Through posts shared on social media and comments from residents in a Facebook group linked to the Los Montes de Valdespartera Neighborhood Association, they describe problems affecting both public roads and the common areas of residential buildings. The complaints range from damage to private vehicles to litter at tram stops, remnants of street drinking and antisocial behavior in parks and passageways.
In response to the situation, the association has encouraged residents to submit their complaints through Zaragoza City Council’s website and document the incidents. In cases of vandalism involving homes or cars, they also remind residents that the corresponding reports must be filed. The organization says it will continue collecting the testimonies sent to it in order to publicize them.
CONDOMS AND EXCREMENT IN COMMON AREAS
The complaints also extend inside buildings. Some residents say they have found condoms in entrances and elevators, as well as human excrement in common areas. The accumulation of waste in public spaces is a particular concern for those who use the parks daily. "It is impossible to go to the park with my baby or my dog without them eating some disgusting thing," one of the testimonies shared complains, also mentioning the presence of broken glass and food scraps.
Residents say that the problems with cleanliness and vandalism are compounded by noise and the high number of cars, as well as difficulties getting home by public transport.
