Exeter City Council said the pods for the homeless were temporarily closed over the festive period

Homeless pods in Exeter have been temporarily closed over the festive period due to "reduced staffing", the city council said.

Exeter City Council said all those currently using the pods, at Howell Road car park, had been made aware of the closure.

The structures offer a bed, a toilet, solar-powered lighting and a USB charging port through a service run by the council and partners.

The council said the service had been working with clients to "find alternative housing pathways".
