"Asphalt disaster, my mother injured in a fall at the market: shameful": the complaint to Pirri

Rough asphalt, potholes, and dips. It's long been dangerous to walk in Piazza Giovanni Medas in Pirri, the space that hosts the daily open-air market next to the Is Bingias civic market.
"Do they have to wait for the dead man to be taken care of?"
The venting question comes from Carla Atzori: her mother took a nasty fall while walking last Saturday, February 21st. She fractured her humerus and requires surgery. And it wasn't the woman's carelessness that was to blame: it was the damaged pavement.
During heavy rains, the water that flows from Piazza Italia onto Via S'erriu (which bears this name for a reason) ends up in that area and stagnates for a long time. The road surface is affected, but no one has ever repaired it, despite the area being popular with elderly people.
The Pirri open-air market, especially on Saturdays, Atzori accuses, "is no longer a meeting place but an insult to the street vendors who make a living from it and pay for public land, as well as to those who want to go there. Compensation for the citizen who suffers a trauma is right."
