A woman who barged into a neighbour's house shouting abuse admitted a charge of assault when she appeared in court.

Lucy Jane Bethany Goode was made subject to a 12 month Community Order and must attend 25 days of rehabilitation activity.

A Restraining Order means the 37-year-old, of Marina Avenue, Fairbourne near Barmouth must not contact Rhian Walford or enter her address for the next three years.

Judge Huw Rees, sitting at Caernarfon Crown Court, warned Goode to comply with the order.

"You must attend the rehabilitation as directed. You will not get the same opportunity again," he said.

The court heard Goode had been Mrs Walford's neighbour for the past three years and there had been issues between them in that time.

On April 23 last year Mrs Walford was in her kitchen with her grandchildren when she heard banging on the front door.

Anna Price, prosecuting, said she went into the living room and saw Goode shouting and demanding to see Mrs Walford's son.

"The children were upset at the shouting by the defendant and were taken to a bedroom.

"Mrs Walford told Goode to get out but she continued to shout and made threats towards her," she said.

Mrs Walford's daughter, hearing the commotion, alerted a police officer who warned her to leave the house.

She was taken home and when she had calmed down was arrested.

During interview she accepted she had been at the house and was upset following the death of her dog.

Defence counsel Simon Killeen said the Probation Service had prepared an useful report which had made constructive proposals to address Goode's mental health issues. He asked the court to follow its recommendations.
