More than a quarter of a million pounds is to be spent converting a property in Tuebrook into a Liverpool Council children’s home.
In February, Cllr Frazer Lake, cabinet member for social care and health, said as the number of children going into residential care increased during the Covid-19 pandemic, the local authority wants to provide a localised offer for young people needing care. Now, cash is being spent to renovate a four-bed property of Tynwald Hill to support young people with specific mental health needs.
A report to cabinet has outlined how Liverpool Council intends to allocate £268,000 of capital funds for a contract with TJM Projects. The figure includes £235,000 building costs, £25,000 for fixtures and fittings and £8,000 contingency allowance.
