A Workington soft play centre says it's business as usual after it was forced to close for two days.

Planet Play, on Blackwood Road, and other properties in the area were infested by harmless cluster flies.

Planet Play made the decision to close on Monday and Tuesday while the issue was resolved by pest control experts.

Maria Baker, Planet Play owner, said: "We reacted quickly and did the right thing by closing while the problem was sorted, it wasn’t ideal for the children. Now we’ve reopened and it’s business as usual.

It is understood other properties in the area have also been affected by a large number of flies.
