Need to strictly manage the rental of kiosks at stadiums

Some residents in Tien Lang town, Tien Lang district, Hai Phong city, reported that recently, many shops in the area in front of the Tien Lang district stadium have set up signs and displayed goods, encroaching on the sidewalk. Many people expressed their concerns and questions about whether or not these businesses have arbitrarily "parachuted" to encroach and set up kiosks to sell goods?

According to local residents, we were present at the Tien Lang District Stadium at noon on April 17. At the main gate of the stadium, along the central road of Tien Lang town, there are about 20 kiosks mainly selling coffee, soft drinks, and breakfast. Some kiosks display signs, tables and chairs encroaching on the sidewalk. At the side gate of Tien Lang District Stadium, there are 3 kiosks selling food services and a Billiard Club.

At a meeting with Nguoi Dua Tin about the local people's reflection , Mr. Pham Xuan Hoa - Chief of Office of Tien Lang District People's Committee, Hai Phong City, affirmed that there was no case of business households arbitrarily "parachuting" to encroach and set up kiosks to sell goods.

Mr. Hoa said that, based on the regulations of the Central Government and Hai Phong City, on July 31, 2008, Tien Lang District People's Committee issued Decision No. 1214/QD-UBND on leasing kiosks under the district stadium's grandstand area (on the central road of Tien Lang town) for the purpose of using for business activities, cultural services, sports, small-scale commerce, and serving the community.

According to Decision 1214, Tien Lang District People's Committee assigned the District Sports and Physical Training Center (now the District Culture, Information and Sports Center) to sign contracts with individuals and units that need to rent kiosks. On July 30, 2013, Tien Lang District People's Committee issued Decision No. 1605/QD-UBND on adjusting the rental price of these kiosks.

Faced with the current state of the district stadium's degradation, on October 4, 2013, Tien Lang District People's Committee issued Decision No. 2168/QD-UBND on approving investment in the form of socialization in the fields of culture, physical education and sports and the economic and technical report on the project to renovate and upgrade the district stadium.

Accordingly, Tien Lang District People's Committee approved an individual to invest in renovating and upgrading the district stadium according to the socialization plan with a total area of 11,184 m2 for business and service purposes, serving cultural, physical education and sports activities according to the provisions of law. The investor is allowed to build service kiosks, service, security houses, and public toilets.
