Guest Dies from Contracting Legionella from Shropshire Hotel


Daily Mail Article

The death of a Grandmother who contracted legionella at the The Feathers hotel in July has resulted as what appears to be a lack of control measures undertaken by hotel's management.

The family have now instructed Irwin Mitchell Solicitors to investigate the circumstances around her death and how this could have been prevented.

Another guest allegedly also contracted the disease whilst staying at the hotel during April this year, to which the lady in her 70's has now made a full recovery.

This will act as a stark reminder that those in charge of premises have a Duty of Care to the public and need to be able to demonstrate that they have procedures in place and undertake adequate control measures.

It will now be or the courts to decide.
