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.

What to do with it
As published

6 Appeal against map after confirmation.

(1) Any person having an interest in any land may appeal— (a) in the case of land in England, to the Secretary of State, or (b) in the case of land in Wales, to the National Assembly for Wales, against the showing of that land on a map in provisional form as registered common land or as open country. (2) An appeal relating to the showing of any land as registered common land may be brought only on the ground that the land is not registered common land. (3) An appeal relating to the showing of any land as open country may be brought only on the ground that— (a) the land does not consist wholly or predominantly of mountain, moor, heath or down, and (b) to the extent that the appropriate countryside body have exercised their discretion under section 4(5)(b) to treat land which is not open country as forming part of an area of open country, the body ought not to have done so. (4) On an appeal under this section, the Secretary of State or the National Assembly for Wales may— (a) approve the whole or part of the map which is the subject of the appeal, with or without modifications, or (b) require the appropriate countryside body to prepare under section 4 a new map relating to all or part of the area covered by the map which is the subject of the appeal.

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.
