Hi when re-packing a stop tap gland do you need to isolate the water at the stop tap in the street before removing the nut/ packing gland?

No, not just to pack the gland.
It may help if the stop cock is turned off though......you won't get a deluge anyway, just a few drips.
I use ptfe cord plus some Vaseline......push as much in as you can because it compresses down to almost nothing.
