In response to the recent news that the cleaning fee for temporary stalls in the South Miao Market will be increased from 40 yuan to 50 yuan per day, there are even rumors that this increase is led by the Miaoli City Office. It is currently at the height of the Miaoli mayoral election campaign, which has triggered Miaoli Mayor Yu Wenzhong. Attention: After receiving complaints from market residents and stall vendors, Yu Wenzhong made a stern clarification today (13th), emphasizing that the cleaning fees for Nan Miao Market stalls are collected by the Nan Miao Market Management Association, and the city office has no involvement at all and has not charged any fees.

Yu Wenzhong emphasized that according to relevant regulations, any rate adjustment case of the Nanmiao Market Management Association must be reported to the Miaoli County Government for approval before implementation. Currently, the case has not only not been approved, but has not been implemented at all. Please rest assured, stallholders.

Recently, many Nanmiao Market stallholders reported to Yu Wenzhong that the surrounding environment of the stalls is usually cleaned by the stallholders themselves. They are quite confused about the purpose of the original 40 yuan daily cleaning fee and why an additional 10 yuan is charged. They are also puzzled and worried about the rumors that the city government is leading the price increase.

Yu Wenzhong asked the Nanmiao Market Management Association to explain the whole story. According to the association, due to the decrease in the number of stalls in recent years, the revenue has shrunk. In addition, the large number of holiday crowds requires the hiring of additional administrators to maintain order. Worried about insufficient funds, preliminary discussions have been held internally to adjust the rates. As for environmental maintenance, the association stated that public areas of the market are cleaned in accordance with regulations.

In this regard, Yu Wenzhong reiterated that all stall management and cleaning fees at the Nanmiao Market are collected by the "Nanmiao Market Management Association", and the Miaoli City Office has no involvement or involvement at all. Yu Wenzhong emphasized that doing business is not easy, and the Municipal Office and the majority of stall vendors and fellow villagers feel the same way. Regarding the rumors of this increase, the Office will continue to pay attention to the rumors of this increase, and will always stand on the side of the stalls, maintaining a clear attitude of "be considerate of the stalls, and do not increase the increase", and will never be happy to see an increase in the operational burden on the grassroots.

Open Questions

  • Will the Nanmiao Market Management Association still submit an application for rate adjustment again?
  • If the association applies for an increase in the future, will the Miaoli County Government approve it?
  • What are the specific uses of the original $40 daily cleaning fee?
