A few decimeters of wall thickness separates excellence from indecency.
The SerD (services for pathological addictions) of Ponticelli It is recognized by the community and also by the users themselves as a first-rate center. Outside, however, it is a completely different story.
The ASL building located in Viale dei Mosaici is surrounded by rubbish, degradation and abandonment.
"I go there for gambling addiction. There are sociologists, educators and doctors there and I must say that it is a center of excellence where I have found myself and I find myself very well" - says a user who turned to the Green-Sinistra alliance deputy Francesco Emilio Borrelli - "But outside, where there are the stairs that lead to the Serd and the medical guard, it is a disaster. It has been like this for years."
"Unacceptable situation, even more so if it is outside an ASL center. Maintenance and cleanup interventions are urgently needed, as well as controls against illegal dumping of waste and bulky items. What we see here is the general picture of the suburbs and the ways in which they are administered and abandoned" - these are the words of Borrelli.
