Dartford-Thurrock Crossing Act 1988
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.
Change 1
25 Large vehicles and safety.
(1) Regulations may make provision— (a) for the regulation by the crossing operator of the use of the crossing by vehicles exceeding such dimensions or weight as may be prescribed; (b) for the prohibition or regulation by the crossing operator of the conveyance through the tunnels of any goods, substances or other things capable of being conveyed which are dangerous, including provision for searching vehicles suspected of conveying any such things; and (c) for eliminating or reducing the risk of fire in the tunnels.

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.
