Propose a change

National Parks and Access to the Countryside Act 1949

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.

As published

55C Alternative routes

(1) This section applies in relation to a report under section 51 prepared pursuant to the coastal access duty. (2) The report may include, in relation to the route (“the ordinary route”) or any part of it, a proposal under subsection (3) or (4). (3) A proposal under this subsection is a proposal for an alternative route which is to operate as a diversion from the ordinary route, or part, during one or both of the following— (a) any specified period (or periods), and (b) any period during which access to the ordinary route or part is excluded by reason of a direction under Chapter 2 of Part 1 of the CROW Act (exclusion or restriction of access). (4) A proposal under this subsection is a proposal for an alternative route which is to operate as an optional alternative to the ordinary route, or part, during any period for which the ordinary route, or part, might reasonably be regarded as unsuitable for use by reason of— (a) flooding, (b) the action of the tide, (c) coastal erosion or encroachment by the sea, or (d) the effect of any other geomorphological process. (5) In subsection (3)(a) “specified” means— (a) specified in, or determined in accordance with, the proposal, or (b) determined in accordance with the proposal by— (i) a person specified in the proposal, or (ii) a person determined in accordance with the proposal, details of whom are notified to Natural England in accordance with the proposal.

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.
