Grieving mothers have called for better support to be given to homeless people in hotels.

Linda McVean and Maureen Thomson joined a protest outside the City Chambers to highlight the conditions people are forced to endure in hotels in the city.

Body bags were laid out in front of the Chambers, ahead of a meeting of Glasgow City Council, to represent and remember the people who have died in the hotels.

Linda McVean’s son Frankie died in the Queen’s Park Hotel in May this year. He was 30 years old.

She said he did not have a drug problem when he was first moved there in November 2022.

But after six months of living in homeless hotels, he was found dead from a Valium overdose.

Linda, from Pollok, is calling for people to be given the support they need when in homeless accommodation and for the accommodation to be fit for people to live in.
