A charity feeding rough sleepers in Glasgow has hit out at the council for giving them a parking ticket.
Homeless Project Scotland had parked their van on a city centre street while they set up their stall on Saturday evening before a parking warden slapped them with a fine.
Taking to social media, the charity shared its disappointment at the move.

They said: "Today while we where setting up our stall on Buchanan Street Glasgow we received a parking fine, trying to do a good job giving out SIM cards and chatting with the city and the parking warden thinks it's good to put a parking fine on our window.
"Well thanks Glasgow City Council, £30 charge to help the city."'
A number of supporters were quick to offer to pay the fine on behalf of the group.
We previously told how the charity is facing a 'crisis' over concerns that their fridge van could be too old to drive in the city's new Low Emission Zone.
The organisation says this would deter them from delivering fresh food to Glasgow's homeless and vulnerable.
The new zones come into effect on June 1, meaning all vehicles entering the LEZ area will need to meet less-polluting emission standards or face a penalty fee. The initial charge for all non-compliant vehicles in Scotland will be £60 - reduced by 50 per cent if paid within the first 14 days.
The Homeless Project Scotland has created a JustGiving page in the hope to gain enough funds for a new vehicle.
