Subject: RE: Anti­Social Behaviour Allegations against Mr Simon Cordell [SEC=OFFICIAL]

Classification: OFFICIAL

Dear Ms Cordell,

The allegations are from at least three residents of Burncroft Avenue.

They have alleged that he is coming up to their front door to shout abuse and threats and they have provided
evidence to back up their allegations. Some of them have also alleged that he has confronted them outside
the block and on different occasion have followed them up the communal staircase shouting abuse and
threats and on at least one occasion have tried to prevent them from going up to their flat. They have also
provided evidence to back up the allegations.

I am aware that some of these incidents have been reported to the police and it is up to the police to deal
with them as they see fit. However irrespective of whether the accusations were dismissed by the police or
not, they are very serious allegations and if true, constitutes a breach of tenancy conditions and they need to
be addressed by the council. It is therefore very important that we meet with Mr Cordell to discuss the
allegations made against him and give him the opportunity to respond to them.

We are not aware that Mr Cordell’s neighbour allegedly “got around 7 of his friends” to intimidate and harass
him for no apparent reason. Mr Cordell did not report the incident to the council and I will advise him to
report it through the appropriate channel and provide the name and address of the neighbour to enable us to
investigate and take appropriate action. He should also report the matter to the police.

With regards to your concerns regarding the nature of the flooring in the two flats above your son’s. We have
inspected one of the flats and we have made an appointment to inspect the second flat. I will arrange for a
noise impact assessment to be carried out as soon as we complete our initial investigations to determine the
level of noise transmission and make appropriate recommendations if necessary. We will need access to Mr
Cordell’s flat to enable us to investigate this matter and we will contact him in due course to arrange access.

You have stated that it is not Mr Cordell that is harassing his neighbours and that it is his neighbours that is
harassing him. Could you please ask Mr Cordell to provide evidence of this to enable us to investigate and
take appropriate action if necessary.

Kind Regards
