A small group of rough sleepers have been bedding down in the covered car park by Swansea Arena. Six people were said in a Swansea Council report to be sleeping there, but two have since been found accommodation.
Two tents were tucked away in an alcove-type area in the arena car park at lunchtime on January 31. A couple of empty Pot Noodle cartons were left outside, but no-one was in. Councillors attending a scrutiny meeting were told that efforts were being made to resolve the matter and remove the rough sleepers, while offering them support.
Huw Mowbray, the council's development and physical regeneration manager, said: "That needs to happen - it is causing issues." He added that there weren't any events currently at the flagship entertainment venue alongside the car park at the moment.
