The 80-year-old wife of a former Tottenham Hotspur manager has been told by a court to accept a caution for spraying a hose into her neighbours’ kitchen during a long-running dispute.

Carole Shreeves, wife of former football manager Peter Shreeves, faced trial for causing £4,829 of damage to the £1.3m property of her long-suffering neighbours Trevor Dempsey and Sandra Durdin.

A bitter ‘war of the hoses’ dispute has raged for years, apparently starting in 2019 with a dispute over work on the brick pillar between their driveways in a smart area of east London.

The latest in a long series of court hearings took place yesterday at Thames Magistrates court - and concluded with Mrs Shreeves, who did not attend, being urged to attend a police station to formally accept a caution for the offence.
