Families who have had to seek emergency accommodation after being made homeless are being forced to live for months in an isolated airport hotel in cramped rooms with no cooking facilities or fridges.
People in desperate situations are being housed at the Holiday Inn Express in Rhoose beside Cardiff Airport, which has been entirely taken over by the Vale of Glamorgan Council as emergency housing. They told WalesOnline they have been given rooms where the windows are permanently locked shut and have no access to fridges, cookers or laundry facilities.
Those staying inside the hotel have said that there are now at least 100 people there who have found themselves homeless in the last year. Most of the people who spoke to us became homeless when their landlords issued them eviction notices because they wanted to sell their homes.
