Definitely Cornbrook. Every time I've been there there's either been plain clothes cops or ticket wardens pestering someone. One time a guy just walked away from them mid conversation and there was nothing they could do lmao.

Just looking at that salary for that job. I would have thought Head of Cyber Security for the Treasury I would have thought was a pretty important job!
I've got friends earn £20k more than that doing cyber security for hotels.

(I haven't actually read the full job spec etc so maybe the job isn't want the title suggests).

The civil service is a many layered and complex beast. Whoever gets this could be running Cyber Security for one small building dealing entirely in paper records, be a Head of one team sitting under a Head of department, sitting under an Associate Director, sitting under a Director, sitting under a CSO etc, or they could be running the whole shop.

From the salary it looks like quite a junior Head of role to me - probably managing a small team to look after a specialist area of some kind.

Perhaps it's job title inflation, and 'head' of cyber security effectively means junior trainee and the actual head has a job title like god-emperor of cyber security or something.

2. More cops.

My first job was in a call centre, a B2B IT helpdesk, y'know, someone from a client phones & I jot down the details in the software & pass the report on to the relevant team who'd actually do something, after asking if they'd tried turning it off & on yet. Eventually I ended up on the Out of Hours team & obviously not being in the office at the same time as most people you get isolated. So we all just described ourselves as call centre monkeys, even though technically we did more than the day time staff as they had all these 4th tier people like Incident Managers & we did all that ourselves (without a requisite pay bump obviously), actually calling out the support teams & liasing with the managers at the client on a major outage & all that poo poo. But eventually you started to see all that job title role, they were no longer Helpdesk Staff, they were IT Service Centre Analysts. Analysts? Some of these people couldn't analyse their way to tying their own shoe lace but I suppose it made people feel important & surely that's more important than a payrise

It's apparently designed for places too dense for trees, and also for heavily polluted areas, because while car exhaust can poison trees, algae is comparatively resistant.
I suppose one could also install those indoors, although I wonder how bad the smell is.
