“Our volunteers are collecting food donations from noon until 10pm from all across Glasgow. If they are stuck in heavy traffic on Maryhill Road, they nip into the bus lane so they don’t miss out on getting 500 free sandwiches to feed the homeless. A spokesperson for Glasgow City Council said: “We have ensured 10 vehicles used by HPS are exempt from the bus gate and parking restrictions on Argyle Street to help them operate the soup kitchen under Central Station.
"We have offered advice on how to get to specific places without travelling in bus lanes and we also reduced the fines to the initial £30 charge, but that offer was rejected and the fines have since gone up in line with standard practice.
