Sarah Fletcher from the council claims that on
22nd November 2016
during a telephone conversation between you, Mrs Cordell
your mother and Ms. Sarah Fletcher, neighbourhood officer,
Ms. Fletcher reported that she overheard you threaten her by
saying 'I'm going to do her over' and then I’ am going to take
her job just for fun'.
This is a copy of the Council’s memo of a telephone call
on that day: --
I received a call from Simon Cordell of 109 Burncroft
Avenue at approx. 1.20pm. The call was transferred by the
customer services team informing me that Mr. Cordell
wished to discuss his housing option show to move. I took
the call- he sounded agitated and said that he had a few
things that he wished to discuss with me. He said he was
calling in response to a letter that I had sent him requesting
the removal of a CCTV camera that he had installed on the
inner communal/fire door on the ground floor of the block.
He informed me that he would not be removing the camera
as he believed he was legally allowed to have the camera as
the communal area was his. I explained that he was in
breach of his tenancy conditions as permission had not been
sought or granted for the installation and he could not install
anything in the communal area as these belonged to the
Council. He maintained that his neighbour in another block
had a camera and had taken the Council to court about it and
won the case, I responded that I could not comment on other
cases, but my position remains as per the letter I sent That
the camera was in breach of tenancy conditions, was
invasive of the privacy of other residents in the block as it
points at the outer communal door and should be removed
by Friday 25th November or the Council will remove it and
charge him for the cost of doing so. He then said that the
camera was fake, so it didn't need to be removed. I
responded that it did still need to be removed. His voice was
raised throughout the exchange and I had to ask him to calm
down and lower his voice more than once. He then said that
he wanted to move on to finding out about moving to
another address. He proceeded to give me a full history of
his experiences with the police and previous housing
management and alleged that 'Jackie', who had previously
lived above him and 'Stan', his immediate neighbour on the
ground floor, had victimised him over a long period of time
and that he had done nothing wrong. This history was very
full and it was difficult to get a word in because he was so
worked up so I let him relay the information to me as it
seemed like he wanted to get it off of his chest. He was very
derogatory about the police and previous housing staff who
had signed a request for an Asbo application against him. I
told him that I could not comment about the previous action
