The South Central Neighbourhood Partnership will tonight discuss the best way to approach the perceived begging problem in Edinburgh.
We gave you the opportunity to share your thoughts last week in our interactive poll.
Here are the results, which show the level of support for each of the partnership's proposals:
Provide donation boxes across the city 4.3%
Carry out a survey to find out the needs of the beggars 8.7%
Carry out regular audits to monitor the presence of beggars, their activity and any trends 17.4%
Evaluate what literature and information is available and in what languages 2.2%
Work in partnership with other agencies, police, voluntary bodies and the local health authority 34.8%
Employ a part-time project worker to engage, support and assist beggars to look for alternatives 32.6%
Thanks to all of you who took part.
Guardian Edinburgh's Nick Eardley will be tweeting from the meeting tonight and will bring you a full report tomorrow.
