THIS is the shocking moment a neighbour from hell dumped cement over next door’s fence.
Joanne Shreeves laughed as she waged war with her neighbours – destroying their property and threatening to kill them in her hate campaign.

Shreeves – daughter of ex-Spurs manager Peter Shreeves – turned her hose on the neighbours’ CCTV cameras in a desperate bid to break them.
Footage from the cameras, belonging to Mr Dempsey and his former partner Sandra Durdin, was show at the Stratford Magistrates’ Court hearing.
Mr Dempsey told the court his neighbour was like a “person possessed” when she lobbed boulders over his fence on October 24, 2020.
The 62-year-old said: “There was a big crunch – she went berserk.
“She went to her garage, took out her shovel and shovelled [and] and threw it over the top of the fence and actually hit me.
“You could see her throwing boulders over the fence throwing stuff at the house and windows.
“She was like a person possessed, she was a person possessed.”
Video evidence also showed the defendant spitting and shouting: “You’re a dirty c**t, you are. A f**king dirty c**t. You know what happens to dirty c**ts?”
The enraged neighbour also cut tape which read “keep out” on their boundary line.
Shreeves was previously convicted of common assault.
For Mr Dempsey’s property damage, the destructive neighbour was convicted of criminal damage with the value of £440.
However, she was granted a retrial by District Judge William Nelson in August after claiming CCTV footage was altered.
But, at her second trial she was again found guilty of common assault, causing criminal damage and one of threatening behaviour.
The defendant did not appear at the trial due to illness but again claimed the CCTV was fake as her defence.
District Judge William Nelson told the court: “To suggest that the CCTV footage has been doctored in any way beggars belief.
“What is seen on that footage is a true representation.
“They used to live next door to each other and now they have taken up three days of court time.
“There is clearly an undisguised animosity between all the parties in this case.”
When talking about Mr Dempsey’s property damage, the judge said: “I am satisfied the defendant threw a large number of objects over the fence.”
At this point in proceedings, Shreeves was heard muttering “be careful” in the dock.
The judge replied: “I hope that wasn’t a threat. You said ‘be careful’.”
“I said ‘oh,’ replied Shreeves.
“During the course of these proceedings you have been disruptive and said things to witnesses while they are giving evidence,” the judge added.
Shreeves was bailed as she awaits her sentencing on March 2.
The defendant was cleared of two counts of threatening behaviour on June 27, 2021.
