## Resource

Sileby’s residents are in a buzzing nightmare as a massive fly infestation turns daily life unbearable—windows can’t be opened, food can’t be put out, and 20 flies in the living room is the new normal. This summer’s outbreak, the worst in years, has locals desperate for relief after sprays and candles fail. Blaming nearby Sunrise Poultry Farms, Charnwood Borough Council has ramped up insecticide use and waste inspections after discovering a potential breeding shed. The Environment Agency is now on board, investigating and collaborating to fix the mess. Authorities are watching closely—and locals can report concerns via a hotline. This is no fly-by-night problem; it’s a full-blown community emergency with a targeted fix in progress.
