The two bespoke homeless “pods” in the Hereford Country Bus Station have been quietly relocated.
Launched in December, the 2.4 by 1.8-metre Herefordshire Council-designed temporary pods were to meet the needs of local rough sleepers over winter.
Two were to stand against a wall at the bus station until April, with two more alongside a mobile classroom in the nearby Symonds Street car park which was also converted for the same use.
But the council withdrew its planning application to itself for the bus station pods, which have now been removed.
There now appear to be four at the car park, where the council had specified two in its application.
Confirming this, a Herefordshire Council spokesperson said: “The pods were moved to where support could be put in place more efficiently and effectively.”
