A pensioner who was visiting a sick relative was appalled when his path into Glasgow Royal Infirmary was blocked by poorly parked cars.
Stuart Ferguson, who uses a walking stick due to health problems, was forced to ditch the footpath on Castle Street and walk around the cars on the roadway because there was no way for him to get through the tight gap.
The 76-year-old, from Glasgow, says he noticed some cars had even been slapped with parking tickets.
