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

38 Restrictions on works on crossing and approach roads.

(1) No works shall be carried out in, on, under or over any part of the crossing or of the approach roads otherwise than by or on behalf of the Secretary of State unless the Secretary of State gives his written consent. (2) Consent under subsection (1) above may be granted subject to such reasonable terms and conditions (including conditions imposing a charge) as the Secretary of State may determine; and any question whether any such terms and conditions are reasonable shall be determined by arbitration. (3) Section 15 of the Pipe-lines Act 1962 shall not apply where this section applies. (4) Subsection (1) above shall not be taken to require the consent of the Secretary of State for the carrying out of works in relation to any highway or railway passing under or over any part of the crossing or of the approach roads.

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.
