During a programme to tidy up the Scottish city of Edinburgh, the city council tried to isolate areas that local people felt had a problem with litter and graffiti, and required particular focus. Individuals were approached in public places, and with the use of maps, asked to pinpoint areas they viewed as trouble spots. The author highlights the benefits of this successful operation.
