Thanks for all the advice so far, so i went down and cleaned out the stop tap chamber and its an ancient looking thing with the lead pipe soldered to the stop tap which looks like brass. See photo.
The question is do i just lead lock the MDPE to the lead pipe, or should i melt the solder off to see if i can connect to the tap itself.
Or do i get the utility company to change the stop tap??

All advice gratefully appreciated.
