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 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 case in court and was able to go home as of today.
                 He said that he wanted me to give him 'points' so that he could move.
                 I explained that his best means of moving would be through a mutual
                 exchange,  but  he  was  adamant  that  he  did  not  want  to  do  this  and
                 wanted to be moved in the same way that he moved into this property
                 1 l yrs. ago by being given points.
                 I explained that a transfer was unlikely based on what he had told me
                 so far but that I could look into the position for him.
                 He said a lot about his perceived victimisation by his neighbours and
                 expressed that he felt that I should I have a duty to protect him.
                 I explained that I had a responsibility to all residents living at Burncroft
                 Avenue and took the opportunity to mention that I had received some
                 reports about antisocial behaviour by him that I would need to discuss
                 with him but suggested that we leave that for today.
