Zagreb residents outraged by neighborhood conditions: 'It's a shame to invite friends over'

Residents of the Sveta Klara neighborhood in Novi Zagreb are voicing strong dissatisfaction with the perceived neglect and deteriorating conditions in their area. Complaints shared on social media highlight a lack of attention from authorities, leading to issues that residents feel are both unsightly and potentially dangerous.

One significant concern raised is a damaged manhole cover, described as a potential hazard for pedestrians and cyclists. A resident shared a photo of the open manhole, urging fellow community members to be cautious and calling on the local council to take immediate action before someone gets injured. The resident expressed fear of falling, particularly while riding a scooter.

Further adding to the residents' frustration is the state of the neighborhood's entrance from Remetinečka Road. One resident described it as resembling a "jungle," filled with debris and unkempt vegetation. This resident lamented the lack of basic amenities like sidewalks and a park, stating, "It's a shame to invite friends over." The overall sentiment is one of disappointment and embarrassment regarding the neighborhood's appearance and upkeep.
