Toilet Cistern Overflowing (Picture Included)

[Nelder]

The stopcock in the house is stuck open, and I couldn't get to the UU one in the pavement as there was a car parked over it.

I would suggest you get the stopcock inside your house working again.
(The spindle will need scraped clean and the packing nut at spindle slackened back to clean rest of spindle before using some silicone grease and retightening the nut).
Bending the cistern ball valve arm will only have put more pressure on the valve and washer and would be best to repair it properly with new washer

ok thanks, i will probably just replace it for a side entry FM.

I'm reluctant to spend time on the stopcock as the water main (lead) and stopcock will be replaced next year when we extend the house.

The toilet will also be replaced along with the upstairs bathroom.

We only moved into the house a few weeks ago and its in need of some TLC, but with the pending extension and works next year I'm reluctant to spend money on things that will be getting ripped out.

Not particularly because I'm tight but its just such a waste.
