Scaled-down Louth hospice plan submitted
Organisers who want to build a new hospice in a Lincolnshire town have submitted scaled-down plans to the district council.
Fundraising for the Louth hospice began 10 years ago but stalled after running into a funding shortfall.
A decision on the plans for a six-room facility will be made by East Lindsey District Council within eight weeks.
The Louth and District Hospice chairman Dale Cromblehome said he hoped the day hospice could open within a year.
The charity was not able to raise enough money for a large residential hospice that was originally proposed for the site.
The new plans call for a six-bed day hospice just off the A16.
Mr Cromblehome said: "The proposal is for something we can afford with the funds that we have raised… with the possibility of adding a residential element on to the back."
