nuisance and the number of individuals that come into
                 the area. These raves are usually poorly run and cause
                 damage not only to the buildings being used but to the
                 environment. The properties being used for such
                 events are commonly disused buildings; the organisers
                 have no idea as to whether these buildings are safe.
                 Recently there have been a number of deaths at raves;
                 the most recent was a young 15-year-old male who
                 died at a Rave in Croydon which was believed to be
                 attended by around 2000 revellers. Raves are
                 notorious for drugs being present. These illegal events
                 have a huge impact on Police. Officers are called to
                 the venues and also there are a huge number of calls
                 from members of the public and residents
                 complaining. This type of illegal event cannot be
                 tolerated, and action must be taken to disrupt these
                 events and if a court order is not granted then Simon
                 CORDELL is free to continue to organise such events.
                 Simon CORDELL has openly admitted to officers that
                 he runs such events and has even bragged about it to
                 Police.

                 Reports involving Simon CORDELL:

                 1. On 10th August 2014, Officers arrived at Millmarsh
                 Lane, there was numerous young people milling
                 around trying to locate the rave which was eventually
                 found on the North footway just by the Greggs
                 factory. It was a small strip of concrete completely
                 open to the air with a large amplified sound system at
                 the far end obstructed from view of the street by
                 vegetation. Simon CORDELL was at the gate and
                 immediately shut it on Police arrival. Eventually, Mr
                 CORDELL agreed to let me and A/PS AMES onto the
                 property to confirm there was no damage or theft
                 offences being committed. Simon CORDELL'S silver
                 Ford Focus VRM MA57LDY was present and
                 contained at least three massive nitrous oxide tanks.
                 When queried he admitted he had seen the news
                 article about the dangerous effects of this and how the
