Propose a change

Forestry Act 1967

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

26A Appeals against notices given under section 24C(3) and 24D(2)

(1) The following persons have a right to bring an appeal against a notice given under section 24C(3) if the person thinks that any of the grounds set out in subsection (2) applies— (a) the person to whom the notice was given; (b) a person who has such estate or interest in the land as is referred to in section 10(1); (c) the owner of the trees. (2) The grounds are— (a) a condition referred to in the notice has been complied with or is being complied with; (b) suspending or revoking the felling licence is unreasonable or disproportionate; (c) the variation of a condition of the felling licence, or the imposition of a new condition, is unreasonable or disproportionate; (d) a step specified in the notice is unreasonable or disproportionate; (e) where the notice has suspended the felling licence, the suspension should have been brought to an end by a notice given under section 24C(7)(b). (3) A person to whom a notice has been given under section 24D(2) has a right to bring an appeal against the notice if the person thinks that a step specified in the notice is unreasonable or disproportionate. (4) An appeal under this section is brought by serving a notice on the Welsh Ministers requesting that they refer the matter to a committee appointed in accordance with section 27 (and see section 26C for further provision about such requests).

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.
