The free parking lot at 125 Nguyen Duc Canh was invested in and built by the city on the site of the old Tran Phu Detention Center, which has been in operation since 2018. The parking lot is located in Cat Dai ward, the old Le Chan district, now Le Chan ward, Hai Phong city.
Previously, due to the situation of messy parking causing collisions between vehicles, used vehicles occupying parking spaces, street vendors, and theft, from the beginning of 2021, the People's Committee of Le Chan District (old) assigned the People's Committee of Cat Dai Ward (old) to preside over the construction of a model of the Veterans Association managing parking spaces.
After some upheavals related to collecting parking fees at free parking lots, from September 23, 2023, the People's Committee of Cat Dai Ward (old) announced the termination of the implementation of the Model "cat Dai Ward Veterans Association participating in arranging - maintaining order at free parking lots at 125 Nguyen Duc Canh". Since then, there has been no one to look after or guard the parking lot, and vehicle owners who are using the parking lot for free have found their own parking lot.

On September 10, social networks spread images of some subjects collecting money from people at the free parking lot at 125 Nguyen Duc Canh. Previously, this parking lot was repeatedly reported by some subjects arbitrarily collecting deposits from people.
Regarding the reflection on social networks, this morning, September 11, speaking with Lao Dong, Mr. Pham Van Tan - Chairman of Le Chan Ward People's Committee said that the ward had received information reflecting on the situation of a subject collecting parking fees at the free parking lot at 125 Nguyen Duc Canh and had assigned the ward police to verify and clarify, report to the city for handling (if any).
