SWIMMING pool and spa facilities have been closed at a Sandown hotel on the order of environmental health officers — after fears were raised guests could be exposed to Legionnaires’ disease.
The Isle of Wight Council confirmed it had launched an investigation at the Melville Hall Hotel and Utopia Spa in Sandown.
It said high levels of Legionella bacterium, which causes Legionnaires’ disease, had been found in the pool and hot tubs.
