What to do with it
As published

29 Traffic directors in London

(1) Subsections (2) to (4) apply where a traffic director is appointed in relation to a London authority. (2) A copy of any report made by a traffic director to the authority shall be given to the Mayor. (3) In carrying out his duties the traffic director need not comply with, or have regard to, any directions or guidance given by the Mayor under Part 4 of the Greater London Authority Act 1999 (c. 29). (4) The duty to comply with a direction given by the traffic director prevails, to the extent of any inconsistency, over the duty to comply with, or have regard to, any direction or guidance mentioned in subsection (3). (5) Subsections (6) to (8) apply where a traffic director is appointed in relation to Transport for London. (6) If the traffic director— (a) exercises the power of Transport for London under subsection (3) of section 301A of the Highways Act 1980 (c. 66) to object to a proposal and does not withdraw that objection, or (b) directs Transport for London to exercise the power to object to a proposal and not to withdraw the objection, that section has effect as if subsections (3)(d) and (4) were omitted. (7) If the traffic director— (a) exercises the power of Transport for London under subsection (3) of section 121B of the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984 (c. 27) to object to a proposal and does not withdraw that objection, or (b) directs Transport for London to exercise the power to object to a proposal and not to withdraw the objection, that section has effect as if subsections (3)(d) and (4) were omitted. (8) While the intervention order to which the appointment relates is in force the Mayor may not, without the consent of the traffic director, issue a direction under— (a) section 301A(9) of the Highways Act 1980, or (b) section 121B(9) of the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984, dispensing with any of the requirements mentioned there (whether or not by varying an existing direction).

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.
