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.
Change 1
As published
37 Extension of powers for purposes of general scheme of traffic control.
(1) This section applies to an order made under both section 1 and section 32 of this Act by—
(a) the council of a county or metropolitan district in England and Wales, or
(b) by a council constituted under section 2 of the Local Government etc. (Scotland) Act 1994 in Scotland,
where the order is, and is stated to be, made by virtue of this section and for the purposes of a general scheme of traffic control in a stated area.
(2) Without prejudice to Parts I to III of Schedule 9 to this Act, the following provisions of this Act, that is to say, section 3(1), so far as it relates to vehicles, and sections 3(2) and 36(1)(a), shall not apply to any order to which this section applies, or to any order under this Act revoking or varying such an order.
(3) Any provision of—
(a) an order to which this section applies in so far as it has effect by virtue of section 1 of this Act, or
(b) an order revoking or varying such an order, in so far as the order revoked or varied has effect by virtue of that section,
may, notwithstanding anything in that section, be made so as to apply to a road for which the Secretary of State or a strategic highways company is the traffic authority.
(4) No authority shall make an order to which this section applies unless they are satisfied that the general scheme of traffic control—
(a) is adequate in point of area;
(b) takes adequate account of the need for maintaining the free movement of traffic and of the need for maintaining reasonable access to premises;
(c) takes adequate account of the effect of heavy commercial vehicles on amenities; and
(d) makes provision for street parking places, and for regulating their use with the aid of apparatus or devices . . ., which is suitable, regard being had to the extent to which off-street parking places are available in the neighbourhood or their provision is likely to be encouraged by the scheme.

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.
