Residents in Leicester Forest East village are facing a severe fly infestation, leaving them feeling trapped in their homes. The ongoing battle with flies has worsened this summer, disrupting outdoor activities and forcing families to relocate gatherings indoors. The issue is blamed on a local recycling centre, exacerbated by higher temperatures and less frequent bin collections. Residents are overwhelmed by the pests, resorting to flytraps to manage the problem. The community is frustrated as the situation persists despite efforts to address it. Efforts are being made by the Environment Agency to ensure the recycling centre complies with regulations and minimises the impact on residents.
