COMMUNITY police officers have been getting involved in Glasgow City Council's 'Week of Action' in Anderston.
Yesterday, we reported that the city centre area is the latest location to receive a week-long scrubbing.
This morning, cops joined council employees as they carried out a deep clean, including weed removal.
Your local Community police are out and about in Yorkhill and Anderston all week along with @GlasgowCC. In these areas there will be deep cleans, weed removal as well as targeting littering, fly tipping, graffiti and reducing anti-social behaviour.

Enforcement officers will also be present to monitor litter dropping and ensure dog poo is being lifted.
Councillor Ruairi Kelly, Glasgow's convener for neighbourhood services and assets, said: “It’s great to see the Weeks of Action tackling environmental issues in communities across the city.
"The council has recruited 50 new members of staff to its deep clean team which is working alongside the Week of Action crews in Anderston and together they are making a real difference."
Tomorrow a community litter-picking session will take place.
A spokesperson for Glasgow City Council said: "Anderston residents are welcome to join our community litter-pick in Kent Road and surrounding streets on Wednesday, October 12, from 10.30am-1pm.
"Litter-picking equipment will be supplied and anyone keen to take part should meet our Clean Glasgow team at Kent Road, outside Glasgow Gaelic School."
