Dear Ms Cordell,
Please see below as requested the details of recent allegations made against Mr Simon
Cordell. I have listed the complainants as Complainant A, B and C.
1. On 6th August 2016 Complainant A reported that Simon Cordell, his neighbour at flat 109
is threatening him and his wife and aggressively demanding money from him. He alleged that
Mr Cordell called his wife ‘a bitch’ and tried to stop him from going up the stairs to his flat.
He also alleged that in July 2016, someone used a knife to puncture his tyres, all 4 of them,
that he believes that the tyres were slashed by Simon, that although he did not see Simon do it
but he was quite
certain that it was him. He also alleged that Mr Cordell damaged the lock to his electric
cupboard and removed his fuse box resulting in no electricity.
2. On 5th October 2016 Complainant B reported that Mr Cordell has been harassing him for
a while in relation to alleged noise disturbances from his flat. He alleged that the previous
day on 4/10/16, Simon was banging on his ceiling and later came upstairs and started kicking
his door and shouting aggressively. He alleged that Simon then went downstairs dragged his
motorbike from where he parked it and started smashing it up. He then called the police. He
also stated that Mr Cordell had previously slashed his motorbike tyres with a knife, that he
did not report it as he did not see him do it.
3. On 31st October 2016 telephone call received from another resident on behalf of
Complainant C. He alleged that Complainant C’s neighbour, Simon was using threatening,
abusive and insulting words towards Complainant C. He stated that he witnessed an incident
that happened in September 2016 outside the block when Simon shouted abuse at
Complainant C and made threats towards him.
4. On 4th November 2016 met with Complainant C to discuss his concerns following the
report from another resident. He stated the first incident happened sometime in July 2016,
that he cannot remember the exact date. He alleged that he was approached by Mr Cordell as
he came out of his front door and he started shouting abuse at him and threatened to burn
down his flat. He alleged that the second incident happened in September 2016. He stated
that he was on his way to meet a friend when Mr Cordell came at him ‘ranting and raving’
and said to him ‘I can get you over at the park, I know you go for a walk’. He stated that two
other neighbours witnessed the incident and that one of them told Mr Cordell to leave him
alone. Complainant C also complained that Mr Cordell have installed a CCTV on the internal
communal door and that he believes that he is monitoring his every move. He asked that the
camera be removed as it is making him to feel very nervous, vulnerable and uncomfortable
and is an invasion of his privacy.
5. On 11th November 2016 the Neighbourhood Officer met with Complainant A to discuss
his allegations against Mr Cordell. He stated that some of the recent incidents happened on
6/8/16 at 6pm, 27/9/16 at 11.45pm and 28/9/16 at 5.30pm. He stated that the incidents
include, threatening behaviour, intimidation and aggressively demanding money. He alleged
that Mr Cordell has physically threatened him in the past with a piece of wood. He also
alleged that Mr Cordell has a big dog that always barks when someone comes into the block.
He complained that Mr Cordell has a camera in the internal communal door facing the main
entrance door to the block. He stated that he believes that Mr Cordell is using the camera to
monitor when people come in or out of the block and that it makes him
2902,
very uncomfortable and requested for the camera to be removed.
