Propose a change

The Port of Tyne Harbour Revision Order 2026

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

What to do with it
As published

23 Deposit for charges

(1) The Authority may, if it thinks fit, require a person who incurs or is about to incur a charge to deposit with it, or to guarantee, such sum of money as is, in the opinion of the Authority, reasonable having regard to the amount or probable amount of the charge. (2) Where such a person fails to deposit or guarantee the sum of money required, the Authority may detain in the port the vessel or goods to which the charge relates, or refuse entry to, or require removal from the port of the vessel or goods, until the requirement has been complied with or the charge paid. (3) Where such a person deposits the sum of money required, the Authority must return the surplus to that person within a reasonable time if— (a) no charge was incurred; (b) the deposited sum exceeds the actual charge incurred.

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.
