Propose a change

Town and Country Planning Act 1971

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.

(2) For the purposes of this Part of this Act land shall be taken to have had such a balance if, immediately after the time referred to in subsection (1) of this section— (a) there were subsisting one or more claim holdings whose area consisted of that land, or included that land together with other land; and (b) there was not subsisting any claim holding whose area consisted of part only of that land, whether with or without other land. (3) Where subsection (2) of this section applies, there shall be attributed to the land referred to in that subsection— (a) the value of any claim holding having an area consisting of that land ; and (b) such fraction of the value of any claim holding whose area included that land as attached to that land, and the original unexpended balance of established development value of that land shall be taken to have been an amount equal to eight-sevenths of the amount or aggregate amount so attributed.

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.
