Hi. Have problem with neighbour and Police have asked us to record all incidents. Neighbour invited District Councillor to property and had conversation with him outside, which was overheard and recorded by my partner. Neighbour was defamatory in remarks about us to Councillor. Have asked Councillor to confirm comments, but he states that the conversation was confidential, despite being in earshot and recorded and being told that he was heard. Would like to ask if the conversation remained confidential?? Thank you

The conversation with the councillor is not privileged, but if the councillor does not wish to tell you what was said how do you propose to force him to? Unless you are proposing to sue for defamation, what's the point, anyway?
Your neighbour speaking to his councillor is unlikely to be the sort of incident the police are interested in. That you you disagree with what your neighbour said is hardly surprising, as there are always two sides to all these disputes.
Can I ask how your partner came to overhear the conversation? -
Sorry, just to check. You say the conversation was recorded. That raises two points. First, if you have a recording, you don't need anything from the councillor. Second, are you bugging the neighbourhood?Comment

My wife was in our garden. We have had incidents with the neighbour, and the Police, for our own protection have asked us to record any incidents, which is what was doneOriginally posted by 2222 View PostComment

That's fine, but I don't think that your neighbour Speaking to his councillor is an 'incident '. If he was in his garden, talking in a reasonable voice to the local councillor, most people would think he has a reasonable right to privacy. I'm not surprised by the councillor's response.Comment
