New Roads and Street Works Act 1991

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.

What to do with it
As published

64 Traffic-sensitive streets.

(1) Regulations made for the purposes of section 54, 55 or 57 (notices required to be given in respect of street works) or paragraph 2 of Schedule 3A may make special provision in relation to street works in a street designated by the street authority as traffic-sensitive. (2) The Secretary of State may prescribe— (a) the criteria for designating a street as traffic-sensitive, (b) the procedure for making or withdrawing such a designation, and (c) the information to be made available by a street authority as to the streets for the time being so designated by them. (3) If it appears to the street authority that the prescribed criteria are met only at certain times or on certain dates, a limited designation may be made accordingly. In such a case the reference in subsection (1) to the execution of works in a street designated as traffic-sensitive shall be construed as a reference to works so executed at those times or on those dates. (4) Where any council of a London borough or the Common Council of the City of London are asked by the Traffic Director for London to designate a street as a traffic-sensitive street and they decline to do so, the Director may appeal to the Secretary of State who may direct that the street be designated.

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.
