Summary
Glasgow’s city center night shelter, run by The Homeless Project Scotland, faces closure as council officials recommend rejecting its planning application—citing crime and anti-social behavior concerns since it opened last December. Despite serving over thirty people nightly and feeding hundreds, the charity’s founder Colin McInnes calls the move “barbaric,” urging councillors to reconsider amid a worsening homelessness crisis. Previous rejections based on similar grounds have been followed by resubmissions—including expanded soup kitchen details—but officials remain unmoved. With tents handed out nightly and temporary housing secured for many, the shelter’s fate rests with the planning committee next week.
