Ivy problems - next door’s creeping into my garden. Fence destroyed

Hello, so I am gradually doing up my house and I’ve started to tackle a little bit of the garden.
Next Door has Ivy growing, Which as you can imagine had completely covered all along the fence. I couldn’t even see the fence to see where mine began. We’ve got a problem with the gate so we had to cut it right back otherwise we literally couldn’t see where our post was
I’ve gone out this morning to a note saying please do not cut back the Ivy on my side which is fine
But then don’t they have to?
Is there any way and I can’t see how there is but I just wondered that it can be contained on her side.
Currently it’s grown up to about 4 foot and my plan is to put a 6 foot fence in. But surely that’s just gonna push it down

Well, World War 3 has broken out.

Apparently, I wasn’t very neighbourly and was disrespectful by cutting Ivy that she allowed to overgrow into my garden off my fence.
And then made detrimental comments about me my children the Garden furniture, etc.
Fucking hate living in a terraced house

Hopefully that’s the worst of it over and done with. Get the work done and try to move on.

Her husband and her son were there shaking their head in disbelief and mortified.
The end of the day I’ve got what I wanted didn’t I
