A homeless man has been told not to bring his dogs along when he sells The Big Issue on The Moor in Sheffield.
Mark Sherrington says he's being discriminated against by the owners of the shopping area, and says he now can't afford to eat.
But Aberdeen Asset Management - which owns The Moor - says all Big Issue sellers are asked not to bring their dogs as they could cause nuisance or distress to passers-by.

Nick Clegg has hit out at Sheffield City Council for cutting down tress in Rustlings Road in the early hours of this morning.
Image source, PAHe said the way the council acted was 'inexcusable' and it will increase tension in the area.
The council says it carried out the work very early on the advice of police to make sure it could be done safely.
Quote MessageWhether you think the trees need to come down or not, the way the Council have acted is inexcusable. Sheffield's Labour leaders have shown that they willing to go to any lengths in their tree felling mission against the wishes of the community, using disproportionate and underhand tactics to get their own way. Relationships between residents and the Council are already strained over this issue and this will only inflame tensions further."

Heavy showers will cross the region during the afternoon, bringing a risk of hail and thunder.
