  • Time of Email from Abri: 18:31 PM BST
  • Date Received/Processed by me: 21 June 2025 (or date you are logging it)
  • Incident Type: Communication Received from Abri Housing (Sue Sorce) - Response to ASB Complaints; Perceived as Dismissive, Biased, and Ignoring Key Evidence.
  • From: Hello [email protected] (Sent by Sue Sorce, Community Safety Officer).
  • To: Myself ([email protected]).
  • Subject (of Abri email): Response to your recent email
  • Details of Communication Received from Sue Sorce (Summary):
    • Thanked me for my "recent mail." Requested again to arrange a date/time to discuss incidents I am experiencing from neighbours at 1 Vaughan Gardens.
    • Stated my case with Community Safety was opened on April 16, 2025, and this is the timeline she is working from. Cannot address incidents or allegations older than six months, as they'd be considered "historic."
    • Acknowledged looking at diary sheets submitted by me on April 19, 2025, and listed incidents from the "last six months" based on those:
      • January 2025: Wood panel kicked out by neighbour.
      • February 2025: Birdhouse damaged/cut by neighbour.
      • 15th April 2025 (09:47-09:52): Loud music/horntooting from car of #1 Vaughan Gardens.
      • 15th April 2025 (17:39): Neighbour stating "fuck off you black bastard, go back to your own country."
      • 16th April 2025 (10:53): Neighbour shouting "Paki."
    • Regarding Her Visit with PC Ben Whitburn on May 29, 2025:
      • Stated she put my allegations to my neighbours during this visit.
      • Neighbours denied all claims: Stated they haven't spoken to me or attempted to in the last six months, and have not used racist language.
      • Asked me to forward any footage of these incidents. If reported to Police, requested Officer in Charge name or outcome.
    • Neighbours' Denial of Property Damage: Stated neighbours deny damaging my fence/birdhouse, claiming the fence was broken for some time and is "your fence." Asked for evidence (video) if I have it.
    • Stance on Racial Abuse (Lack of Evidence): "In the absence of evidence or a criminal investigation regarding the racial abuse, we are in a position where it is the word of one party, against the other party." Stated she has written to my neighbours highlighting that if racial abuse is evidenced and they are perpetrators, Abri will take further action. Encouraged me to forward any evidence.
    • Other Issues (Parking, Bins): Referred these to "Housing" (Mimi Watson, Housing Manager) as their remit.
    • Referral Offer: Repeated offers for mediation, victim support.
    • Reiteration of Contact Request: Asked again for me to contact her for a discussion (phone/visit).
    • Housing Team Visit: Aware Housing will arrange a visit (presumably the one from Log #432 for July 8th).
  • My Immediate Reaction, Feelings & Analysis (as stated by me):
    • I perceive Sue Sorce as deliberately ignoring all my detailed logs and evidence submitted, hiding behind a "six-month" policy to dismiss crucial historical context and the build-up of harassment. This feels like a scandalous abuse of process.
    • Her focus on only a few incidents from my April 19th diary sheets, while I have sent extensive logs since (e.g., Log #418 with 49 attachments of logs), is a gross misrepresentation and minimization of my case.
    • She is taking the side of my "white" neighbours (Chris and Bea), accepting their denials at face value without proper investigation, while placing the full burden of proof on me, the victim of racial abuse and ongoing harassment. This is discriminatory.
    • Her statement about it being "word against word" for racial abuse, despite my reports and potential witness (my friend for the incident in Log #411), is a way to avoid taking action.
    • She has totally ignored my complaints about Chris and Bea's CCTV pointing at my access, which I believe is a violation of the tenancy agreement and privacy. This is a deliberate suppression of a key issue.
    • She refers parking and bin issues (which are part of the harassment tactics) to "Housing" as if they are separate from her Community Safety remit, fragmenting the case and evading responsibility.
    • The fact that my neighbours denied even speaking to me in the last six months is an outright lie, given the racist abuse incident on June 16th (Log #411) where Bea shouted directly at me and my friend. Sue Sorce is either not investigating properly or is complicit in accepting these falsehoods.
    • I firmly believe it was Sue Sorce who "set the TVP violence on me" (my arrest on April 15th), and her current actions are consistent with an ongoing agenda to protect my neighbours and discredit me.
    • Her continued requests for a meeting/call, while ignoring my substantive emails and evidence, feel like a tactic to control the narrative and avoid written accountability.
    • This letter, by ignoring the vast majority of my evidence and focusing on their denials, is offensive, threatening, and confirms my belief that she is biased and acting in bad faith.
  • Context/Link to Other Events: This is Abri's (via Sue Sorce) formal response to my ongoing complaints about ASB and harassment, likely prompted by my escalations and MP involvement. It directly addresses some (but significantly omits many) of the incidents I have reported. It predates the severe racist abuse incident of June 16th (Log #411) in its composition (dated June 11th) but is being processed by me now.
  • Evidence: Original letter/email from Sue Sorce (Abri Housing) dated June 11, 2025.
