A dispute over the fencing of a roadside verge landed a Makotuku woman in Dannevirke District Court on a charge of assaulting her neighbour.
Beverley Polkinghorne was charged with assaulting Helen Upson on May 14 on the Matamau/Ormondville Rd, a charge she denied.
Prosecutor Anna Barham said there was a confrontation between the women in which Polkinghorne used her shoulder to make contact with Ms Upson and then either pushed or punched her.
Q: One of our neighbors has a dog that is constantly roaming our street. He is not vicious, but does chase my daughter in our yard, terrorize our outdoor cats, and his new trick is to just follow me inside the house. We have taken her home countless times.
The owners seem not to care at all and since they only speak Spanish itâs hard to communicate with them.
I have called the sheriffâs department non-emergency number and reported it at least 20 times, and nothing has been done. I donât want to see her hit by a car, but I guess if her owners donât care itâs a matter of time.
