The Gatwick Airport (Northern Runway Project) Development Consent Order 2025

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.

(2) Such an agreement may, without limitation on the scope of paragraph (1)— (a) make provision for the relevant highway authority to carry out any function under this Order which relates to the highway in question; (b) include an agreement between the undertaker and the relevant highway authority specifying a reasonable time for the completion of the works; and (c) contain such terms as to payment and other matters as the parties consider appropriate, including such matters as may be included in agreements made pursuant to section 278 (agreements as to execution of works) or section 38 (power of highway authorities to adopt by agreement) of the 1980 Act. (3) The undertaker must not commence a local highway work prior to entering into an agreement pursuant to paragraph (1) which includes details of the specification of that work which will reasonably satisfy the relevant highway authority for the purpose of article 20 (construction and maintenance of local highway works), and related provisions in relation to the maintenance and adoption of such works pursuant to that article.

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.
