Why does my cistern water inlet valve not shut? ?

The cistern inlet has stopped shutting. water continues to flow and escapes through the overflow into the pan.

The seal in the valve needs replacing - a complete valve with float etc may be bought relatively cheaply. If you can turn off the water and are handy with a spanner then it's an easy job. Or call a neighbour or even a plumber.
