The heeled Efe of Muğla listened to troubles

Menteşe Municipality Mayor and Urban Planner Gonca Köksal held the second public meeting in Menteşe at the Türkan Saylan Modern Life Center. Mayor Köksal attended the meeting, which attracted great interest from citizens, along with Deputy Mayors and department heads.

In her opening speech at the meeting, Mayor Köksal stated that the purpose of the public meetings is to identify current issues and make decisions with common sense for the future. She said, “We started our public meetings to ensure that you also have a say in the urban method and to make decisions regarding the city together. Your suggestions and ideas shape our roadmap.”

In her speech, Mayor Köksal said:
“We are working tirelessly and without rest to add value to our city with all our municipal units and to ensure that every individual living in the city leads a happy and peaceful life. While continuing neighborhood meetings, we are also holding public meetings in the center. To serve you better, we have established a new field team within our municipality. Our field team will go through neighborhoods, streets, and avenues, identifying problems on-site and directing them to the relevant departments immediately. Thanks to the feedback we will receive from you in the field, we will produce more effective solutions and increase our service quality. At the same time, this team will be by your side in good times and bad. I believe that our field team, which will work in coordination with our Call Center, will be very beneficial during this process. Our aim is to respond to needs effectively. Our efforts to increase our revenue streams as a municipality continue. Our Metropolitan Municipality Mayor Mr. Ahmet Aras is always with us, providing great support. We are in constant discussions about what we can do together for our Menteşe. We already meet frequently with our valuable neighborhood muhtars. Our Muhtarlık Directorate is conducting more active work on this matter. With our understanding of municipal work that produces results, not just words, we are working for better service for you. We gathered here today to listen to your suggestions, warnings, complaints, and requests and to produce solutions. I know that thinking together and acting together will always take us further.”
After Mayor Gonca Köksal’s speech, citizens took the floor to share their suggestions and requests. Mayor Köksal took notes while listening to the citizens and instructed the department heads present at the meeting to carry out the necessary work according to the requests received.
