Fly swarms from the Shows Waste Management site in Slack Lane, Derby, have left residents facing difficulties cooking and cleaning for weeks. Shows has removed 3,018 tonnes of waste but because of "weather and transport", about "700 to 1,000" tonnes remain. The agency has begun an investigation into the cause of the swarms.
