No, I'm afraid it is not.

A magistrates' Court, unlike the higher courts, is not a Court of Record. 
The legal adviser takes notes but these are in summary form and are to help 
the magistrates if clarification is needed. Crown Court proceedings are 
recorded, usually on tape but sometimes by a stenographer. You can buy a 
transcript but it isn't cheap.

It's all down to cost really.
