A woman hopes to move from the area over an ongoing neighbour dispute, a court has heard.

Valerie Corbett admitted to acting in an aggressive manner on March 30 this year in her home on Clydebank's Birch Road when she shouted and swore at her neighbour.

The Parkhall resident also previously pleaded guilty at Dumbarton Sheriff Court to uttering a homophobic remark whilst in EE in the Clyde Shopping Centre on August 5 last year.

The 61-year-old appeared for sentencing this week it was explained to Sheriff William Gallacher that her most recent incident was over an "ongoing neighbour dispute" and that she plans to move address later this year.

The lawyer said: "I advise that there was an offer submitted on the property. The purchaser of the property withdrew for reasons not linked to Ms Corbett or matters with the property. The property will go back on the market."

Sheriff Gallacher replied: "What's to satisfy me that the situation won't arise again tomorrow or next week?"

The lawyer added: "She has taken steps to address underlying issues within herself. I understand your lordship's concerns in that department. She is taking positive steps to deal with the factors that are undoubtedly relevant to her offending.  She understands that if she was to appear before you again she might not be so lucky."

Sheriff Gallacher told Corbett: "I have heard what was said and what you are doing in relation to your personal circumstances and I think that is necessary. The court makes orders and requires people to do things. In some ways, in almost all cases where interested in relation to the why and the focus on the person involved is an important one.

"There is a balance that needs to be struck. For good or bad reason if the person can't comply with what's required of them then it can't continue. You are very close to that."

Corbett was placed on a structured deferred sentence. A further review was set for August this year.
