Q&A summary
| Contents of question | Answer |
|---|---|
| [Regarding post-cutting processing of trees] There was a big tree on the sidewalk across from the Hirao Self-Government Hall, and the sidewalk was maintained after the tree was felled. However, perhaps because the roots of the trees hadn't rotted properly, sap-like magma overflowed from the ground, causing discoloration of the road surface. My child touched it and got a rash, so I want you to treat the roots. |
・Even if the top of a tree is cut, its roots are still alive, so I think it absorbs water and releases something like sap. ・Since the management of trees costs a huge amount of money, and the cutting of roots costs even more, I would like to make the treatment of roots after cutting a research topic. |
| [About bus routes] Around next month, a new road will be opened in the Hirao area. |
・I can't say for certain, but I think so. ・In the past, there was a high demand for buses for commuting from housing complexes to stations, but as the population declines and ages in Tokyo, such needs have decreased. ・It is rare nowadays to add new bus routes, extend routes, and increase the number of buses. I have a request. This is very rare in the neighborhood. |
| [About child abuse measures] I heard that abuse against children is increasing in the city, but I would like to ask about the current situation and measures against abuse. |
The reality is that child abuse is on the rise. It has been overlooked by the public because it is difficult to draw the line between abuse and it is difficult for public authority to enter the family. There is a side. ・Unlike in the past, today there are more and more families with only one child, and because parents lack experience and information regarding child-rearing, there are cases in which abuse occurs as a result of isolation and affection. ・The problem is that death and disability remain as a result of abuse. If there is a report, it can be handled, but in the past, it was difficult to force it. The Tokyo Metropolitan Ordinance to prevent child abuse was enacted, prohibiting violence even if it was called discipline, and this made it easier for public authority to enter the family. ・The city's Children and Families Support Center was established to provide comprehensive child-rearing support, such as counseling and guidance regarding child-rearing, but today, the number of cases of child abuse has increased significantly. If you see abuse, please report it immediately. |
| [About Odara Tunnel] How long will the Odara Tunnel connect to the Tsurukawa Highway? |
・I would like to proceed as soon as possible, but it will take time because there are many landowners involved and there are many unclear points such as whose land ends. ・Tsurukawa Highway is a short distance from Odara's land readjustment boundary, but it will take a while as it is. |
| [About Inagi Second Junior High School] Inagi Second Junior High School is aging. Do you have any plans for renovations? |
・As it can be said about all public facilities, large-scale repairs will be carried out sequentially due to aging, but there is no precedent. ・As a characteristic of Inagi, various public facilities were built at the same time due to the sudden expansion of the city and the rapid increase in population. Therefore, the timing of renewal due to aging overlaps. The challenge is how to maintain public facilities in the face of the declining birthrate, aging population, declining population, and declining tax revenue. ・Other local governments have reduced the number of facilities from 10 to 5, and are rebuilding new buildings instead. Therefore, the existing facilities will remain as they are. ・In the current 4th long-term comprehensive plan, which is positioned as the city's top plan, renovation of the 2nd junior high school was not included, but we are currently formulating the next long-term comprehensive plan, and we will consider it in it. It will happen. |
| [About roadside trees] The zelkova trees lining the streets have grown too much, causing the sidewalks to overgrow. I would like to do some serious pruning. |
・We have been promoting town development based on the needs of citizens in the flow of the times, but I think it was not appropriate to choose the zelkova, which grows to be a large tree, as a roadside tree. However, I can't go back and deny it, so I want to think about countermeasures. ・Since trees grow roots to support the top, if they are pruned properly even in the middle of growth, the roots will not grow and balance will be maintained. There are problems with both the lack of understanding of the pruning and the fact that it was left unattended because there were complaints. ・The fundamental countermeasure for neagari is cutting down the roots, but it is difficult to deal with it because it is estimated to cost hundreds of millions of dollars. |
| [About Hirao Neighborhood Park] The Hirao Neighborhood Park has a lot of soil and is unrestricted, so I would like it to be maintained. |
・Inagi City has the second largest green park area per person in Tokyo, after Tama City. Park maintenance costs a lot of money. ・In conjunction with the rebuilding of the Hirao housing complex, unless the town is developed together with the Hirao housing complex shopping district and nearby parks, only the condominiums will improve and the rest will be left behind. We would like to consider such things as passing through trees, organizing trees, etc., based on the needs of the region. |
| [About Keirokai] The Hirao area is aging, and there are some people who do not participate in Keirokai, but how many do not? Also, how about holding Keirokai in smaller groups to make it easier for people to participate? |
・Every year, the Keirokai is held in two parts, one in the morning and one in the afternoon, with a total of about 1,000 people attending. ・The Keirokai invites people over the age of 70, and the invitation letter is sent to about 10,000 people, so the participation rate is about 10%. We also have a special bus to pick you up, and we hope that many people will participate. |
| [About police box] There is a police box in Hirao, but there are many times when the police are not there, such as in the morning and at night. |
・We make requests to the police every year for the installation of traffic lights, pedestrian crossings, police boxes, etc., but they have not been realized. ・In addition, the Metropolitan Police Department claims that there are not enough police officers assigned to the police box due to the lack of funds and the lack of people who can become police officers. ・Since the population of Inagi City is increasing, it is requested to increase the number of police boxes, etc., but it is not a priority because it is a city with few crimes even in Tokyo. I would like to continue to make requests. |
| [About rescue methods in the event of a disaster] When I asked the Inagi fire department if there was a rescue boat in the event of a disaster and there was a risk of flooding, I was told that there was only one boat with a motor. How can we help those who live near the Tama River? |
・Even if the embankment of the Tama River does not break down, if there is a heavy rain like once in 500 years, the Tama River will not be able to drain and will flow backwards, so the floodgates will need to be closed, and there will be no place for rainwater to go inside, and there is a risk of flooding. Yes. ・However, unlike earthquakes, disasters caused by heavy rain can be predicted in advance. Evacuation advice can be given before flooding occurs, so if you evacuate immediately, you don't have to use a boat. If the city issues an evacuation advisory, please immediately evacuate to a higher place. ・In addition to the motorized boat at the fire station, boats and life jackets are located in the 7th division of the fire brigade. In the future, we would like to consider preparing floating rings. |
| [About the water depth display board] In Inagi City, I haven't seen a sign indicating how many meters the water depth is, but are there any plans to install one? |
・Inundation depth display boards are installed on utility poles, etc. in areas where flooding is expected to indicate the assumed inundation depth, etc., and have been installed on utility poles since last year. |
