(DEFENDANT)

MR SIMON CORDELL

DIRECTIONS ORDER

Telephone call received from Mr Cordell
22/11/2016
I received a call from Simon Cordell of 109
Burncroft Avenue at approx. 1.20pm. The call was
transferred by the customer services team
informing me that Mr Cordell wished to discuss
his housing options/how to move. I took the call -
he sounded agitated and said that he had a few
things that he wished to discuss with me. He said
he was calling in response to a letter that I had
sent him requesting the removal of a CCTV
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
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
