made and the locks subsequently changed (the tenant had
been notified previously that we would be taking this action
if he did not provide access).
We entered the property so that Steve Stirk could test the
water taps in the kitchen and bathroom. There was no
flooring laid except for a rug in the living room (the kitchen
was accessed through here) and the floorboards made a
significant amount of noise as we stepped on them.
The resident from the property underneath, Mr Simon
Cordell, heard us in the property and came upstairs. Steve
Stirk and I were outside the property at this point as the
locksmith started to undertake the work to install new locks
on to the door (he was inside the hallway).
Mr Cordell proceeded to ‘rant’ at Steve Stirk and me about
his perceived victimisation by his neighbours. He was very
agitated and loud - recounting his experience with the police,
previous housing management, a previous partner, a
previous neighbour and allegations of anti-social behaviour
made against him.
Steve Stirk tried to explain that we were there to deal with a
specific issue and that this was not the time or place to
address these concerns. Mr Cordell did not want to listen and
became fixated on Steve Stirk being ‘dismissive’ towards
him (Mr Cordell’s words). He went on at length about his
upstairs neighbours, both past and present on first and
second floors,
‘banging’ hammers deliberately above his head.
He continued to go on, in his agitated state, about how he
had been treated by the police and previous housing
managers who had promised him that they would re-lay the
floor of flat 113 but had not done so. At this point the
resident from 117, Mr Mathiyalakan Markandu, came down
the stairs on his way out of the building. As he came down
past us Mr Cordell focussed his attention on him and said to
him: Tm going to the police station now with my evidence
about you and I’m going to ruin your life’. Mr Mathiyalakan
Markandu did not respond and proceeded to walk past and
go down the stairs and out of the building.
Both Steve Stirk and I commented to Mr Cordell that the
way he had behaved was threatening in nature and was not
acceptable. Mr Cordell responded, 'it's not a threat it’s a
fact’. He then continued to repeat his history with the police
and previous housing management.
