Bellavista, the basketball court invaded by waste and bottles

In the district of Ivrea, the bivouac of some people who urinate on the walls even during the day has been reported. In San Grato, in via Perotti, the third chasm near the garages has been open since December

IVREA. Plastic bottles, when it’s good, glass, when it’s bad. Often split, scattered on the ground on the sides of the Bellavista basketball court in the multi-sports area. And then all kinds of paper, pizza boxes abandoned on the walls. The lawn above the stands is also littered with rubbish.

Those who work or live in the neighborhood, then, tell of unedifying scenes. A corner of the pitch has been practically converted to toilet use, with the walls watered almost daily. Particularly in the afternoon, a group of people would have begun to frequent that area assiduously. Which, as a rule, was used by children to play basketball, or even by children from nearby schools.

It is a corner of the neighborhood that clashes with the neighboring ones, where the lawns are well cared for, practically no waste on the ground. In this area there are also many leaves on the ground, in the driveway that runs alongside the sports field

dangerous fences at the playground It is not the only sign of deterioration between the districts of Bellavista and San Grato. In the Bellavista playground, for example, rotten and rusty fences – one of which collapsed on a little girl a month ago – have not yet been replaced.

Yet many of them lack the internal bars, a sign that they are too easy to remove in an area where many children play, especially in the afternoon.

the mowing area never regulated

A little further on, there is the Bellavista mowing area. Where Daniela Sardino continues her fight against those who throw rubbish on the road that leads to her house and often makes it difficult, if not impossible, for her to return home.

Inside, everything ends up: from cars to plywood panels, as already documented by Sentinel many times. Yet no one seems to want to fence off the area.

the three chasms of san grato

In the district of San Grato the problems often worsen and become chronic. The symbol is the walkway in front of the garages in via Generale Perotti. The axes where cars and even garbage trucks pass, as the residents Mariangela Gamberini and Emanuela Rossi have often pointed out, are in fact shaky and two chasms have already opened up, patched up by the municipal administration with no small effort.

The first time it had taken eight months, the second just one because the procedure was now known.

The third is in December and, to date, no one has intervened yet. Accomplice, certainly, also the City Budget which remained blocked until last month, without the possibility of spending for extraordinary maintenance. There remains, therefore, a series of backward interventions that will slowly be disposed of. Priority will be given to playgrounds.

However, the idea of ​​replacing all the shaky boards of the walkway was never taken into consideration, which owes its difficulties also to the impossibility of removing the pipes that pass underneath, apparently still in use.

Still in via Generale Perotti the tip of a tree still hangs over other branches, still in the same conditions from the bad weather that has manifested itself in the past months.
