The Surrey (Structural Changes) 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
31 Duties of the West Surrey shadow authority: executive arrangements
(1) At its first meeting, the West Surrey shadow authority must create a leader and cabinet executive within the meaning of Part 1A of the 2000 Act (arrangements with respect to local authority governance in England) (“the West Surrey shadow executive”). (2) With the exception of Chapter 4 (changing governance arrangements) the provisions of Part 1A of the 2000 Act, to the extent that they relate to a leader and cabinet executive, have effect in relation to the West Surrey shadow authority as if— (a) the West Surrey shadow executive were a leader and cabinet executive of a district council; (b) the executive arrangements that it makes were executive arrangements of a district council; (c) section 9E (discharge of duties: general) authorised the West Surrey shadow executive to delegate functions not only to officers of the shadow authority but also to officers of the county council and the West Surrey councils. (3) Chapter 7 of Part 1 of the 2011 Act (standards) applies in relation to the West Surrey shadow authority as if— (a) it were a district council (but not a principal authority in relation to a parish council); and (b) references to co-opted members were omitted.

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.

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.
