Alexander Thomson Hotel The number of homeless people accommodated in hotels during the lockdown has reduced by around a quarter. At its peak there were around 600 homeless people people in B&B and hotel accommodation in Glasgow. The council said that has been reduced by around 150 as people are found accommodation working with social landlords. It is expected it will reduce even further as more people are offered settled accommodation. One of the hotels used, the Alexander Thomson in Argyle Street, closed last month for refurbishment. All the people who were housed there were moved out to other spaces in the city.
