times like that you want the key to turn it off in the road  

You should be able to shut it off outside your drive/gate  , If you recall i had similar not a massive leak but a leak & they had tarmaced over the stop tap so just put a pick through rough area that it was found it after a couple of goes they came & sorted that later but I managed to then sort out my leak in the house !

ive looked at the bottom of my drive and all around my drive and couldn't find anything
there is a water tap cover in my back garden but when i opened it up it was full of soil and worms

in my old estate the water taps were in one central point they had a big drain cover over them but the drain had water cut off or summat stamped on it

also had water meters in it too

a water key can be obtained from B&Q for £13 very useful!

been in a similar situation - but I dug the soil & worms out with hands and eventually I got to a stop-cock.  kept removing the earth around it and eventually managed to turn it off.
