So, should the neighbour get rid of it? Is it ok to have in a garden, invasive or not? Her front garden is pretty large;20mx10m, mostly lawn and this cuckoo pint is just by the fence, next to a tree.
I have a few come up in my garden under the tree but they seem to be short lived, the berries go over quite quickly, its ok if you dont have any children nearby or a dog that eats anything. Up to your NDN really, but i dont mind a few. Easy to dig out if you need to.

The neighbour wishes to get rid of it, has tried for years but it keeps coming back. Have just done some research and it is considered invasive in some areas.

Arum italicum. Related to Arum maculatum, (lords and ladies) nice red berry like seed heads

I think the berry is very poisonous.
Hi nut, is that the same as cuckoo pint, which used to be everywhere when I was a child.
It is cuckoo pint.

Not Cuckoo Pint aka Lords and Ladies; that has plain green leaves. The picture is of a more refined garden variety. Nutcutlet is correct.
Not sure why you need to tell neighbour to get rid of it. Fine in a garden if you like it.
