Committee, on March 25, under the leadership of Wang Xia, secretary of the village party branch, the villagers were called on to raise funds to repair the road and raise funds of 133386 yuan, which began on April 12 and was successfully completed on April 18, creating the speed of Dazhuang.
There is no trivial matter in people's livelihood, and the branches and leaves are always related. "If the road is not passable, how can the people's hearts be passed?" A few years ago, the party committee and government of Liancun Town held a special meeting to study matters related to road repair. Issued the initiative of "welcoming the hometown, returning to the hometown, building the hometown", calling on the successful people, villagers and capable people to contribute to the construction of infrastructure and the improvement of the living environment in their hometowns.
Fengzhuang Village and Dazhuang Village are just a microcosm of Liancun Town's mobilization of the masses to donate funds to build roads. At present, the enthusiasm of the masses in Liancun Town for road repair is high, and the village committees of Jialou Village, Yaoying Village, Liying Village, Wangweizi Village, and other village committees are donating funds to repair roads in full swing.
On April 18, 2024, after learning about this situation, the liaison group of the CPPCC of Liancun Town investigated the road repair situation donated by Fengzhuang Village and Dazhuang Village, and fully understood the problems of the lack of roads leading to households and the lack of funds for road repair in the village. After doing a good job in the preliminary investigation, the liaison group convened the leaders of the county CPPCC, CPPCC members, representatives of the village committee, and heads of relevant departments to carry out the special consultation and deliberation activities of "mobilizing the masses to donate funds to repair roads".
At the event site, everyone actively exchanged speeches and suggestions from how to scientifically formulate the budget for road repair projects and do a good job in publicity work in the early stage, to the use of fund-raising funds and project quality assurance and other related issues in the later stage. Through the establishment of honor lists and merit monuments, we will stimulate the awakening of the masses' consciousness, continuously attract social capital, and at the same time make good use of the government's policy of benefiting farmers, strive for the support of many parties, and constantly improve the village-level road infrastructure, so that the "people's roads" will become "roads to prosperity" that drive the masses to increase their income.
"Take care of your own affairs, and discuss the affairs of the people", involving the difficulties, troubles, and worries of the masses, clarify ideas, deepen understanding, reach understanding, form a consensus, and work together to solve the problems in "drinking tea around the table and discussing with each other". Through the discussion and consultation platform, Liancun Town continues to work hard in key tasks such as human settlements improvement, rural construction and governance, and industrial development, pays attention to overall planning, enhances the awareness of mass participation, further consolidates the achievements of human settlements improvement and rural infrastructure construction, and strives to build the countryside into a new home suitable for living, working, harmonious and happy.
By building a platform and unblocking the channels for the expression of the interests of all parties, the masses have a greater sense of participation and experience in the consultation. Liancun Town will continue to make good use of the "good to discuss" consultation and deliberation platform, continue to actively expand the content of consultation, enrich the form of consultation, standardize consultation procedures, and constantly explore new ideas and methods for work, so as to ensure that political consultation achieves new and better results in grassroots governance.
