Democratic Progressive Party New Taipei City mayoral candidate Su Tseng-chang (蘇貞昌) yesterday pledged to improve the city, which he said has fallen into stagnation in the past few years, despite being upgraded from county to special municipality.

Stumping for the Nov. 24 nine-in-one elections, the former premier took part in a series of campaign events in Banciao (板橋), Sindian (新店), Gongliao (貢寮), Shuangsi (雙溪) and Sanchong (三重) districts.

At an event to inaugurate New Taipei City Councilor Huan Chun-che’s (黃俊哲) campaign headquarters in Banciao, Su said the city government has failed to eliminate the foul odor emanating from the Nanzih Ditch (湳仔溝) in the district, despite spending NT$1.5 billion (US$48.4 million) to improve the environment over the past 10 years.

A theater project planned for the district has been stalled for 13 years, he said.
