I wrote and hand delivered letters to all 3 of the
properties requesting access for the Council
Surveyor to visit and assess the water pressure in
each on Friday 24th February 2017 between
10am and 12pm.
I spoke by telephone with Mr Irving, the
leaseholder of 117; who had instigated the water
pressure complaint who agreed that he would
attend and give access.
I spoke by telephone with Mr George Quinton, the
tenant of 113, who agreed that he would give
access.
I spoke by telephone with Lorraine Cordell,
mother of Simon Cordell, the tenant of 109 who
said that no one was available to give access.
I attended with Steve Stirk, surveyor, on Friday
24th February 2017 at 10am. We were given
access to 117 and Steve Stirk investigated the
water pressure to the taps in the kitchen and
bathroom.
We were unable to gain access to 113 as the tenant
was not home -1 called and left voicemail
messages for the tenant but did not get any further
response.
Steve Stirk suggested that we knock at 109 just on
the off chance that someone was home. Mr Simon
Cordell answered the door and, once Steve Stirk
had explained that we were investigating the low
water pressure/supply issue to the block, he
allowed us into the property.
While Steve Stirk checked the water pressure in
the kitchen, I introduced myself to Mr Cordell. He
then became quite agitated and proceeded to
regulate me with the same issues that he had
relayed to me during our previous telephone
conversation including issues about his
neighbours, the police and the Council conspiring
to ruin his life as well as his work arranging
community music events. He did not give me
much of an opportunity to respond and kept
talking over me when I tried to do so. Steve Stirk
then went and checked the bathroom taps which
he discovered were all already open (water
running in wash basin; water running in bath
which was full and going down overflow). We
then thanked Mr Cordell for his time and left the
property.
Outcome: It is unclear whether Mr Cordell
running all of the taps constantly is linked to the
issue of low water pressure as he is on the ground
