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
