16/12/2016: I met with Mr Quinton today at the Civic Centre to discuss his complaints
against Mr Simon Cordell. Mr Quinton stated that the problems started soon after he
moved into the block in April 2016. He stated that soon after he moved into his flat, he
went around to SC's flat to introduce himself. After he introduced himself, SC said to him
that there is some kind of war going on between him and other neighbours. SC also told
him that he's got a load of issues with the police and that he was trying to

sue them because he felt that they were treating him unfairly. He told SC that he was a
musician and that he does not want anything to do with his issues.
Straight after he moved in, SC will come up to his flat at least once a week to shout at him
and complain about loud banging from his flat and knocking pipes. SC would accuse him
of making noise on purpose to wind him up and he will always explain to him that it is not
true, that he does not make any banging noises inside his flat and that he cannot explain
why the pipes were making knocking noises.
Mr Quinton stated that on 4/10/16, he was sleeping when SC started to bang on his ceiling
but he ignored him. SC then came up and started kicking at his door and he still ignored
him. SC then went downstairs, dragged Mr Quinton's motorbike from where he parked it,
threw it on the ground and started to hit it with what he believed to be a mop pole, he is not
sure how many times he hit it. He then called the police and they came and took him away,
CAD No. 3309/4 Oct. 2016.
On 11/12/16, SC came up to his flat 3 times to shout abuse and complain about noise from
his flat.
Mr Quinton explained that the first time, he was running a bath when SC came and
knocked on the door to complain about knocking pipes. He did not open the door and he
shouted abuse at him and his friends and called them homophobic names. He later came
back again to bang on his door and shout further abuse. He also made threatened him and
his exact words are 'I'm off curfew in 12 days, when I'm, I am coming for you', he shouted
further abuse and walked off. Mr Quinton stated that he is not sure why he came back the
second time but he assumed that it was because of the pipes again. He later came back
again the third time and this time he opened the door because he has had enough. SC
complained about noise from his flat and he told him that he was not making any noise. SC
then went on to tell him that he has been away for a long time and that his family was
coming to look after his dog. He asked SC if he knew anything about his bike and SC
replied 'You know what, I'm a grown man I'm not goanna lie, it was me that smashed your
bike and I was gutted that the stick broke and I couldn't smash it up more'. He then asked
SC about his tyres which was punctured with a knife and he denied cutting them. He then
explained to SC that the knocking pipes has nothing to do with him and that he does not
bang or make deliberate noise and he advised SC to play his music over the noise if it
happens again as there is nothing he can do about the pipes and the noise as it is the nature
of the building. SC said cool, fair enough and walked off and as he walked off, he turned
around and gave him a dirty look.
About a week later, 2 of his friends left his flat and a short while later he heard SC running
out of the front door. Soon after one of his friends called and told him that they have just
had a confrontation with SC in the street. His friend informed him that SC ran up to them
in the street and confronted his friend Jazz about the knocking pipe noises from his flat.
Jazz told SC that it has nothing to do with him. SC then head-butted Jazz and as Jazz fell
on the floor, SC jumped on top of him and started to punch him. His other friend Jevon
who was with Jazz at the time pulled SC off Jazz and held him until 2 Turkish men came
and separated them.
