Night shelter for homeless is axed
A night shelter for Glasgow's homeless has been axed after a funding cut.The Salvation Army's Laurieston Centre will no longer provide emergency accommodation to people forced to sleep on the streets.
The night service was targeted for closure in April, but Glasgow City Council agreed to give extra cash to keep it open for a further two months.
But the charity was unsuccessful in finding an alternative funding partner to secure the long-term future of the shelter.
