Even with a new supply the water might drop eg won’t stay at a solid 16lpm as the water services in the area might not be upto all capacity etc

Tbh new 25mm water service and install an accumulator
 
GB pipework is metric (unlike ours which is still imperial) so 25mm is probably ~ 19mm ID or(3/4"), you can look up a table to give you the relevant numbers but probably not a huge difference in installation cost if going for a larger diameter.
There are two types of accumulator, one builds up a accumulated vol when pressure rises due to reduction in demand, the other is a pumped type.
Suggest buying a pressure gauge that you can stick on the end of a outside tap and monitor the pressure over various usages/times before making any decisions.
 
Many thanks for everyone's advice and comments. I think I have a better understanding of the issues now, even though I am not sure of the best way to move forward to improve the situation!

Thanks for now.
