Sad to return to this but, I had some joiners in to put a fence up on the boundary posts. My neighbour behind had an argument with them saying how I'd complained to the police about him and asking what they were doing putting a fence up. The joiner said that during the conversation my neighbour was recording them on the phone. Should we worry about this?
So long as they aren't doing anything they shouldn't be there is nothing to worry about. If you've already spoken to the police about this then speak to them again, it's already going to be registered somewhere (which you'll understand due to your job) and if you report this straight away then a pattern of behaviour is quickly building up.
Edhelka that's what I'm fearing but I'm hoping that to create a dispute will cost him too much and hes just doing it to scare us. We just used the boundary posts that have been In the ground since the house was built. I think I might call the police to let them know. Looks like this won't be forgotten about.

I concur 100%.
He's moving into the territory of harassment. Go straight back to the police ASAP.
Hostafan I felt like this was the case a few years ago when he persisted with us.
I just spoke to police and he noted what I had told him. He said it's not an offence to put a fence up in your garden. The policeman said he can record whatever he wants as it was from his garden (I was quite surprised at this). I spoke to my next door neighbour and they had a letter last december from the neighbours behind them asking for them to cut their trees because of fleas from birds, ultimately she said its down to jealousy because they want the view/ location that we have. She agreed the approach of my neighbour was that he was basically forcing us to comply with what he wanted, and she said we did the right thing going to the police to tell him he can't always get what he wants and that he's infringing our human rights with our right to privacy. She thinks he was 'recording' my joiner because he was 'worried when we had gone to police. Total nightmare.

He should have bought a different house then.
They guy is a complete ****. Stick to your guns. Record every incident. He might try and bluff you because he's seeing that you aren't going to just lie down and take it. He might even push further, so be prepared for that.
It's very wearing for you, but you have the support of people here, even if we can't support you physically, and you have that other neighbour on your side as well. Hang on to that
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
Definitely get it on the police record. And if the joiners felt harassed or that their privacy was invaded by being filmed, they should make a separate complaint against your neighbour too. People should be able to do their jobs without harassment.
