Parents of pupils at a school closed following an E coli scare will get the chance to question health experts at an open meeting tonight.
Feltham Hill Infant and Nursery School, in Bedfont Road, Feltham, shut its doors last Wednesday after two children were diagnosed with the infection.
But some parents have raised concerns that Feltham Hill Junior School, on the same site, has remained open.
Mum Lisa Brum said she has children at both schools, and fears the infection could spread between the two.
A spokesman for Hounslow Council said parents will be able to quiz children’s services and environmental health staff along with representatives from the Health Protection Agency in the hall at Feltham Hill Junior School at 6pm tonight.
The primary school remained closed today, and will not re-open until all pupils and staff have tested negative for the infection.
Parents should contact their GP immediately if they are concerned their child has symptoms of the bug.
For more information call NHS Direct on 0845 46 47.
