Some of the residents in Leicester Forest East who say they've been plagued with flies since 2018People living in a Leicestershire village have said that they "dread coming home" due to an invasion of flies which has bugged them for years.
The difficulties in pinpointing the cause has left some residents feeling there is no end in sight to the problem, which they say has become worse every year and forced some of their neighbours to move out of the village altogether. "It's impacting our family life. We used to be really sociable, but we now have to go to our friends' homes because they don't have flies."She added: "It's actually now referred to as Leicester Fly East, rather than Leicester Forest East. The house prices are going down.
"I couldn't go anywhere to get away from it," she said. "The only place I could be was at home or in the garden. You are constantly battering 200 or 300 flies a day.Mrs Rigley added the problem was so bad that her GP wrote a letter during the pandemic recognising the impact it was having on her emotionally."I have a physical condition where I can't chase the flies around. My two boys can't either because they are in a wheelchair.
