The city council has announced the temporary closure of homeless accommodation pods in Exeter throughout the festive period, attributing the decision to “reduced staffing.” Exeter City Council confirmed that all current occupants of the pods, located at Howell Road car park, were notified of the closure. These structures, which offer a bed, a toilet, solar-powered lighting, and a USB charging port, are part of a service operated by the council and its partners. The council stated that the service has been assisting clients to “find alternative housing pathways.” Copyright 2024 BBC. All rights reserved.
