They have been using the facilities at Newport Centre for washing and have been keeping their bedding in the lockers there.

Ms Talbot added: 'The chairs can't go down far because we need to make to to ensure we can all get in their to lie down properly.
'It has been quite uncomfortable. We park up at random places where we can get some quiet.
'It has been very cold.'
The family say that they have approached private landlords to try to find accommodation but they are unable to scrape together the money for a bond
We've approached private landlords but we have had no joy it's all about finding a bond.
We haven't got the cash coming in to do that as well.
'I have bid on properties from Newport City Homes (a local registered social landlord) but nothing has come of it.'
However, the family are hopeful they will get alternative accommodation soon after arranging a viewing on a property.
A Newport council spokeswoman said: 'Ms Talbot applied under the homeless provisions in July after her home was repossessed.
Her application was assessed correctly and a decision letter was issued on 17 July that accepted she was homeless but not in priority need. There is a right of appeal but this was not requested.
'Advice has been provided to Ms Talbot on numerous occasions including about housing benefit and options for alternative accommodation. We will continue to offer her advice and support as she seeks rehousing.
