felt the problem could have something to do with
Debra Andrews a resident named she has since
moved Mr. Curtis made a reference to Simon
Cordell boasting in having something to do with
her departure. Stain Curtis was trying to re call
events and said it could have been in the month of
July, -when Simone Cordell shouted abuse and
swore at him and threatened to burn his flat down
Mr. Curtis did not call the housing or police to
report the threat. His friend, another resident who
did not want his name mentioned said that It was
on 6th July. Mr. Curtis could not quite remember
when the second incident occurred-but said that it
was around mid-September. Simon Cordell
approached Mr. Curtis outside of side his flat,
when Mr. Curtis was on his way to the fields - and
threatened. him. A lady called Karen also a
resident of Burncroft witness the threat and asked
Mr. Cordell to the leave the old an alone with
encouragement from other residents – Mr. Curtis
called the police a few days after the threat to
make a report. Mr. Curtis said the police a lot of
police some with riot gear entered his flat with
officers posted to the front and rear of the
building. They managed to coax Mr. Cordell out
of his flat and arrested him. The case. has since
been heard in court and Simone Cordell pleaded
not guilty. He has been bailed with conditions - to
stay away from Mr. Curtis and also not to enter
the Burncroft area. Mr. Curtis is required to stand
as a witness in court on the 17th Nov 2016.
However, Mr. Curtis is feeling quite anxious and
feels there may be reprisals to him giving
evidence, I asked Mr. Curtis if he would like me
to attend the hearing in support, he said yes, he
would not mind. I also visited another resident
Christine -to get her account of things. Action
Contact the witness service and arrange a pre-
court trial visit and other assistance. Possibly
arrange transportation on the day of the hearing+
and for the pre-court trial visit. Any other
assistance/support we can provide Mr. Curtis
