A Nottingham resident has been forced to leave her home due to a severe fly infestation believed to be originating from a neighboring flat where a man's body was found. The woman, who lives with her one-year-old daughter, claims the council's lack of action is exacerbating the situation.
A Nottingham mum has been forced to leave her home after it was plagued by flies following a harrowing discovery in a neighbouring flat. A number of residents living in flats in Iona Gardens, Top Valley, Nottingham , have had their homes infested by the insects and have called on Nottingham City Council for help.
"Someone had passed away in the block of flats, we don't know how long he was in there for, but when he was taken out by police they let the council know it needed to be cleaned."After that I started to notice a few flies in my property, which is unusual. In my flat I had closed my windows but they were somehow still getting in through the floor or somehow. It is so disgusting, but it is much worse for my neighbour who lives underneath the flat.
The 22-year-old woman, who has lived at Iona Gardens since 2021, criticised what she saw as lack of action by the council. "They told me to pay for pest control but that didn't seem right. They had told us they were going to clean it on Monday, but they still haven't come out - they've told us they can't do anything until they get the key from the man's next of kin or the police.
