To Whom It May Concern:

I am writing this letter as you have asked me for some information for my clam for housing benefit and council Tax.

From the 05/06/08 to the 18/07/08 I was sent to prison by Hertford Court they give me 12 weeks but I got early release from prison for being good, so was released on the 18/07/08 at this time I re applied for income support and housing benefit and council tax. At that time my mum was helping me live until my benefit was sorted and I started to get it again as I did not have any money to live on.

When I was in prison, I never needed money to live as they supplied all I needed when I was there.

It was only after my release 1 needed help from my mum until my benefit was sorted out,

Right now, you are paying no benefit for me and because I cannot pay all my rent it has gone up to over £1000, I owe so they are taking me to court to take my home away from me.

I have sent letters into you explaining this to you already along with a form you asked me to fill in but have had no reply from you as of yet. Would it please be possible to sort this matter out as fast as possible so I won’t lose my flat and also would it be possible for you to send me some sort of letter that I can show the housing that things are being dealt with.

Dear Mr S Cordell

Rent Arrears - Possession Order

Account Number: 497630

Following the Court Order made on 20th November 2007, I am writing to inform you that twenty-one days from the date of this letter, I intend to apply for an order to fix the date upon which you will be required to give up possession of your property.

The arrears at the date of the Postponed Possession Order were £124.43. The current arrears are £1081.90. This makes a shortfall of £1081.90. You have therefore failed to comply with the terms of the Order. This is shown in the enclosed rent statement.

I urge you to take this letter seriously, and contact me in writing, within ten working days of the date of this letter, either agreeing to the arrears, or disputing the stated arrears incurred since the Order was granted.

If you dispute the arrears, you must provide us with details of payments and credits made.

If you agree to the arrears, you must explain why payments have not been made since the Order was granted.

You have the right to apply to Court for a further postponement of the date for possession, or to ‘stay’ or suspend the enforcement of the Order.

Yours sincerely Mrs J Reader Income Officer

To Whom It May Concern:

I am writing this letter after a letter I got dated 18/07/2013 about my housing benefit and council tax being suspended from the 08/07/2013 due to you getting information as to me being in prison.

I was remanded to prison for I day and was released on the 28/06/2013.

I did call your offices on the 16/07/2013 to ask if my benefits for housing and council tax was still being paid due to me just finding out my D WP payments had been stopped. I was told on this date they were still being paid and the lady my mum spoke to on the phone told her that due to me having some issue I could get council tax reduction due to mental impairment and that the Lady would send out the paperwork.

I have put an appeal into the DWP about my claim being stopped and I am waiting to hear from them.

Since I got released from prison after one day on the 28/06/2013 I have had nothing to live on I have not got any food or gas or electric at my address for the last few days as it has now run out and I have no way to live until the DWP looks at my appeal.

I called the DWP today 24/07/2013 to see if there is any update on my claim and have been told as of to date there is no update. But they should have something in the next few days, I told them I have no way to live but they cannot speed anything up. They got my letter on the 19/07/2013 but it has yet to be scanned into their system.

I am therefore asking if my housing benefit and council tax can be put back into place so there are no missing payments within my claim.

Mr Simon Cordell

109 Burncroft Avenue Enfield Middlesex EN3 7JQ

We have looked again at our decision

You made an appeal against a decision about not being entitled to Income Support upon release from prison, issued to you on 09-Aug-2013.

We have looked again at the facts and evidence used to make our decision. As a result, we have changed that decision and have decided you retained your entitlement to Income Support following your release from prison but have no entitlement for the two

days you were in prison.

What happens now

Your appeal will not be sent to an independent tribunal as the decision has been changed in your favour.

As explained in our previous letter, if you still think the decision is wrong you have the right to appeal. You should normally appeal within one month of the date of that letter.

The Income Support payment section will be in touch to advise what happens next.

Yours sincerely,

S Anderson

I have been on incapacity/income support for many years now on the highest rate due to illness.

In April 2013 council tax changed their rules and a 19.5% needed to be paid unless exempt from this change.

As you will be aware the DWP has been in the process of changing everyone that was getting the old benefit incapacity benefit to the new benefit ESA, this should have all been completed by now, but due to things going wrong there is still people on incapacity that have not been moved over yet to the new Benefit ESA.

I am one of these people, but once they move me over, I will be in the support group of ESAs.

I have called the DWP many times and they cannot give me a timeline of the changeover.

Under the new rules I would be exempt from the 19.5% council tax, it is not my fault the DWP are not working fast enough to move people over the new benefits.

I would like to know the full policy for this and has this been taken into account when working out the new policies.

Surely if my benefits are still under the old policy, I should still be exempt.

Regards

Simon Cordell

Dear Mr Cordell

I refer to your enquiry regarding your request to be exempt from 19.5% Council tax liability.

According to our records, you are currently not in receipt of the required welfare benefit that would entitle you to full Council Tax Support.

Whilst I appreciate your comments regarding the delay in changing your benefit status, until I receive information from the Department of Work and Pensions that you are in receipt of the correct benefit that will give you full Council Tax exemption, I am unable to change my records and the 19.5% Council Tax liability remains payable.

I suggest that if you are still experiencing difficulty in paying this, that you apply on-line for a Council Tax hardship payment at enfield.gov.uk.

Dear Mr Cordell

Housing Benefit Notification

I have changed your Housing Benefit from 01/04/2013 to take account of new year benefit levels from April. I have decided that your benefit is now as follows:

£86.84 per week from 01/04/2013

How You Will Be Paid

Your benefit will be paid by directly crediting your rent account.

Notification of Council Tax Support

I have worked out your council tax support from 01/04/2013 to take account of new year benefit levels from April. I have decided that your benefit is now as follows:

£12.64 per week from 01/04/2013 How You Will Be Paid

£658.99 council tax support has been paid to your council tax account. The total amount of council tax support for 2013/14 is £658.99.

You will soon receive a Council Tax bill dated 14/03/13 that will tell you how much council tax you will now have to pay. On the back of the bill is a summary of how we have calculated your Council Tax.

Other Information

Appeal details for Housing Benefit, information on the Council Tax Support scheme and other information are included with this letter.

About Council Tax Support

In previous years the Government has funded a national Council Tax Benefit Scheme which may have meant you did not pay Council Tax. The Government is abolishing the national Council Tax Benefit Scheme from 1 April 2013.

In its place, councils have been asked to set up local support schemes for council tax but

Page 1 of 3

19

the Government has given less funding than it currently costs. In Enfield, the shortfall in funding is over £4m a year.

Despite this funding shortfall, Enfield Council has agreed a new local Council Tax Support Scheme based on the previous national benefit scheme with some amendments. Details of the new scheme are available on our website, www.enfield.gov.uk/counciltaxonline.

Your Council Tax Support award has been based on this new scheme.

How Council Tax Support is worked out

Council Tax Support is worked out using the information supplied in your previous Council Tax Benefit claim and the amount of Council Tax expected for the property you live in.

We start with looking at if you are eligible for any discounts, such as single person discount. We then turn your remaining amount of council tax into a weekly amount.

Pensioners, war widows of working age, and those receiving war disability payments will continue to be eligible for Council Tax Support for up to 100% of the Council Tax that you have to pay. For the remaining working age claims (aged up to 65) you can receive a maximum benefit of up to 80.5% of council tax due.

Claimants receiving the following benefits will automatically give you the full award less any deductions for non-dependents (other adults living with you):

-               Income Support,

-               Guaranteed Credit

-               Income based job seekers allowance

-               Income related employment and support allowance

This means that if you are working age and not in a protected group, you will get 80.5% of your council tax as a benefit. If you are a pensioner or protected, you will get 100%.

For all other claims we look at your total income, any savings that you have and deduct from that a recommended allowance that you need to live on depending on your circumstances and family make-up.

For every £1 that your total income is over the recommended allowance we deduct 20p from the weekly maximum amount of Council Tax Support you can receive. The amount left is the Council Tax Support we give you each week.

All weekly amounts are then worked out for the year and paid to your Council Tax Account. You will receive a bill setting out what contribution, if any, you are expected to pay towards Council Tax. See the back of the Council Tax bill which for information on how we can calculate your contribution.

Your sincerely

Claim reference: 1623514

Nl reference: JH653811D

How Your Housing Benefit Has Been Worked Out

From 01/04/2013 your Housing Benefit will be £86.84 each week.

The rent you are charged each week is £92.49.

Housing Benefit cannot pay for some service charges that are included in your rent. The rent you pay has to be reduced by the amount of these service charges. These amounts are shown below:

Actual amount for Ineligible Water    £5.65

Total deductions for services           £5.65

The amount of rent after deducting these charges is called your maximum eligible rent. Your rent of £92.49 must be reduced by £5.65, to £86.84 each week. This is your maximum eligible rent.

The maximum Housing Benefit you can get is £86.84 each week. This figure is used when working out 'your total weekly Housing Benefit'.

Your Total Weekly Housing Benefit

As you are receiving Income Support, I can pay the maximum Housing Benefit of £86.84 each week.

How Your Housing Benefit Has Been Worked Out for the period

From 08/07/2013 to 11/08/2013 your Housing Benefit will be £86.84 each week.

Claim reference: 1623514

The rent you are charged each week is £92.49.

Housing Benefit cannot pay for some service charges that are included in your rent. The rent you pay has to be reduced by the amount of these service charges. These amounts are shown below:

Actual amount for Ineligible Water    £5.65

Total deductions for services           £5.65

The amount of rent after deducting these charges is called your maximum eligible rent. Your rent of £92.49 must be reduced by £5.65, to £86.84 each week. This is your maximum eligible rent.

The maximum Housing Benefit you can get is £86.84 each week. This figure is used when working out 'your total weekly Housing Benefit'.

The amount of Housing Benefit has been worked out by comparing the money you have coming in each week, to an amount the Government has decided is the minimum that someone in your circumstances needs to cover basic living expenses.

Your Total Weekly Income

The amount of money you have coming in each week has been worked out as follows:

Total weekly income £0.00

Your Total Savings

If you have savings and capital over £6,000.00, an amount of £1.00 must be added to your weekly income for each additional £250.00, or part of £250.00 you have.

You have told me that you have no savings or capital, so I have added nothing to your weekly income. If you get savings credit in your pension credit, your savings have already been taken into account by the Pension Service and will not be shown on this letter.

Your Applicable Amount

Your applicable amount is made up of the following allowances and premiums:

Single claimant 25 or over

Total applicable amount

Your Total Weekly Housing Benefit

As your total weekly income of £0.00 is the same as or less than your 'applicable amount' of £71.70,1 can pay you your maximum Housing Benefit of £86.84 each week.

You may be entitled to Income Support or Jobseeker's Allowance. You should contact the Jobcentre Plus on 0800 055 6688 for more information.

How Your Housing Benefit Has Been Worked Out for the period

From 12/08/2013 your Housing Benefit will be £86.84 each week.

Nl reference: JH653811D

Your maximum housing benefit is £86.84. This amount has not changed since 08/07/2013. Please look at that period for full details of how your maximum benefit has been worked out.

Your Total Weekly Housing Benefit

Since you are receiving Employment and Support Allowance (income related), you are entitled to the maximum Housing Benefit of £86.84 each week.

How Your Council Tax Support Has Been Worked Out

Based on your circumstances I have decided to assess your claim using the Working Age scheme.

From 08/07/2013 to 11/08/2013, your council tax support is £12.64 each week.

The maximum council tax support you could get

Your council tax liability for the year is £818.62 which for this period is £15.70 each week.

The maximum council tax support you could get is therefore £15.70 each week. This figure is used when working out 'your total weekly council tax support'.

Your Total Weekly Income

The amount of money you have coming in each week has been worked out as follows:

Total Weekly Income £0.00

Your Total Savings

The Working Age scheme sets the amounts added to your weekly income if you have savings. If you have savings and capital over £6,000.00, an amount of £1.00 must be added to your weekly income for each additional £250.00, or part of £250.00 you have.

You have told me that you have no savings or capital, so I have added nothing to your weekly income. If you get savings credit in your pension credit, your savings have already been taken into account by the Pension Service and will not be shown on this letter.

Your applicable amount

Your applicable amount is made up of the following allowances and premiums:

Single claimant 25 or over      £71.70

Total Applicable Amount       £71.70

Your Total Weekly Council Tax Support

As your total weekly income of £0.00 is the same as or less than your 'applicable amount' of £71.70,1 can pay you your maximum council tax support of £15.70 each week.

A reduction of the maximum council tax support of £15.70 that you could get each week must be reduced by £3.06, to £12.64.

How Your Housing Benefit Has Been Worked Out for the period

From 06/04/2015 your Housing Benefit will be £93.08 each week.

Mr Simon Cordell 109 Burncroft Ave Enfield Middlesex EN3 7JQ 24/11/2016

RE: Formal Complaint dated 24/11/2016:

To Whom It May Concern:

I am writing this letter on behalf on my son Simon Cordell of 109 Burncroft Ave, EN3 7JQ.

Over the past few years my son has been having some issues with his neighbours this started due to what the police wrote about him in the newspapers about an ASBO that was granted by the lower courts in the newspaper the truth was not printed in the newspapers or on the Met Police website, the judge did grant the ASBO order but not on the grounds the police case was for we are still trying to work on how this was done to this day, this was not related to his neighbours why the police took this action it was due to lies by the police, this case is still waiting an appeal hearing at the crown court which will be held Jan 2017.

It was after this was printed in the newspaper and on the met website my son started to have issues with neighbours banging all the time and the way they were treating him and talking about him and not letting him have any rest to sleep due to the banging all the time emails were sent to Enfield Council yet very little was done yet my son has video footage of it which the council has never wanted to see or4 take any reports, this has made his heath suffer, I feel this was due to what the police have been telling Enfield Council and Enfield Council just taking the word of the police without asking my son or myself to explain as since all this started Enfield Council has not wanted to help in any way, could this be due to the colour of my son’s skin as I am lost for words that Enfield Council has done nothing to help.

My son has been a tenant for many years now with no complaints about him until this all started above and things were put in the newspapers for all to see when my son had done nothing wrong and will prove this at his appeal in Jan 2017.

The police do not like my son and have not for the past 21 years and there is a lot of issues that Enfield Council is not aware of about the police and my son this is getting addressed with the IPCC and police complaints, and we are now sorting out legal action as to what this has done to our life's over the years this has been ongoing the legal action is taking time due to how long this has been ongoing with the police.

There is also a subject access request attached to this email which I am asking for everything Enfield Council hold information about in regard to my son, this will also include any police reports that the police have handed to Enfield Council. If this needs to be handed to the correct department to deal with this or there is a cost pleases advice via this email, I have also included a letter of authority from my son so I can act on his behalf.

I do already know there is data being held by Enfield Council that is not correct and I want to be able to get this correct under the data protection act.

On the 14/08/2016 my son had some friends round to his home they came there at around 13:30 hours, after they left the police showed up at his address to arrest him this was due to one of the neighbours

3

said my son had gone out in his garden at 17:10 hours looked up at her windows and made threats to kill, this person lives 3 gardens down from my son on the 2 floor at 105 Burncroft Ave EN3 7JQ, this is imposable as my son did not go out in his garden he was with his 4 friends and there baby in his home all day and videos were taken while they were at his flat, his friends have made statements to say this as they did not leave his flat until around 18:15 hours, not long before the police came to my son’s home. I Miss L Cordell even went around his flat as he needed some things. In fact, my son does not go out of his home, and this has been for some time now due to how he is being treated.

When he was arrested on the 14/08/2016 my son was held in the police station sectioned under the mental health act and could not be interviewed so was put on bail until the 04/10/2016 when he was due to go back to the police station to be interviewed.

On the 04/10/2016 my son was getting ready at his home for me to pick him up for the bail to return, when I got a phone call from my son to say the police was again at his flat to arrest him this was around 1 hour before he was due to be at the police station, I went to his flat and was told by the police they wanted to arrest him I told them he was getting ready to go to the police station for a bail to return, the police again arrested my son for criminal damage due to something his neighbour said who lives above him, but he had not been out of his home he was in fact in the bath when the police came to his home.

Both cases for the 14/08/2016 and the 04/10/2016 were dropped by the CPS this was done on the 15/11/2016 with no case to answer towards my son, yet my son was victimised and had false accusations put against his name and arrested.

My son is scared to go home due to what the neighbours are doing and saying and putting false allegations into the police, it seems they really don’t want him to live there and will do anything they can to get him out.

On the 16/11/2016 I tried to speak to my son’s housing officer Sarah Fletcher to see what could be done and update her to what was ongoing her phone was set to do not disturb so I asked for an email to be sent over for her to call me as a matter of emergency, no one returned a call back to me.

Since the 16/11/2016 I have been calling every day to speak to Sarah Fletcher her phone is always set to do not disturb and I have asked for emails to be sent every day for her to call me back as a matter of emergency, I even asked to speak to her manager or any person in there team but it seems all their phones are set to do not disturb so I asked for emails to be sent for a call back, no one called me back.

I was also told that the police had been in contact with the council and that Sarah Fletcher would talk to me about this when she called this was on the 21/11/2016 and I was told that Sarah Fletcher would 100% call me that day.

On the 22/11/2016 I went to my son’s home and there was a letter from Sarah Fletcher dated the 18/11/2016 which was to do with 1 CCTV camera my son has outside his front door, this CCTV camera does not impose on any person’s rights, it does not show any person’s front door who lives in the block or windows. In fact, on the 14/08/2016 when the police went to my son’s flat to arrest him when they noticed the CCTV camera, they ripped the wire out and since this time it has not worked this is also getting address with the police. In the letter Sarah Fletcher said the CCTV camera had to be removed by the 25/11/2016 or Enfield Council would remove the CCTV camera and costs would be charged to my son for any repairs which there is none. At seeing the letter, I was upset as it seemed Sarah Fletcher could take the time to write this letter but not call me when each email that was sent said it’s a matter of emergency, I speak to her.

I tried to call and again like each other time I call it takes an hour or over to be able to speak to anyone, due to being busy I had to cut off to leave my son’s flat and was going to call again later.

When I got home, I showed my son the letter from Sarah Fletcher he himself was upset for some reason as me that she could take time to write this letter but not call us back. So, he then called this time he did get to speak to Sarah Fletcher and yes, he was upset due to what has been going on and said many times he was upset that she had not called, and they spoke about the CCTV camera which my

4

son said he wants to appeal it having to be taken down. They also spoke about my son being moved out of his flat to a new place, Sarah Fletcher replied she cannot do anything to do that and the only way for him to move was by way of housing moves and he should sign up to that and nothing else can be done. My son did not explain fully as he was really upset. Sarah Fletcher also said that there had been complaints put in about my son but said it not the right time to address this and that would be addressed at a next time, so it seems that Enfield Council does address complaints from other people but not my son or on behalf of my son, as I am still waiting for replies to complaints that were put in 2014 and 2015 about my son’s neighbours.

After my son spoke to her he passed me the phone, I asked why she had not called me back and was told that it not my tenancy, which I replied there has already been sent a letter of authority sent to Enfield Council some time back I believe it was maybe between 2013 to 2015 this was sent there was more than one of them sent which I can prove as they were sent via emails which I still have, which gives me Miss Lorraine Cordell authority to deal and speak to anyone at Enfield Council on behalf of my son and it would be on their systems as it was emailed and I knew they had it. My son at this in the background also said I have authority to deal and speak to anyone at Enfield Council and it’s on their systems.

Due to my son speaking in the background I went to a next room to speak; my son came into the room and was going on about writing the letter of complaint about what had been going on and that she could end up losing her job if she did not deal with this correctly. It was at this Sarah Fletcher said she could no longer talk to me that my son had made threats towards her and told me to put it in writing what I wanted to say put the phone down.

I feel at this time Enfield Council is doing nothing to help my son they don’t even want to speak to me so I can explain fully what is going on. My son is under the early intervention team, and they are willing to help my son get moved as they themselves have seen what is going on. They would do this by way of writing a letter to Enfield council if asked to do so by Enfield Council.

-               I would like to speak to someone as this cannot be left like this and my son is suffering due to all of this. My contact number is 07807 333545.

-               I would like to find out if Enfield Council is willing to move my son due to the reasons in this letter and the help of the early intervention team.

-               I would also like full dates and times that my son’s neighbours have put any complaints in and what they have said he has done and on what date.

-               I would a full report of any police reports that have been given to Enfield Council by the police about my son.

-               I would like information as to how to appeal about removing my CCTV camera and be allowed not to remove it until this appeal has happened, as so far this is the only thing that has proven my son has done nothing wrong.

Miss Lorraine Cordell Mr Simon Cordell

Mr Simon Cordell 109 Burncroft Ave Enfield Middlesex EN3 7JQ 24/11/2016

Re: Formal Complaint due to letter dated 29/11/2016 this Formal Complaint is to be added to the Formal Complaint dated 24/08/2016.

Dear Lemmy Nwabuisi and any other person who is copied in this letter.

I am writing this letter on behalf of Mr Simon Cordell of 109 Burncroft Ave, EN3 7JQ regarding the letter you wrote dated the 29/11/2016 which was received on the 01/12/2016.

I am not sure if you are aware there is an ongoing formal complaint that is being addressed by Mr Daniel Ellis from Complaints & Access to Information Team which addresses some of the information you have included into your letter, but I will be covering points in this reply and also forwarding it to the people it needs to be addressed to.

The 1st point I will address is the meeting you have set up for Mr Simon Cordell on the 06/12/2016 at 14:00 hours at Enfield Civic Centre.

I do not believe that it is justified to hold this meeting before the formal complaint is dealt with as stated many points in your letter has been covered in my formal complaint dated 24/11/2016, also until I have the subject access request information dealt with and have a list of dates and times these so called complaints were meant to have taken place and the reports from police that have been sent to Enfield Council I do not think holding this meeting would be appropriate.

I have spoken to my solicitor in regards to this matter and on advice taken from him he has told me to give limited information until I have the subject access request, this is why my formal complaint did not have full information in it as my solicitor does believe we have a case to take legal action, and if any data is withheld as it was when I requested my last subject access request for all my information I will have to take this up with the ICO.

However, it does seem there is more injustice going on within the ASB unit and Enfield Council then I had proof of before you wrote your letter dated 29/11/2016. There has been complaints put into Enfield council since 2014 about Mr Simon Cordell’s neighbours and what they were doing to him, Enfield Council and ASB unit took the option and done nothing, not even replied to my complaints, took no reports, and did not even looked at the video footage Mr Simon Cordell has of the noise, the banging the intimidation my son has taken from his neighbours, and the way they are doing all they can to get Mr Simon Cordell to move, the way he has been treated by Enfield Council by way of Enfield Council doing nothing to help him. You have been told many times the effect this is having on Mr Simon Cordell’s heath yet still choose to do nothing.

Yet as soon as Enfield Council gets reports against Mr Simon Cordell you are willing to address these complaints. Once again I will say I feel this is due to reports the police have put in to Enfield Council about Mr Simon Cordell, Meetings that took place with the Met police and Enfield council in regards to Mr Simon Cordell which Mr Simon Cordell knew nothing about until after the fact, and the colour of Mr Simon Cordell skin, why Enfield council have done nothing to address any issue Mr Simon Cordell was having with his neighbours regarding what his neighbours was doing to him.

I

17

Mr Simon Cordell has had his own place since 1999 and was housed by Enfield Council in 109 Burncroft Ave, Enfield, Middlesex, EN3 7JQ I believe in 2006 due to a fire that happened in his flat before this address, in this time Mr Simon Cordell had no complaints put in about him until now 2016.

You have written in your letter multiple things to be addressed which Mr Simon Cordell was meant to have done.

-               “Include using threatening, abusive and insulting words and language, aggressively demanding money, intimidation and making threats towards your neighbours. It is also alleged that on 4th October 2016, you banged on your ceiling, and you later started to bang and kick at your neighbour’s door. It is alleged that you were very aggressive and was shouting through your neighbour’s door and that you then proceeded to drag his motorbike from where it was parked and started to smash it up”.

At this point I will only say the above is untrue, once I have the information including all dates, times and complaints in order from my subject access request it will be at this time I will address each point of concern above.

You have also stated:

-               “It is also alleged that your dogs are left by themselves all day and night barking and causing noise disturbances to your neighbours”.

Mr Simon Cordell has had one dog only at his flat, when Mr Simon Cordell was housed in 1999, he had a dog, no complaints were ever put in re Mr Simon Cordell dog being left by herself all day and night barking and causing noise disturbances to neighbours and being neglected.

When Mr Simon Cordell was moved into 109 Burncroft Ave, Enfield, Middlesex, EN3 7JQ I believe in 2006 he had the same dog, when she passed away in 2007 he got a new dog same bred and since 2006 there has been no complaints by neighbours of Mr Simon Cordell leaving her alone all day and night or her barking all night and all day and him not looking after her and neglecting her, and her causing noise disturbances to his neighbours. Mr Simon Cordell does not leave his dog all day and night she is always looked after, if Mr Simon Cordell is not going to be there overnight or for a long time during the day then the family look after the dog. So how someone can say she is left alone is beyond me.

Mr Simon Cordell’s dog is looked after very well she has never been left all day and all night alone, and I feel very angry any person could ever say Mr Simon Cordell has ever mistreated and neglected his dog he is an animal lover as all our family are and we would never mistreat or neglected any animal.

Once again it seems beyond belief Mr Simon Cordell has had his dog and no complaints has been put in by any neighbours about the way my son allegedly mistreats and neglects his dog since 2006, until now 2016.

It seems totally unbelievable my son could have his dog for so many years with not one complaint of mistreatment and neglect and now all of a sudden in 2016 my son mistreats and neglect his dog leaves her alone all day and night with the dog only now in 2016 causing noise disturbances to his neighbours. You can take that how it reads as I am so angry right now that any person could say the dog is mistreated and neglected, she is always cared for and loved and not left alone all day and night barking and making noise.

In fact, the dog that lives a few rows up barks more and makes more noise than Mr Simon Cordell dog does its always barking and making a noise so does this mean they are going to have action taken against them?

My son’s dog only as a rule bark when someone comes into the building to Mr Simon Cordell front door and this is only for a short time until the door is opened for them, there is also the fact Mr Simon Cordell does not have many people at his flat the main people are his family, so his dog hardly barks at all.

2

18

Mr Simon Cordell for the last 3 years does not even go out of his flat any longer due to what has been going on, he once in a while goes across to the shop but that is not often at all and only when the family cannot get what he needs as they are busy. If Mr Simon Cordell has to go out for a meeting, he always has someone with him it has become this way due to how he has been treated by the Met police.

You have also stated:

• “Your neighbours have also alleged that you have installed a CCTV in the communal area with the camera pointing towards the main entrance to the block thereby making them to feel very uncomfortable when entering and leaving the block. Your neighbours have alleged that this is an invasion of their privacy".

I have already put an appeal in my formal complaint dated the 24/11/2016 in regard to the CCTV and I am awaiting a reply as to what information I need and how I address the appeal. I will say that the CCTV is for security, but so far has protected me due to malicious information that has been passed to people, but it was not installed for that reason but has helped in this the main reason it was installed was due to security.

But since the 14/08/2016 when the police themselves damaged the CCTV camera due to what they were doing to Mr Simon Cordell, it has not worked. So, at this time there is no CCTV in operation in the communal area of the block the only CCTV that is operational at this time is the ones inside Mr Simon Cordell flat itself. When Mr Simon Cordell was on a phone call to Sarah Fletcher on the 22/11/2016 she did say if the CCTV camera was facing Mr Simon Cordell's front door there would be no problem with that this is at this time being acted on.

It also seems that this complaint has come in very late as if any neighbours felt that this was an invasion of their privacy why was this not acted on in 2013 when it was installed? Why has it taken them until 2016 to say they feel this is an invasion of their privacy?

In fact I feel it has protected Mr Simon Cordell's neighbours there has been crime in the area and many break ins within the housing estate where everyone lives, yet not one person has been effected in the block Mr Simon Cordell lives in by crime and I believe this is due to the CCTV being there, and if anything happened to any of the neighbours in the block the police could obtain a copy. The CCTV camera does not show any neighbours living in the block, front doors or windows. And only showed part of the ground floor communal area leading up to Mr Simon Cordell’s own front door.

It also makes us feel the only reason that the neighbours have now said about the CCTV is due to what they are trying to say about Mr Simon Cordell in these complaints, I feel that at this time the CCTV is the thing that protected Mr Simon Cordell against what the neighbours have alleged, why else would it have taken them over 3 years to say they now felt it was an invasion of their privacy?

As said in my formal complaint the police don’t like Mr Simon Cordell and this has been for many years when the police go to Mr Simon Cordell flat, he feels safer that the CCTV is there as it shows what the police are doing to Mr Simon Cordell so makes him feel safer, has the police put a report in about the CCTV camera also?

As stated these allegations are very serious and I would like them addressed as soon as possible but until I have the information I have asked for so know what dates and times these complaints were put in I feel that Enfield council is only taking one side to this and that is the neighbours, as since 2014 all my calls and emails and letter about my complaints re the neighbours Enfield Council has done nothing to help me or Mr Simon Cordell address this.

Mr Simon Cordell feels he has no option left to him but to move away from his home due to what has been ongoing for a long time with no one addressing it. He feels that is the only way he will feel safe again from what the neighbours are doing to him, yet Enfield Council have said they will do nothing about this to help him and while this is ongoing it is affecting his heath more and more.

19

Mr Daniel Ellis has said that my formal complaint should be addressed by the 14/12/2016 but is trying to compete this sooner, he has been told that no one within Enfield Council is addressing moving Mr Simon Cordell to a new address and this needs acting on as soon as possible as what is going on cannot be left with nothing being done as this is making Mr Simon Cordell’s life hell living in fear, and so far I believe no one within Enfield Council is addressing moving Mr Simon Cordell to a new place, this is unacceptable by any means for Enfield Council not to be addressing this issue, I have made many calls and not one person has called me back to gather information or give me an update if anything is being done about addressing a move for Mr Cordell, so from what I can see once again Enfield Council is not acting in an appropriate manner.

I also believe when I get the information from the subject access request which can take up to 40 days this will incur more issues and I believe there will be data that needs to be corrected which Enfield Council holds on Mr Simon Cordell, as under the data protection act data which is held has to be 100% accurate, I also believe it will help to clear up much information that you have included in your letter.

I have also asked that any letters sent to Mr Simon Cordell are also sent to Miss Lorraine Cordell this was included in my email with the attached letters dated 24/11/2016 this has not been done with your letter why?

I would be most grateful if you could reply to this letter also including myself Miss Lorraine Cordell this can be done via my email lorraine32@bluevonder.co.uk

or my address which is included in the letters dated 24/11/2016.

Re: Formal Complaint 08/12/12/016

To Whom It May Concern:

I am once again writing an email to all the above in the hope something will be able to be done.

I know Formal Complaints are ongoing regarding letters written on the 24/11/2016 and 05/12/2016 but I feel I have known option but to again write a new Formal Complaints dated 08/12/2016.

The last time we spoke to someone regarding moving my son was on the 22/11/2016 after calling with no call back from Sarah Fletcher, or her manager or anyone else in her team since 16/11/2016 sometimes calling up to 3 times a day. (All their lines are set to do not disturb) this has not changed, and I still am making calls to try and address this issue with no one calling me back.

My son is having a nightmare in his flat since he moved back there he does not leave his flat and has not since he returned there, once again the neighbours have started since he moved back in with the noise, the banging the intimidation, my son heath is suffering and this is not acceptable that nothing is being done he not being let alone to be able to sleep and being kept up all night and in the day due to what the neighbours are doing.

I do not see why no one is addressing this and I have not had one phone call to address this issue do not know what is going on and my son is left to suffer.

It should not matter that Formal Complaints are ongoing I should at least be able to talk to someone or get someone to call me back with an update as to if anything is going on to move my son.

When I get letters or calls or emails, I do not just do nothing I reply to the letters, but it seems Enfield Council is doing nothing to address the under-laying issue of what has been ongoing since 2014 with my son’s neighbours and what they are doing to him.

It does not seem to matter that my son’s heath is suffering due to this and has been for some time due to not being able to sleep. It seems that Enfield Council is happy that the neighbours are doing this to my son with nothing being done.

I would like someone to email me via lorraine32@bluevonder.co.uk with what is being done to help my son, I would like an update today as so far I think I have waited long enough to get an update as to what is being done to address this issue if anything at all.

My Ref: COM 1885

Your Ref:

Date: 22nd December 2016

Dear Ms Cordell,

Re: Mr Simon Cordell -109 Burncroft Avenue - COM 1885.

I write with reference to your letters of complaint dated 24th November 2016 copies of which were received via email on 24th November 2016, 5th December 2016 and 8th December 2016.

I will respond to the issues you raised as follows.

1. Anti-Social Behaviour Order

We are aware that the police applied for an Anti-Social Behaviour Order (ASBO) which was granted on 4th August 2015 against your son in relation to activities that cations away from Burncroft Avenue. We are aware that your son is appealing against the ASBO, and we are therefore unable to comment further.

2. CCTV

We can confirm that a letter was sent to your son by Sarah Fletcher, Neighbourhood Officer on 18th November 2016 giving him until 25th November 2016 to remove the CCTV that he had installed on the internal communal door leading to flats 109 and 111 Burncroft Avenue and facing towards the main door of the block. We can also confirm that another letter was sent to him on 29th November 2016 by Lemmy Nwabuisi, Anti-Social Behaviour Officer in relation to complaints received from your son’s neighbours concerning the CCTV. This matter

concerns a breach of tenancy conditions and will be addressed separately from this complaint.

3. Allegations of Anti-Social Behaviour

You referred to alleged issues that your son was having with his neighbours; however, you' did not specify which neighbours and or provide a specific time frame when these complaints were made. We have checked our records since 4h August 2015 and found two records of telephone complaints received from your son. One on 20h August 2015 and again on 26h January 2016 which related to noise and the issues he was having with a neighbour. These concerns were dealt with at the time by relevant officers.

We note your comment that your son has been a tenant for many years and that there have been no complaints about him until the publication of the ASBO against him on 4th August 2015. However, our records show that since your son’s tenancy began on 14th August 2006, there has been at least one previous complaint against your son from another neighbour prior to the ASBO.

We are aware of the alleged incident that happened on 4th October 2016 as this was reported to us and this will be addressed separately as part of ongoing Anti-Social Behaviour investigations.

We note your comments regarding the police and must advise that you take up any issues with the Independent Police Complaints Commission. We also note your comment regarding an alleged incident on 14th August 2016. This was not reported to the Council and should be a matter for the police. We note your comment that your son is scared to go home due to the alleged issues with his neighbours.

Regarding the allegations of ASB against your son and the issues regarding his dog, we note your comment that you do not think it is justified to attend the meeting with Lemmy Nwabuisi prior to your formal complaint being addressed. We note your comment that you have been advised by a solicitor to wait for the SAR. We also note your comments

29

in relation to the letter sent by Lemmy Nwabuisi on 29th November 2016 regarding reports of anti-social behaviour made against your son by his neighbours and that you will address these once the SAR is received. Please note that these allegations are serious breaches of tenancy conditions and will be addressed separately as part of an ongoing investigation. We have attempted to meet with your son to discuss the allegations made against him and give him the opportunity to respond. It is important that these issues are addressed and another meeting will be arranged to facilitate this in due course.

-               Subject Access Request (SAR)

The SAR that you have submitted is being responded to separately in accordance with required timescales.

-               Communications

We are aware that you left messages for Sarah Fletcher on three occasions between 16 and 21 November 2016 and she was not available at these times. We confirm that she spoke directly with Mr Simon Cordell by telephone on 22nd November 2016.

-               Housing Options

As a single resident living in a one-bedroom property, the Council considers that your; son is suitably housed. We do not have sufficient evidence in relation to your son's allegations of anti-social behaviour against his neighbours to be able to refer him for a transfer on the housing register.

He can make an online application himself to be placed on the housing register by visiting the Council Housing pages of the Enfield Council website at www.enfield.Gov.uk. His eligibility for transfer will then be assessed by the Housing Options team in accordance with Council policy and they will advise whether his application is accepted.

Alternative options to move are available to him through the mutual exchange scheme, where tenants are able to swap their home with another tenant, and the fresh start scheme, where tenants can be supported in moving to a private rented home. Further information can be found online using the URLs below:

https://www.enfield.aov.uk/forms/form/203/fresh start scheme.

If you wish to discuss this matter, please do not hesitate to contact me. Please note that I away from the office and will be returning on Tuesday 3rd January 2017.

Yours Sincerely

Geoffrey Mann Neighbourhood Manager

taken seriously as they assumed, she was drunk at the time of the call. She advised that she wasn't in the list drunk but, just the way she spoke due to her condition. She still wasn't taken seriously and had to abandon the call. She found this very frustrating and advised that it was not the first time this would happen to her. Her CPN also confirmed her statement and expressed her dissatisfaction at the way she was treated. Ms Andrews felt completely let down by the police and became frightful for her safety especially, as she knows the perpetrators has shells in his flat. I observed in her flat that her floors were very creaky, I was made aware by Dawn that most of the flats in the block are like that. Unfortunately, the creakiness exacerbates the noise level in the flats and cause more problems than usual. I advised that I would contact the police to make further enquiries. I will also contact MHT to enquire if Mr Cordell is known to them. At some point the perpetrator will need to be interviewed and a warning letter issued on him. I will contact the repairs team and try to arrange a surveyor to visit her flat and see what assistance can be offered I further advised that her case will be investigated, and an officer will get back to her to discuss further with her. Her CPN and TMO will be kept informed of updates.

Bola Quadri has already put in place a safeguard alert.

Miss Debra Andrew [SEC=PROTECT]

Hi Dolly,

Nick and I attended 113 a while ago and spoke to the lady a while ago when she originally called Police. At the time she didn't want us to speak to her neighbour as things had got better. The lady handed us a letter about what had happened but none of it made any sense.

We believe she was suffering from mental health issues.

On another occasion we popped round to see her, and she wouldn't come and speak to us so instead she spoke through her letterbox to us. The male at 109 - Simon Cordell who is causing the problems is very well known to Police and is also very anti Police. I know some Officers went around and spoke to him and things seemed to get better. After that we have had no further calls from the lady at 113.

We will try and get around to see her when were back on duty on Monday.

Kind Regards

Classification: PROTECT

Good afternoon, Mark,

Could you kindly assist with this query please. Following reports of ASB by the above tenant, my colleague and I visited her this morning and were alarmed by the nature of her complaints. She has in the past few months being constantly harassed, intimidated, bullied, stalked and threatened to kill by her neighbour at 109.

As a result of his behaviour, she has become too scared to leave her flat for fear of what may happen to her. She is a vulnerable tenant who requires support from services. However, the unsettling behaviour exhibited by number 109, has hindered her from attending her appointments and exacerbated her condition. At the moment, she feels very disorientated / agitated and will like the harassment to stop.

She advised that she had reported this to the police a few times but, wasn't taken seriously.

I will appreciate if you could stop over at 113 to reassure her that the matter is being dealt with and also to stop by 109 and advise him that you are aware of what is going on and the repercussions should it continue.

Thank you for your support and assistance

Discharged form MH services, suicidal thoughts are longstanding from early childhood and present at times of high stress, not 'A typical' of other forms of suicide as relates to thoughts as opposed to wish to die, and usually found in context of those presenting with early childhood trauma as a way of expressing emotions.

Good afternoon, Louise,

Sorry I missed your call; I was at a meeting at the time. Called and left a message on your voice mail.

Ms Andrews suffers from a history of mental health; she is currently being supported by Bola Quadri Care-coordinator / CPN / Nurse Prescriber Psychosis Service Line

Barnet, Enfield & Haringey Mental Health NHS Trust / 58-60 Silver Street, Enfield EN1 3EP

She made complains about her neighbour at number 109, harassing, verbally abusing her, intimidating, shouting threatening to kill her. The mean concern here is that the perpetrator in question also suffers from mental health and is known to be very aggressive, violet and anti-police. He has on a few occasions threatened to kill her and petrified the life out of her.

It was on this basis that a decision was made to move her out immediately.

Hope the above information is useful.

Hi Louise,

Thanks for this - I'm pleased to hear you think Deborah is being properly supported and that she sounded better - she was in a right state when we spoke to her last.

Good news that it looks like she might be able to get help to move.

For the camera, we are very happy to come along for a visit. I've spoken to our Sgt and as we understand it the ideal course of action is to advise him to remove it in our presence, then if he refuses, I believe you can take it down and that should be fine so long as the camera itself is returned to Cordell. Let me know when your best days for it would be and I'll see when we can manage best.

Hi James,

I spoke with Deborah Andrews this morning; the leak issue was sorted over the weekend this was from the flat above.

I do not know anything about Mr Cordell moving in two weeks' time, unless she is getting confused with his threat that he will get her in two weeks' time. Overall, I am concerned that Deborah is not managing and appears to be getting more confused the last few times I have spoken to her last week and today, she is also feeling that she needs further support by way of supported accommodation. I do agree with her as the level of support that St John of God provide is high and the dependency with other agencies is also constant and not something that housing or myself could provide long term.

Deborah was much calmer this morning and I reassured he that if she has any concerns to contact me.

With regard to the camera not he is not allowed it to be train on anything else other that his front door. Probably means I will need to visit him to get this sorted. I may request your assistance with this I don't really fancy

Hi Louise,

I hope you are well.

Since 15/01/2016 we have had further calls from Debra Andrew relating to the issues she has been having with Simon Cordell.

Given the nature of the calls, we visited Debra yesterday for a reassurance visit. She said that there has been a leak in the building causing 'flooding' in both her flat and Cordell's flat, and Cordell has been making accusations relating to it. She said that she believes Cordell is leaving his flat in two weeks, which I hadn't heard, but said I would look into it - do you know if that's true by any chance?

Debra said that if Cordell does not leave, she wants to leave her flat and move somewhere else herself.

While at the address we also noticed that Cordell has now installed a CCTV camera which is placed at the top of the internal communal door leading to flats 109 and 111, facing towards the main door of the block. I am unsure as to whether he's allowed to do this and shall look into it, but just wanted to let you know!

Dear Sarah,

Thank you for your email and updated information. This incident yesterday J am assuming that this is a different incident from 15/1/16 where Mr Cordell approached Ms De Polla? Please can you confirm if this was reported to the police, and if this was not why? This is harassment and can be treated and reported as a criminal offence. Yes, this is a separate incident to 15.01.2016. The police were not called as a crime had not been committed and Barbara was able to walk away without Mr Cordell trying to prevent her or following her. In relation to Deborah please can you confirm if your concerns for her welfare are being reported back to the Mental health team prior to this email (I do appreciate that Bola has been on leave for a few weeks) Yvonne has copied Bola into the same communication as yourself and expressed concerns. Debbie has also contacted Bola. I am receiving if not daily calls from Deborah or every other day, with her explaining to me that she feels she is not coping at all, she is looking to me for reassurance. Deborah has expressed that she is not managing independent living and would like to go back into supported accommodation. Supported living is something Bola would need to arrange. Can you confirm that you have reported your concerns for Debbie’s welfare to the mental health team?

Please can you confirm if she has expressed this to staff at St John of God? Also, please can you confirm if you feel that Deborah is not coping at present. If so, has this been reported to the mental health team?

As you are aware, Debbie has said that she is not coping, and I understand that you are in the process of providing a report in order to facilitate Debbie to move. Can you confirm that this has been completed and if so, what the next step of the process is and how long this is likely to take?

Also given the current hours that currently allocated to Deborah if this is suitable in this situation for her need? If I recall this was expressed at a SOVA meeting that this should be extended as her needs are becoming greater? We are requested and funded to provide 6 hours support per week (3 hours twice a week for shopping). Bola is responsible for increasing the care package if Debbie is assessed as needing more support. With regard to the Safeguarding plan I do feel that a mental health strategy meeting needs to take place as issues beyond our control will also have a direct impact on the wellbeing of Deborah. I am raising this directly with George Benyure Bolas manger. My understanding was that Bola had already raised a safeguarding alert.

Hi Louise

I am extremely concerned about Debbie Andrewes neighbour and the increased risk to the support workers and indeed Debbie, who, as you are aware is unable to leave her own home unescorted.

Yesterday it was reported to me that the neighbour approached Barbara de Polla as she entered the communal door, he was very aggressive and began shouting at her saying, you should not be coming here, she is an alcoholic, you shouldn't take her out anywhere etc." Barbara said that she did not want to talk about it and walked away from him, luckily, he did not follow her.

In relation to Debbie is safety, I strongly feel that it is only a matter of time before something serious or even fatal happens to her. As you are aware, the neighbour has a dog, which appears to be a Staffordshire bull terrier which

Page 17 of 21

he allows to roam free in the communal area which is highly intimidating and potentially very dangerous.

Please can you clarify the interim safeguarding protection plan and timescale as to when Debbie will be moved to a place of safety.

I have completed an internal incident form and unfortunately, if another incident occurs, I will have no other option but to temporarily withdraw our service, which will put Debbie in a situation where she is even more at risk.

I look forward to hearing from you at your earliest convenience.

Dear George & Bola,

Thank you for your email, I have only copied you both as there is other information on Mr Cordell that urgently needs to be considered.

I received an email informing me that a mental health warrant had been granted for Mr Cordell. This will cause a greater issue especially if he is released back into the community. My fear is that this will indirectly cause further distress for Deborah. A plan needs to be put in place with full considerations.

Please can an urgent mental health strategy meeting be held regarding Deborah Andrews, given the above information and the urgent need for full consideration in this case due to the complex needs and issues with both clients, who are known to your services and tenants of Enfield Council.

Deborah is contacting me if not daily every other day these calls are coming through at all different days and times. She is informing me that she is not coping with everything and wants to go back into supported accommodation, she feels extremely frightened and vulnerable. I must confirm that its Deborah stating that she is not coping as I am not in a position to make these decisions. When I speak with Deborah asking if she is attending her appointments, she states that" it js a quick jab, in and out no one speaks with you.

With regards to the management transfer this is still being prepared and waiting to be heard by panel, I am waiting to hear the next available date for this. It was explained when I suggested this action may be a route forward that this is not a quick process, and all elements need to be considered. It is not necessary for Ms Andrews to currently go into emergency accommodation either. This case will be assisted by moving Ms Andrews; however, this may not resolve all of the concerns or the overall future welfare of Ms Andrews.

Transferring Ms Andrews into another independent accommodation without fully assessing her current needs and the full support required should be considered before this happens. As moving her may not solve all of Deborah Andrews concerns. She is only going out when SJOG are visiting, however they are only allocated 3 hours per week. More recommendations need to be put forward to provide a comprehensive package to support

Dear Mr Cordell,

Re: Reports of Anti-Social Behaviour, Harassment, Intimidation and Threatening Behaviour

I write with regards to reports of anti-social behaviour, intimidation, harassment and threatening behaviour made against you by your neighbours.

The reports include using threatening, abusive and insulting words and language, aggressively demanding money, intimidation and making threats towards your neighbours. It is also alleged that on 4th November 2016, you banged on your ceiling, and you later started to bang and kick at your neighbour’s door. It is alleged, that you were very aggressive and was shouting through your neighbour’s door and that you then proceeded to drag his motorbike from where it was parked and started to smash it up.

It is also alleged that your dogs are left by themselves all day and night barking and causing noise disturbances to your neighbours. Your neighbours have also alleged that you have installed a CCTV in the communal area with the camera pointing towards the main entrance to the block thereby making them to feel very uncomfortable when entering and leaving the block. Your neighbours have alleged that this is an invasion of their privacy.

If these allegations are true, they are in breach of the following terms and conditions of your T enancy Agreement:

Mr Simon Cordell 109 Burncroft Ave Enfield Middlesex EN3 7JQ 24/11/2016

Re: Formal Complaint due to letter dated 29/11/2016 this Formal Complaint is to be added to the Formal Complaint dated 24/08/2016.

Dear Lemmy Nwabuisi and any other person who is copied in this letter.

I am writing this letter on behalf of Mr Simon Cordell of 109 Burncroft Ave, EN3 7JQ regarding the letter you wrote dated the 29/11/2016 which was received on the 01/12/2016.

I am not sure if you are aware there is an ongoing formal complaint that is being addressed by Mr Daniel Ellis from Complaints & Access to Information Team which addresses some of the information you have included into your letter, but I will be covering points in this reply and also forwarding it to the people it needs to be addressed to.

The 1st point I will address is the meeting you have set up for Mr Simon Cordell on the 06/12/2016 at 14:00 hours at Enfield Civic Centre.

I do not believe that it is justified to hold this meeting before the formal complaint is dealt with as stated many points in your letter has been covered in my formal complaint dated 24/11/2016, also until I have the subject access request information dealt with and have a list of dates and times these so called complaints were meant to have taken place and the reports from police that have been sent to Enfield Council I do not think holding this meeting would be appropriate.

I have spoken to my solicitor in regards to this matter and on advice taken from him he has told me to give limited information until I have the subject access request, this is why my formal complaint did not have full information in it as my solicitor does believe we have a case to take legal action, and if any data is withheld as it was when I requested my last subject access request for all my information I will have to take this up with the ICO.

However, it does seem there is more injustice going on within the ASB unit and Enfield Council then I had proof of before you wrote your letter dated 29/11/2016. There has been complaints put into Enfield council since 2014 about Mr Simon Cordell’s neighbours and what they were doing to him, Enfield Council and ASB unit took the option and done nothing, not even replied to my complaints, took no reports, and did not even looked at the video footage Mr Simon Cordell has of the noise, the banging the intimidation my son has taken from his neighbours, and the way they are doing all they can to get Mr Simon Cordell to move, the way he has been treated by Enfield Council by way of Enfield Council doing nothing to help him. You have been told many times the effect this is having on Mr Simon Cordell’s heath yet still choose to do nothing.

Yet as soon as Enfield Council gets reports against Mr Simon Cordell you are willing to address these complaints. Once again I will say I feel this is due to reports the police have put in to Enfield Council about Mr Simon Cordell, Meetings that took place with the Met police and Enfield council in regards to Mr Simon Cordell which Mr Simon Cordell knew nothing about until after the fact, and the colour of Mr Simon Cordell skin, why Enfield council have done nothing to address any issue Mr Simon Cordell was having with his neighbours regarding what his neighbours was doing to him.

1

26

Mr Simon Cordell has had his own place since 1999 and was housed by Enfield Council in 109 Burncroft Ave, Enfield, Middlesex, EN3 7JQ I believe in 2006 due to a fire that happened in his flat before this address, in this time Mr Simon Cordell had no complaints put in about him until now 2016.

You have written in your letter multiple things to be addressed which Mr Simon Cordell was meant to have done.

“Include using threatening, abusive and insulting words and language, aggressively demanding money, intimidation and making threats towards your neighbours. It is also alleged that on 4th October 2016, you banged on your ceiling, and you later started to bang and kick at your neighbour’s door. It is alleged that you were very aggressive and was shouting through your neighbour’s door and that you then proceeded to drag his motorbike from where it was parked and started to smash it up”.

At this point I will only say the above is untrue, once I have the information including all dates, times and complaints in order from my subject access request it will be at this time I will address each point of concern above.

You have also stated:

“It is also alleged that your dogs are left by themselves all day and night barking and causing noise disturbances to your neighbours”.

Mr Simon Cordell has had one dog only at his flat, when Mr Simon Cordell was housed in 1999, he had a dog, no complaints were ever put in re Mr Simon Cordell dog being left by herself all day and night barking and causing noise disturbances to neighbours and being neglected.

When Mr Simon Cordell was moved into 109 Burncroft Ave, Enfield, Middlesex, EN3 7JQ I believe in 2006 he had the same dog, when she passed away in 2007 he got a new dog same bred and since 2006 there has been no complaints by neighbours of Mr Simon Cordell leaving her alone all day and night or her barking all night and all day and him not looking after her and neglecting her, and her causing noise disturbances to his neighbours. Mr Simon Cordell does not leave his dog all day and night she is always looked after, if Mr Simon Cordell is not going to be there overnight or for a long time during the day then the family look after the dog. So how someone can say she is left alone is beyond me.

Mr Simon Cordell’s dog is looked after very well she has never been left all day and all night alone, and I feel very angry any person could ever say Mr Simon Cordell has ever mistreated and neglected his dog he is an animal lover as all our family are and we would never mistreat or neglected any animal.

Once again it seems beyond belief Mr Simon Cordell has had his dog and no complaints has been put in by any neighbours about the way my son allegedly mistreats and neglects his dog since 2006, until now 2016.

It seems totally unbelievable my son could have his dog for so many years with not one complaint of mistreatment and neglect and now all of a sudden in 2016 my son mistreats and neglect his dog leaves her alone all day and night with the dog only now in 2016 causing noise disturbances to his neighbours. You can take that how it reads as I am so angry right now that any person could say the dog is mistreated and neglected, she is always cared for and loved and not left alone all day and night barking and making noise.

In fact, the dog that lives a few rows up barks more and makes more noise than Mr Simon Cordell dog does its always barking and making a noise so does this mean they are going to have action taken against them? My son’s dog only as a rule bark when someone comes into the building to Mr Simon Cordell front door and this is only for a short time until the door is opened for them, there is also the fact Mr Simon Cordell does not have many people at his flat the main people are his family, so his dog hardly barks at all.

27

Mr Simon Cordell for the last 3 years does not even go out of his flat any longer due to what has been going on, he once in a while goes across to the shop but that is not often at all and only when the family cannot get what he needs as they are busy. If Mr Simon Cordell has to go out for a meeting, he always has someone with him it has become this way due to how he has been treated by the Met police.

You have also stated:

• “Your neighbours have also alleged that you have installed a CCTV in the communal area with the camera pointing towards the main entrance to the block thereby making them to feel very uncomfortable when entering and leaving the block. Your neighbours have alleged that this is an invasion of their privacy”.

I have already put an appeal in my formal complaint dated the 24/11/2016 in regard to the CCTV and I am awaiting a reply as to what information I need and how I address the appeal. I will say that the CCTV is for security, but so far has protected me due to malicious information that has been passed to people, but it was not installed for that reason but has helped in this the main reason it was installed was due to security.

But since the 14/08/2016 when the police themselves damaged the CCTV camera due to what they were doing to Mr Simon Cordell, it has not worked. So, at this time there is no CCTV in operation in the communal area of the block the only CCTV that is operational at this time is the ones inside Mr Simon Cordell flat itself. When Mr Simon Cordell was on a phone call to Sarah Fletcher on the 22/11/2016 she did say if the CCTV camera was facing Mr Simon Cordell’s front door there would be no problem with that this is at this time being acted on.

It also seems that this complaint has come in very late as if any neighbours felt that this was an invasion of their privacy why was this not acted on in 2013 when it was installed? Why has it taken them until 2016 to say they feel this is an invasion of their privacy?

In fact I feel it has protected Mr Simon Cordell’s neighbours there has been crime in the area and many break ins within the housing estate where everyone lives, yet not one person has been effected in the block Mr Simon Cordell lives in by crime and I believe this is due to the CCTV being there, and if anything happened to any of the neighbours in the block the police could obtain a copy. The CCTV camera does not show any neighbours living in the block, front doors or windows. And only showed part of the ground floor communal area leading up to Mr Simon Cordell’s own front door.

It also makes us feel the only reason that the neighbours have now said about the CCTV is due to what they are trying to say about Mr Simon Cordell in these complaints, I feel that at this time the CCTV is the thing that protected Mr Simon Cordell against what the neighbours have alleged, why else would it have taken them over 3 years to say they now felt it was an invasion of their privacy?

As said in my formal complaint the police don’t like Mr Simon Cordell and this has been for many years when the police go to Mr Simon Cordell flat, he feels safer that the CCTV is there as it shows what the police are doing to Mr Simon Cordell so makes him feel safer, has the police put a report in about the CCTV camera also?

As stated these allegations are very serious and I would like them addressed as soon as possible but until I have the information I have asked for so know what dates and times these complaints were put in I feel that Enfield council is only taking one side to this and that is the neighbours, as since 2014 all my calls and emails and letter about my complaints re the neighbours Enfield Council has done nothing to help me or Mr Simon Cordell address this.

Mr Simon Cordell feels he has no option left to him but to move away from his home due to what has been ongoing for a long time with no one addressing it. He feels that is the only way he will feel safe again from what the neighbours are doing to him, yet Enfield Council have said they will do nothing about this to help him and while this is ongoing it is affecting his heath more and more.

Mr Daniel Ellis has said that my formal complaint should be addressed by the 14/12/2016 but is trying to compete this sooner, he has been told that no one within Enfield Council is addressing moving Mr Simon Cordell to a new address and this needs acting on as soon as possible as what is going on cannot be left with nothing being done as this is making Mr Simon Cordell’s life hell living in fear, and so far I believe no one within Enfield Council is addressing moving Mr Simon Cordell to a new place, this is unacceptable by any means for Enfield Council not to be addressing this issue, I have made many calls and not one person has called me back to gather information or give me an update if anything is being done about addressing a move for Mr Cordell, so from what I can see once again Enfield Council is not acting in an appropriate manner.

I also believe when I get the information from the subject access request which can take up to 40 days this will incur more issues and I believe there will be data that needs to be corrected which Enfield Council holds on Mr Simon Cordell, as under the data protection act data which is held has to be 100% accurate, I also believe it will help to clear up much information that you have included in your letter.

I have also asked that any letters sent to Mr Simon Cordell are also sent to Miss Lorraine Cordell this was included in my email with the attached letters dated 24/11/2016 this has not been done with your letter why?

I would be most grateful if you could reply to this letter also including myself Miss Lorraine Cordell this can be done via my email lorraine32@bluevonder.co.uk or my address which is included in the letters dated 24/11/2016.

Regards

Miss Lorraine Cordell

She has missed a few appointments with her social worker as a result, she has now been subjected to making home appointments pending the time this matter is resolved. She explained that they use to be acquaintances before the relationship went sour. She believes the whole problem started when he claimed the decoration in his flat was damaged as a result of a leak coming from her flat. She confirmed that she had a leak from her overflow a few months ago which has since been repaired but, the damage alleged had occurred.

sue them because he felt that they were treating him unfairly. He told SC that he was a musician and that he does not want anything to do with his issues.

Straight after he moved in, SC will come up to his flat at least once a week to shout at him and complain about loud banging from his flat and knocking pipes. SC would accuse him of making noise on purpose to wind him up and he will always explain to him that it is not true, that he does not make any banging noises inside his flat and that he cannot explain why the pipes were making knocking noises.

--

Mr Quinton stated that on 4/10/16, he was sleeping when SC started to bang on his ceiling, but he ignored him. SC then came up and started kicking at his door and he still ignored him. SC then went downstairs, dragged Mr Quinton's motorbike from where he parked it, threw it on the ground and started to hit it with what he believed to be a mop pole, he is not sure how many times he hit it. He then called the police, and they came and took him away, CAD No. 3309/4 Oct. 2016.

On 11/12/16, SC came up to his flat 3 times to shout abuse and complain about noise from his flat.

--

Si Note: George moved in 02/05/2016

Mr Quinton explained that the first time, he was running a bath when SC came and knocked on the door to complain about knocking pipes. He did not open the door and he shouted abuse at him and his friends and called them homophobic names.

-

He later came back again to bang on his door and shout further abuse. He also made threatened him and his exact words are 'I'm off curfew in 12 days, when I'm, I am coming for you', he shouted further abuse and walked off. Mr Quinton stated that he is not sure why he came back the second time, but he assumed that it was because of the pipes again.

-

He later came back again the third time and this time he opened the door because he has had enough. SC complained about noise from his flat and he told him that he was not making any noise.

SC then went on to tell him that he has been away for a long time and that his family was coming to look after his dog.

He asked SC if he knew anything about his bike and SC replied, 'You know what, I'm a grown man I'm not gonna lie, it was me that smashed your bike and I was gutted that the stick broke and I couldn't smash it up more'. He then asked SC about his tyres which was punctured with a knife, and he denied cutting them. He then explained to SC that the knocking pipes has nothing to do with him and that he does not bang or make deliberate noise and he advised SC to play his music over the noise if it happens again as there is nothing he can do about the pipes and the noise as it is the nature of the building. SC said cool, fair enough and walked off and as he walked off, he turned around and gave him a dirty look.

--

Si Note: This would mean the date of the: 25/12/2016.

About a week later, 2 of his friends left his flat and a short while later he heard SC running out of the front door. Soon after one of his friends called and told him that they have just had a confrontation with SC in the street. His friend informed him that SC ran up to them in the street and confronted his friend Jazz about the knocking pipe noises from his flat. Jazz told SC that it has nothing to do with him. SC then head-butted Jazz and as Jazz fell on the floor, SC jumped on top of him and started to punch him. His other friend Jevon who was with Jazz at the time pulled SC off Jazz and held him until 2 Turkish men came and separated them.

Si Note: Back to the 05/10/2016

Mr Quinton stated that the police did not contact him to update him on what action was taken against SC regarding his smashed bike. He stated that he has recording of SC admitting to smashing up his bike and played the recording to me. Although it was very faint, but you could make out what sounded like SC talking about smashing the bike. He stated that he wants to sue SC for criminal damage, he also wants to take out a restraining order against him and possibly an injunction.

He stated that his friends Simon Cocks (07393285528), Julian Jackson (07387277163) and Jazz Bramble (07375651241) are willing to provide witness statements and will attend court to give evidence on his behalf. He also wants us to find out why what action the police took regarding his smashed bike.

Telephone call received from Mr Cordell 22.11.16

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 removed. I responded that it did still need to be removed. His voice was raised throughout the exchange, and I had to ask him to calm down and lower his voice more than once. He then said that he wanted to move on to finding out about moving to another address. He proceeded to give me a full history of his experiences with the police and previous housing management and alleged that ‘Jackie’, who had previously lived above him and ‘Stan’, his immediate neighbour on the ground floor, had victimised him over a long period of time and that he had done nothing wrong. This history was very full, and it was difficult to get a word in because he was so worked up so I let him relay the information to me as it seemed like he wanted to get it off of his chest. He was very derogatory about the police and previous housing staff who had signed a request for an Asbo application against him. I told him that I could not comment about previous action taken. He then came on to more recent events and stated that there had been an incident between him and another resident where she had shouted at him out of her window because of him starting up a scrambler bike in his garden. He maintained that he was courteous during the exchange, but the police came and arrested him because she told them that he had threatened to kill her and that he had been put in the mental hospital, had won his case in court and was able to go home as of today. He said that he wanted me to give him ‘points’ so that he could move. I explained that his best means of moving would be through a mutual exchange, but he was adamant that he did not want to do this and wanted to be moved in the same way that he moved into this property 11yrs ago by being given points. I explained that a transfer was unlikely based on what he had told me so far but that I could look into the position for him. He said a lot about his perceived victimisation by his neighbours and expressed that he felt that I should I have a duty to protect him. I explained that I had a responsibility to all residents living at Burncroft Avenue and took the opportunity to mention that I had received some reports about antisocial behaviour by him that I would need to discuss with him but suggested that we leave that for today. He then put his mother on the line (she had been trying to interject throughout the conversation) who said she wanted to know why I had not responded to her messages to call her. I apologised for this and explained that I have been very busy but that I needed to know whether we had written permission from Mr Cordell for us to speak to her - she said that there was a written note recorded on our files in 2015. Mr Cordell asked her what I was asking her and when she replied that I was querying permission I clearly heard Mr Cordell say angrily and aggressively “I’m gonna do her over” and then “I’m gonna take her job just for fun”. I informed Mrs Cordell that I had overheard these remarks and that I was ending the call. She said that her son had now left the room and she was talking to me. I repeated that I would be ending the call and that she should put what she wanted to say in writing to me.

Re: CCTV camera on inner communal/fire door

It has been brought to my attention that you have fitted a security camera onto the inner communal/fire door on the ground floor of our building.

This is in breach of tenancy conditions as it has been fitted without permission.

Please arrange for the camera to be removed by Friday 25th November 2016.

Failure to remove the camera by this date will result in the Council arranging for the removal of the camera and carrying out any necessary repairs to the structure of the building for which you will be charged, and we may take action against you for breach of tenancy conditions.

Please contact me on or before 5.00pm on Friday 25th November 2016 to advise that the camera has been removed or we will proceed with the action as advised above.

Yours Sincerely,

Sarah Fletcher Enfield Council

Dear Jean,

We received a phone call from a Mr John Bates on behalf of his friend Mr Stanley Curtis. He explained that Mr Curtis is 83 and having to attend court to give evidence against a male named simon Cordell who verbally abused him. We are aware of simon Cordell as Steve/Pat obtained an ASBO against him for illegal raves etc. I believe he is also a council tenant (I need to check)

Could you initially contact Mr Curtis - obtain his address and the reasons he is going to court? Also ascertain what support he needs. It is not an open case as such but depending on your findings we

Wednesday to check it has been finalised. I will update you as soon as CPS contacts Witness Care.

Kind regards,

I received a call from Thomas Jones - Witness Care he advised that the CPS have dropped the case of Curtis v Cordell. Reason - Not enough evidence to provide a realistic prospect of any conviction. In further discussion Thomas said DC Campbell was of ill - has now returned; however, he said he will contact Mr Curtis in relation to the current position of the matter. I asked Tom if the CPS will be writing to Mr Curtis directly - he said they should advise accordingly. Tips given to report further incidents and keep records.

16/11/2016: 16/11/2016: 16/11/2016:

Visited Christine (flat 97 Burncroft Avenue) and Karen (flat 105). Christine stated that she witnessed the September when Mr Cordell threatened Mr Curtis. She stated that she was with her neighbour Karen when they heard Mr Cordell shouting and as they came out to see what was happening, she saw Mr Cordell shouting at Mr Curtis. She alleged that he was shouting abuse and threats and that Karen told him to leave Mr Curtis alone, that he is an old man. Mr Cordell then started shouting abuse and threats at Karen. Christine stated that she is not prepared to give a statement and that she will not keep incident logs.

We then met with Karen outside the block. She stated that she and Christine witnessed the incident that happened in September. She stated that Mr Cordell was shouting abuse and threats at Mr Curtis and that she told him to leave Mr Curtis alone as he is an old man and that Mr Cordell then turned against her and started threatening her. She stated that she is not afraid of him when she is on her own, that her only concern is that she is looking after 2 very vulnerable children and she will not be able to defend herself and them if Mr Cordell was to attack her when she is with them. She is happy to make a statement and will log any further incidents.

Visited Mr Curtis and Karen to hand deliver incident diaries.

Mr Curtis said he will still maintain his own logs and call the police and the council if necessary. The camera directly outside of Simone Cordell flat has been removed however, we notice that there was a camera in the communal area pointed toward the staircase - we need to find out who the camera belongs to.
