2/kloc-achievements in people's social life since the 20th century

In recent years, Changshu has made great efforts to improve people's livelihood and benefit the public, so that the people can fully enjoy the fruits of reform and development and high-quality and equal public services, and the happiness index of urban and rural residents has been continuously improved. For the special report of "Changguang News" and "Welcome to the Two Sessions", please listen to the report of Changguang reporter Huang Yikun: "Great development of social life, great improvement of people's happiness index"

Food, clothing, housing and transportation are the most basic aspects of people's lives. In recent years, Changshu attaches great importance to housing security, and actively solves the practical difficulties of low-and middle-income families in the city through various forms such as low-rent housing in kind, low-rent housing rental subsidies and affordable housing. Since 2008, our city has launched more than 1000 sets of affordable housing every year, which has fulfilled the housing dreams of a large number of low-and middle-income households without housing. Zhang Peihua, a citizen, applied for affordable housing in 2009, passed the qualification examination and finally bought the house in Jinfeng Jiayuan at a price far below the market price. Zhang Peihua: It's nice here, and it's convenient for us to go shopping. It is only four traffic lights away from RT Mart. The property is also relatively perfect, like the fine weather, and the small park below can play fitness equipment for the elderly.

By the end of 20 1 1, our city has solved the housing difficulties of 2,449 low-and middle-income families. Wang Hong, director of Changshu Housing Security Center, recorded that: among them, 670 sets of affordable housing were purchased, 670 sets of low-rent housing subsidies were implemented, with a subsidy amount of 7.6 million yuan, and 304 sets of low-rent housing were allocated in kind.

In 20 12, the city will continue to strengthen the construction of affordable housing, further lower the threshold of housing security, and let more low-and middle-income families with housing difficulties enjoy the good policy of housing security. Recording in Wang Hong: Continue to build 500 sets of price-limited commercial housing on plot Longteng 3 1 and 300 sets of affordable housing on plot Longteng 39. This year, 600 sets of affordable housing will be started in Longteng No.39 plot, 300 sets of price-limited commercial housing will be started in Longteng No.39 plot, and 170 sets of public rental housing will be opened in Jinshanyuan District 4. Continue to increase the construction of affordable housing and improve the supply rate of affordable housing.

In addition to housing, transportation is also an indispensable part of people's lives. Since 2009, Changshu has successively opened town and village buses to facilitate rural residents' travel. Up to now, except Dongbang Town, other towns and villages in the city have opened town and village buses. Ms. Lu, who lives in Gaochang Village of the town, said: She goes to work in the town by bus No.309 every day. After 5,438+1 0 in June last year, all the town and village buses were equipped with IC card swiping machines, and the whole fare was unified to1yuan, so that they also enjoyed the same preferential treatment as urban residents. Recording: I bring it every day. Because of convenience, I bring it after work every day. I drive a battery car every day. I haven't driven it since I came here. It's been over two years. Last year, I got a card for one yuan each time, which is much more affordable.

It is understood that by May this year, Dongbang Town will also open town and village buses. By then, the bus coverage of towns and villages in the city will reach 100%. Yang Wenhua, Deputy Director of Transportation Management Department of Municipal Transportation Bureau: Recording: It is planned to open town and village buses in Dong Bang Town in May this year, when the bus coverage rate of all towns and villages in our city will reach 100%. In the next stage, our transportation department will further improve the urban-rural integration planning of public transport, optimize the bus network of villages and towns, gradually increase the capacity, encrypt the frequency of flights, shorten the frequency of flights, and make rural residents travel more conveniently.
