Santa Domenica Talao Mayor demands road repairs

Alfredo Lucchesi, the mayor of Santa Domenica Talao, has issued a formal demand for concrete action regarding the deteriorating condition of the intercommunal road connecting his municipality with Scalea, San Nicola Arcella, and Papasidero.

Lucchesi criticized regional councillor Antonio De Caprio and the president of the Province of Cosenza, Biagio Faragalli, for failing to implement repairs despite a memorandum of understanding signed in July. The mayor described the situation as a “road of no one” that has remained neglected for decades, characterized by extensive potholes that make travel difficult.

The road is a vital artery for local residents, providing essential access to the hospital in Praia a Mare. Lucchesi noted that the delays pose significant risks, citing instances where citizens faced difficulties reaching medical care during emergencies. He emphasized that after another summer passing without progress, the community deserves results rather than mere publicity or inspections.
