The M5 Junction 10 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.

16 Permanent stopping up and restriction of use of streets and private means of access
(1) Subject to the provisions of this article, the undertaker may, in connection with the carrying out of the authorised development, stop up each of the streets and private means of access specified in columns (1) and (2) of Parts 1, 2, 3 and 4 of Schedule 4 (permanent stopping up of highways and private means of access and provision of new highways and private means of access) to the extent specified and described in column (3) of those Parts of that Schedule. (2) No street or private means of access specified in columns (1) and (2) of Parts 2 (highways to be stopped up for which a substitute is to be provided and new highways which are otherwise to be provided) and 4 (private means of access to be stopped up for which a substitute is to be provided and new private means of access which are otherwise to be provided) of Schedule 4 is to be wholly or partly stopped up under this article unless— (a) the new street or private means of access to be constructed and substituted for it, which is specified in column (4) of those Parts of that Schedule, has been completed to the reasonable satisfaction of the street authority and is open for use; or (b) a temporary alternative route for the passage of such traffic as could have used the street or private means of access to be stopped up is first provided and subsequently maintained by the undertaker, to the reasonable satisfaction of the street authority, between the commencement and termination points for the stopping up of the street or private means of access until the completion and opening of the new street or private means of access in accordance with sub-paragraph (a). (3) No street or private means of access specified in columns (1) and (2) of Parts 1 (highways to be stopped up for which no substitutes is to be provided) and 3 (private means of access to be stopped up for which no substitute is to be provided) of Schedule 4 is to be wholly or partly stopped up under this article unless the condition specified in paragraph (4) is satisfied in relation to all the land which abuts on either side of the street or private means of access to be stopped up. (4) The condition referred to in paragraph (3) is that— (a) the undertaker is in possession of the land; (b) there is no right of access to the land from the street or private means of access concerned; (c) there is reasonably convenient access to the land otherwise than from the street or private means of access concerned; or (d) the owners and occupiers of the land have agreed to the stopping up. (5) Where a street or private means of access has been stopped up under this article— (a) all rights of way over or along the street or private means of access so stopped up are extinguished; and (b) the undertaker may appropriate and use for the purposes of the authorised development so much of the site of the street or private means of access as is bounded on both sides by land owned by the undertaker. (6) Any person who suffers loss by the suspension or extinguishment of any private right of way under this article is entitled to compensation to be determined, in case of dispute, as if it were a dispute under Part 1 of the 1961 Act. (7) This article is subject to article 34 (apparatus and rights of statutory undertakers in stopped up streets).

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.
