'It is a disgrace that we are getting charged for collecting food for the hungry and vulnerable.'
A Glasgow soup kitchen is appealing eight fines issued by the council for driving along bus lanes to collect food for the city’s most vulnerable.
Colin McInnes, chairman of the Homeless Project Scotland, said: “We have written to Glasgow City Council asking for fines to be waived because we need to go down these lanes to collect food for the soup kitchen. “I wrote back to the council and said the last time I checked, babies and hungry children crying in a queue waiting for food was an emergency.
Glasgow City Council has confirmed that the project is already exempt from the bus gate and parking restrictions on Argyle Street to help them operate their soup kitchen.
