Propose a change

Commons Act 2006

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.

6 Creation

(1) A right of common cannot at any time after the commencement of this section be created over land to which this Part applies by virtue of prescription. (2) A right of common cannot at any time after the commencement of this section be created in any other way over land to which this Part applies except— (a) as specified in subsection (3); or (b) pursuant to any other enactment.

(4) The creation of a right of common in accordance with subsection (3) only has effect if it complies with such requirements as to form and content as regulations may provide. (5) The creation of a right of common in accordance with subsection (3) does not operate at law until on an application under this section— (a) the right is registered in a register of common land; and (b) if the right is created over land not registered as common land, the land is registered in a register of common land. (6) An application under this section to register the creation of a right of common consisting of a right to graze any animal is to be refused if in the opinion of the commons registration authority the land over which it is created would be unable to sustain the exercise of— (a) that right; and (b) if the land is already registered as common land, any other rights of common registered as exercisable over the land.

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.
