thinks these situations are misinterpreted by the
council and the mental health services and her
son is then seen as the perpetrator and or being
mentally unwell. Ms Cordell stated that the
sound proofing is lacking and the noise is real.
Other neighbours have made allegations that Mr
Cordell has been aggressive towards them. She
said that there is no evidence of this; police have
seen CCTV and found that her son had not left
the flat at the time when these incidents were
alleged to have happen. Ms Cordell gave another
example in 2016 where it was alleged by a
neighbour that her son had made threats to kill
him. She said that the police initially charged her
son with making threats to kill; after seeing
video evidence they charged him with a ‘Public
Order Offence’. She said that around the time of
this alleged incident her son was in his flat with
some friends. Her son was not allowed to his flat
and was bailed to her flat where he stayed until
December 2016. She said that the CPS after
seeing evidence dismissed the case a day before
the trial. She said that the council has never
taken the responsibility to look at evidences; the
allegations made against her son (physical
assault, letting his dog on the loose) have not
been proven. She said that on the 9th August in
court the Judge ordered Enfield Council to move
her son to a 2-bedroom flat but the Council
wants/plans to evict him instead. She said that
the Council has no grounds to apply for her son’s
eviction.
She said that her son has a one bedroom flat. She
said that he does not want to live there. She said
that he needs a 2-bedroom flat with the plan that
his cousin could stay with him to provide
emotional support. She said that her son has
everything he needs in the flat. She told me that
her son is very independent in activities of daily
living; his personal care is extremely good; he
cooks for himself, maintains the flat and takes
responsibility for his bills. She told me that he
has no financial difficulties/no debts.
She said that her son has a work history. In 2010
he was planning to set up a business in the
entertainment industry. He has also built
websites in relation to this. At present he is not
in employment. He is in receipt of Employment
