Tucked at the rear of a small side road in Swansea is the latest piece of hardware in the battle against homelessness. Four new pods have been sited on land off Walter Road, Uplands, by the former Bryn House adult education centre.
Two on top, two below, they cater for single people and couples in need of temporary accommodation. They have been open for about three weeks, and three are already occupied.
The Local Democracy Reporting Service was given access to the fourth, comprising a bedroom, kitchen-living room and bathroom. The kitchen has all of the basics, it's clean and energy-efficient, there's a small television, and the furnishing is fairly simple. You can read more stories about Swansea here.
