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 this
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 about
other cases but my position remains as per the
letter I sent: That the camera was in breach of
tenancy conditions, was invasive to the privacy of
other residents in the block as it points at the outer
communal door and should be removed by Friday

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 previous action taken. He then
came on to more recent events and stated that
there had been an incident between him and
another resident where she had shouted at him out
of her window because of him starting up a
scrambler bike in his garden. He maintained that
he was courteous during the exchange but the
police came and arrested him because she told
them that he had threatened to kill her and that he
had been put in the mental hospital, had won his
