Fears Old Swan children's home 'could impact pets and the elderly'

Changing a residential property into a children’s home on the east side of Liverpool could lead to an increase in anti-social behaviour, it has been claimed.

Proposals have been put forward to the city council to repurpose a residential dwelling on Stoneville Road, Old Swan, for the purposes of a Ofsted regulated children’s home. However, the plans have attracted criticism during a public consultation phase with the L13 community.

According to documents made public by Liverpool Council, the application seeks to remodel a two-storey mid terraced property on Stoneville Road, which is currently a single dwelling house. Under the plans put forward by Daniel Shapcott, the building would be repurposed into a children’s home to care for two young people aged between 10 and 18.
