The A12 Chelmsford to A120 Widening Development Consent Order 2024
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
46 Felling or lopping of trees and removal of hedgerows
(1) The undertaker may fell or lop any tree (other than a tree subject to a tree preservation order) or shrub, or cut back its roots, within or overhanging land within the Order limits if it reasonably believes it to be necessary to do so to prevent the tree or shrub— (a) from obstructing or interfering with the construction, maintenance or operation of the authorised development or any apparatus used in connection with the authorised development; or (b) from constituting a danger to persons using the authorised development. (2) In carrying out any activity authorised by paragraph (1) or (4) the undertaker must— (a) do no unnecessary damage to any tree or shrub; and (b) pay compensation to any person for any loss or damage arising from such activity. (3) Any dispute as to a person’s entitlement to compensation under paragraph (2), or as to the amount of compensation, is to be determined as if it were a dispute under Part 1 of the 1961 Act. (4) The undertaker may, for the purposes of carrying out the authorised development but subject to paragraph (2)— (a) remove any hedgerow described in Part 1 (removal of important hedgerows) or Part 2 (removal of other hedgerows) of Schedule 9 (hedgerows and trees); and (b) subject to consultation with the relevant planning authority, remove any hedgerow within the Order limits that may be identified and that is not otherwise set out within Part 1 or Part 2 of Schedule 9. (5) In this article “hedgerow” has the same meaning as in the Hedgerows Regulations 1997 and includes important hedgerows.

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.
How this law is officially changed
Solon does not know this law's official route yet. The proposal is recorded all the same, and the route appears here once its source is added.
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.
