Cava de’ Tirreni, no elevator: she is a prisoner in her house

She is a prisoner in a council house. And at Acer. The Campania Agency for residential housing, they turn a deaf ear. Grandma Carmela she can no longer leave her accommodation. She is elderly, has serious health problems and is having serious difficulties getting down from the second floor of the building where she lives, in Santa Lucia di Cava de’ Tirreniand despite the fact that two years have passed since the first request to obtain the installation of the long-awaited elevator, not a shred of a response has ever arrived from the agency that inherited the former Autonomous Institute for Public Housing.

It was the son of who wrote to Acer Carmela Ferrarathe 86-year-old “prisoner”. The first email dates back to December 6, two years ago. «It is required – the heartfelt appeal of Anthony D’Amico – saccording to the regulations for the removal of architectural barriers for people with reduced and impaired motor and sensory skills, the installation of a lift in the building at number 72 of via Giuseppe Vitale, leased to Mrs. Ferrara Carmela». To the email, which remained unanswered, Mrs. Ferrara’s son attached the documentation requested pursuant to Law 104 of the tenants who live inside the building, which hosts more than one person living with a disability. In January and February 2023, the second and third requests were then sent. The result did not change: no response ever reached the sender.
