Big expansion plans have been approved for a Southport respite hotel catering for people with disabilities.
Sandpipers, based next to Marine Lake in Fairway, Southport is run by charity Revitalise which provides holiday accommodation and support for people with disabilities looking for a seaside stay.
As part of the charity’s plans, which were submitted to Sefton Council in June, the hotel aimed to increase its capacity by a total of 12 beds.
