Propose a change

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

What to do with it
As published

31 Pollution controls, etc.

(1) If any operation for or in connection with the maintenance or improvement of any part of the crossing is carried out otherwise than by or on behalf of the Secretary of State, a prohibition or restriction to which this section applies shall not have effect in relation to the operation if it would not have effect in relation to the operation if the operation were carried out by the Secretary of State. (2) This section applies to— (a) any prohibition on the carrying out of operations or on carrying them out without the consent of any person; (b) any restriction on the level of noise which may be emitted in the course of carrying out operations; (c) any prohibition or restriction on the times when or the period of time for which operations may be carried out; and (d) any prohibition or restriction on depositing materials in or discharging materials into any waters; imposed by or under any enactment other than this Act, other than any prohibition or restriction imposed by or under the relevant statutory provisions (within the meaning of Part I of the Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974). (3) In this section “operation” means any works or action.

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.
