Mr Simon Cordell will state that this location was being occupied under section 144 and also
               has self-contained warehouse on it, evidence supplied in case bundles this is not open to air
               land.
               Officer Aaron King States: There was a large sound system to the rear which was amplified
               though I could not see any power source.
               Mr Simon Cordell will state that he this proves the fact that music could not have been made
               by anyone spoken to by police.
               Officer AAaron King States: There was a number of people wearing yellow hi-vis jackets
               who Mr. Cordell stated were first aiders and there was a pallet of water near to the sound
               system as well as a couple of tents closer to the gates.
               "Mr Simon Cordell will state that a female who had just past her first aid test, who is a
               occupier of the land was present, wearing a yellow hi vest jacket as it was cold and a

               load of yellow hi - vest jackets had been donated and he does remember everybody
               present talking about her doing so. "

               Officer AAaron King States: I could see no obvious Toilet facilities nor shelter from what
               had been forecast as a stormy night. Inside the venue mostly just stood around in small
               groups were about 30 people, mostly teenagers.
               Mr Simon Cordell will state that no police officers walked into the part of the building being
               occupied were there was running water and toilets.
               Officer AAaron King States: Mr Cordell stated he was an entrepreneur and was awaiting
               licenses from the council so that he would soon be legitimate.
               Mr Simon Cordell will state that he was and still does intended to create a festival if this
               ASBO case stops darkening his name.
               Officer AAaron King States: When I explained all the "ingredients" for a rave were present
               Mr. Cordell began to try and argue his point that it was not a rave and that it was a private
               party. I spoke at length with Mr. Cordell explaining the legal situation and how by definition
               this was a rave and that ultimately there were too few people present at the time to stop police
               and so on this occasion I could act and close the rave. Mr Simon Cordell will state that at no
               point of time did he take part in any form of Anti-Social behaviour neither did he organize or
               hire any equipment or was he attending a rave on the 9th June 2014 in regards to the
               allegations presented within the ASBO application, he did attended a friends birthday dinner
               party as a guest.
               Officer AAaron King States: Whilst on an industrial estate it was my opinion that such was
               the proximity to local housing and my knowledge of the volume music is played and the
               duration it is played for, often throughout the weekend that a rave would constitute serious
               disruption.
               Mr Simon Cordell will state that Google Earth shows the closest house to Mill Marsh Lane
               the premises in question, to be one mile from the closest house. (Exhibit)
               Officer AAaron King States: Mr. Cordell was clearly not happy but did not want his
               equipment seized so agreed to start packing up the sound equipment.
               Mr Simon Cordell will state that as noted by officers and officer AAaron King he was present
               in a ford focus and with three empty welding cylinders, so he could not have been carrying
               any sound equipment as this would not have fitted into his vehicle.
