recounting his experience with the police,
previous housing management, a previous partner,
a previous neighbour and allegations of anti-social
behaviour made against him-
Steve Stirk tried to explain that we were there to
deal with a specific issue and that this was not the
time or place to address these concerns. Mr
Cordell did not want to listen and became fixated
on Steve Stirk being ‘dismissive’ towards him (Mr
Cordell’s words). He went on at length about his
upstairs neighbours, both past and present on first
and second floors, ‘banging’ hammers deliberately
above his head.
He continued to go on, in his agitated state, about
how he had been treated by the police and
previous housing managers who had promised
him that they would re-lay the floor of flat 113 but
had not done so. At this point the resident from
117, Mr Mathiyalakan Markandu, came down the
stairs on his way out of the building. As he came
down past us Mr Cordell focussed his attention on
him and said to him: ‘I’m going to the police
station now with my evidence about you and I’m
going to ruin your life’. Mr Mathiyalakan
Markandu did not respond and proceeded to walk
past and go down the stairs and out of the
building.
Both Steve Stirk and I commented to Mr Cordell
that the way he had behaved was threatening in
nature and Was not acceptable. Mr Cordell
responded, ‘it’s not a threat it’s a fact’. He then
continued to repeat his history with the police and
previous housing management.
