The boundary "rat box" is the property of the local water authority.
I don't think that they'd be that interested in supplying you with a new key thgough.
One of those "hex T bars" that you can buy from any £ shop should do the job.
I'm taking it that it's actually a "rat box" with either room for or a fitted water metre inside.
Tappy,

As above, or if you've got a socket set with an extension it will fit the on the hex. Can't remember what size socket fits, but have used one on the odd occasion the plastic key's missing. Doesn't need to be tightened too tight to turn off the water, as the hex is only plastic. The keys limit the torque you can apply, but with sockets there's the potential to over do it.
