Traffy Fondue) Problems and obstacles in the operation of the district office

Governor Chatchart revealed after the meeting that Today is the 29th time to travel in Lak Si district. This area is half-suburb and inner-district. It has an area of about 21 square kilometers. The population is about 100,000 people. The major problem in Lak Si District is transportation. At present, Lak Si District has 4 main roads, namely Vibhavadi Rangsit Road, Chaengwattana Road, Kamphaeng Phet Road and Ngamwongwan Road, but these 4 lines only have Ngamwongwan Road. The only line that Bangkok takes care of. The rest belongs to the Department of Highways. Therefore, when there is a problem such as the construction of Bangkok, it is quite difficult to supervise. Now you can see that the road with heavy traffic is Chaengwattana Road to Ram Inthra. Due to the construction of the Pink Line electric train, both the road and the Pink Line electric train Under the supervision of the Department of Highways And the Mass Rapid Transit Authority of Thailand (MRTA) when the electric train was built, there was a digging of water and power lines, making the pedestrian walkways unusable. There are a lot of people complaining about this issue through Bangkok. Has submitted this issue to the Kao Lai Party when they discussed it in the past. to focus more on coordination between agencies Because to solve some problems in the district area, it is outside the jurisdiction of the BMA.

For yesterday, the deputy governor of the MRTA and the deputy director general of the Department of Highways were invited. Participated in the area to follow up on the overall progress of the Pink Line electric train construction, point 1, Big C Supercenter Chaeng Watthana (opposite Chaeng Watthana Government Center) and point 2 around Phranakhon Rajabhat University. to the Bang Khen roundabout, Bang Khen district, to acknowledge the plan to restore traffic surfaces, sidewalks, drainage throughout the construction route Ready to listen to problems that affect people and solutions. Like yesterday’s news, in the event that Ram Inthra Road, Khan Na Yao District, collapsed 1 meter deep, the said road is under the supervision of the Department of Highways. The collapsed well belongs to the Metropolitan Electricity Authority. The construction on the road Department of Highways. Therefore, in the future, cooperation must be strengthened and strengthened, whereby Bangkok will be the host in solving problems.

The next problem is Flooding in the area. In the Lak Si district, the main drainage canal is Klong Prem Prachakorn In Prem Prachakorn Canal, we have a project to build a dam and relocate communities along the canal. At present, there are about 1,600 households who have not moved because some people still disagree in principle. therefore delaying the construction of the dam and making it difficult to dredge the Prem Prachakorn Canal because there are people’s houses encroaching on If going in to dredge the canal, it may cause the house to collapse. As a result, this has a continuing effect on the drainage. This is something that the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration needs to speed up.

Overall, the land and building tax of BMA, the tax collection may be increased from the property tax. But the increase Sources of income may be different, for example, before business operators paid a lot of property taxes. But nowadays people who have land have to pay more taxes.

From the assessment of 2022 and 2023, the Ministry of Finance has revised interesting numerical criteria. is the owner of the land in which the BMA collects the most tax in Lak Si District, namely the Government Center, Treasury and Asset Development Due to the commercial development, Bangkok has to collect taxes. The Ministry of Finance has assessed the tax that Treasury develops assets to pay tax to Bangkok 56 million baht, but in 2023 it remains only 25 million baht, while other plots of land are small. The appraised value of the tax return increases. Larger land pays less tax. both in the same area This is something that needs to be asked by the new government to help review the method of calculating tax payments. due to land and building tax It is an important local tax. As for the tax collection of the Lak Si District this year, it is expected to collect about 290 million baht, which is close to the property tax.

For an overview, Lak Si District is an area that has expanded more. more people in the area The 15-minute garden development plan has continued to develop. Which the whole area should have 8 gardens, now 1 garden has been completed, 3 more gardens are in progress and will continue to expand in the future to increase green spaces and exercise areas for more people Planting more than 10,000 trees in the Lak Si district, but still need to focus on planting more perennials
