Yoon Gu-young, Bupyeong District Councillor: "We must implement effective policies that reflect the voices of small business owners and women who have experienced career interruptions"

During the 274th Bupyeong District Council temporary session held on the 28th, Bupyeong District Councillor Yoon Gu-young (People Power Party·Samsan 2-dong, Bugae 2·3-dong) sharply examined livelihood issues and proposed policy alternatives targeting relevant departments such as Economic Support, Job Creation, and Resource Circulation.

In the Economic Support inquiry, Councillor Yoon questioned the self-sustainability plan following the conclusion of the 'Renaissance Project', which is now in its fifth year. He particularly emphasised that regarding the Mayor's pledge of a satisfaction survey for the 'Yellow Umbrella membership incentive', it should be used as a means to identify the real management environment improvements or loan guarantees that small business owners truly need during a period of high closure rates, rather than simply asking about satisfaction with the monthly support of 10,000 won.

He also pointed out the inequity of the technical support project, which benefits only a very small number of the 1,760 factories in the district, and called for a reasonable selection method that more companies can feel within the limited budget.

Regarding job creation responsibilities, he represented the voices of women who have experienced career interruptions. Councillor Yoon stated, "We need various job opportunities linked to companies that allow women to utilise their existing professional knowledge, rather than being confined to limited jobs such as childcare workers."

Concerning the newly opened 'Mobile Workers' Rest Shelter', he noted, "While the interior is excellent, it is located far from the central areas such as Bupyeong Station or the rotary where riders mainly wait," pointing out the locational limitations, and urged for efficient operation of the unmanned access system and active promotion.

In the Resource Circulation inquiry, regarding the allegations of embezzlement of labour costs by the waste collection agency, he urged, "Beyond a simple labour-management issue, thoroughly check the accounting transparency and ensure fair administrative handling such as recovery of unjust profits."

On the other hand, regarding the 'Clothing Collection Box Maintenance Project' carried out as a non-budget project, he praised the active administration's achievements, stating, "It is very encouraging that the existing scattered collection boxes have been removed and contact information has been specified, improving the urban landscape."

In addition, Councillor Yoon checked the management of the environmental improvement burden collection rate, automobile exhaust gas regulation, and the appropriateness of the budget for operating unmanned recycling machines for transparent PET bottles, concluding his inquiries by requesting thorough management and supervision of all projects funded by taxpayers' money.
