Propose a change

Countryside and Rights of Way Act 2000

Write the words of this act the way you think they should read. Solon shows your change as a redline against the published text and pins it to that exact text, so it can never be applied to wording you did not see.

35 Agreements with respect to means of access.

(1) Where, in respect of any access land, it appears to the access authority that— (a) the opening-up, improvement or repair of any means of access to the land, (b) the construction of any new means of access to the land, (c) the maintenance of any means of access to the land, or (d) the imposition of restrictions— (i) on the destruction, removal, alteration or stopping-up of any means of access to the land, or (ii) on the doing of any thing whereby the use of any such means of access to the land by the public would be impeded, is necessary for giving the public reasonable access to that land in exercise of the right conferred by section 2(1), the access authority may enter into an agreement with the owner or occupier of the land as to the carrying out of the works or the imposition of the restrictions. (2) An agreement under this section may provide— (a) for the carrying out of works by the owner or occupier or by the access authority, and (b) for the making of payments by the access authority— (i) as a contribution towards, or for the purpose of defraying, costs incurred by the owner or occupier in carrying out any works for which the agreement provides, or (ii) in consideration of the imposition of any restriction.

One line that says what changes, such as "Halve the dog tax".

Who it helps, what it costs, what it fixes. It is what persuades people to support it.

A proposal here is not law. Support on Solon is evidence that people want the change; the official route says what it takes to make it law.

Think it through

Ask what your change would do, who would gain and who would bear a cost, and where something like it is already law. The assistant reads your draft as it stands, cites the law and the studies it finds, and takes no side. What you file stays yours.
