A Sefton councillor has been given permission to open a children’s home in the borough, as long as she agrees only to accept children from the local authority.
Labour Cllr Nina Killen, who represents Ravenmeols, submitted a planning application to Sefton Council requesting permission for her company, Kilter Care Ltd, to change the use of a four bedroom house in Sonning Avenue, Litherland, from residential to a children’s home.
The home would accommodate up to three children aged between 16 and 18 in a supported living arrangement, with one carer staying overnight and working on a 48-hour rota basis according to planning documents.
