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.

(1) It is the duty of every mayoral combined authority and every mayoral CCA to prepare, at such time or times as the Secretary of State may direct, a report containing— (a) an assessment of the levels of local road traffic using key route network roads in the area, and (b) a forecast of the growth in those levels. (2) Subject to subsection (5), the report must also specify targets for— (a) a reduction in the levels of local road traffic using key route network roads in the area, or (b) a reduction in the rate of growth in the levels of such traffic. (3) The report must also contain any other information or proposals which— (a) relate to levels of local road traffic using key route network roads in the area, and (b) are required by guidance under subsection (6). (4) The report— (a) may specify different targets for different parts of the area or for different classes of local road traffic using key route network roads, and (b) may specify targets— (i) under subsection (2)(a) in relation to certain classes of local road traffic using key route network roads, or in relation to part of the area, and (ii) under subsection (2)(b) in relation to other classes of local road traffic using key route network roads or in relation to another part of the area. (5) A mayoral combined authority or mayoral CCA is not obliged to specify targets under subsection (2)(a) or (b) in relation to the area, or in relation to any part of the area, if they consider it inappropriate to do so, but in that case the report must state— (a) that the authority considers it inappropriate to do so, and (b) the authority’s reasons for so considering.

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.
