Yeongam County in South Jeolla Province is continuing its field-oriented administration by engaging in direct communication with people working in the delivery industry.

The county announced that on the 20th it held an event titled "Time to Open the Window of Communication, Mokyo Daehwa" at the Samho-eup Administrative Welfare Center, where it listened to the difficulties faced by delivery workers, including delivery agency riders. The meeting was organized to share the challenges encountered in the field of delivery work and to explore improvement measures to create a safer working environment.

Participants proposed strengthening road safety management in winter, cracking down on illegal parking and stopping during commuting hours, establishing measures to prevent kickboard traffic accidents, and reinforcing safety facilities in accident-prone sections. In particular, they focused on raising issues regarding traffic safety in sections with insufficient snow removal during bad weather and in areas with chronic congestion.

Yeongam County stated that it would consult with relevant agencies and proceed with measures such as strengthening snow removal operations in high-risk sections, expanding traffic safety management, intensively cracking down on illegal parking and stopping, conducting joint crackdowns with the police, and expanding safety infrastructure.

Yeongam County Governor Woo Seunghee said, "People working in the delivery industry are important members who sustain the local economy and the daily lives of county residents," adding, "We will continue to set aside time for listening and communication so that voices from the field are actively reflected in county administration."
