But Megan King, 35, who uses the Knowle West Children’s Centre just a few yards from the building site, said she has no problem with the pods.
She said: “These people have to live somewhere and we should give them a chance of getting their lives back together whether they are ex-convicts for homeless people.
A Bristol Council spokesperson said: “The council is committed to using innovative solutions to help tackle the housing crisis and provide safe, sustainable and secure homes for everyone in the city.
