Pochin's has been chosen to build a new care village development in Birkdale, Southport.

The four-storey development will be developed on Oxford Road for care provider Belong and accommodate over 100 people once completed by the end of 2019.

Features will include 30 one and two-bedroom independent living apartments and six households where 24-hour support will be provided. Each household will comprise 12 spacious suites opening out onto open plan living, dining and kitchen areas.

Pochin's Chief Executive Officer, Jim Nicholson, said: "Given their focus on supporting families and local communities, working with Belong has always felt like a great match for Pochin's. This announcement continues a solid start to 2018 for us, with a strong project pipeline building for the coming months."
