The Dean Moor Solar Farm Order 2026
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.

(1) The undertaker may, for the purposes of, or in connection with, the construction, operation, maintenance and decommissioning of the authorised development temporarily close, alter, divert or restrict the use of the streets set out in column (1) of Schedule 6 (streets to be temporarily closed or restricted) to the extent specified, by reference to the letters and numbers shown on the traffic regulation measure plan, in column (2) of that Schedule. (2) Without prejudice to the specific powers in paragraph (1) and subject to paragraph (5) the undertaker, during and for the purposes of carrying out the authorised development, may temporarily close, alter, divert, prohibit the use of, authorise the use of, or restrict the use of any street and may for any reasonable time— (a) divert the traffic or a class of traffic from the street; and (b) subject to paragraph (4), prevent all persons from passing along the street. (3) The undertaker may use any street temporarily closed, altered, diverted, prohibited or restricted under the powers conferred by this article within the Order limits as a temporary working site. (4) The undertaker must provide reasonable access for pedestrians going to or from premises abutting a street affected by the temporary closure, alteration, diversion or restriction of a street under this article if there would otherwise be no such access. (5) The undertaker must not temporarily close, alter, divert, prohibit the use of, authorise the use of, restrict the use of or use as a temporary working site— (a) any street referred to in paragraph (1) without first consulting the street authority; and (b) any other street without the consent of the street authority, which may attach reasonable conditions to the consent. Such consent not to be unreasonably withheld.

(8) If a street authority which receives a valid application for consent under paragraph (5)(b) fails to notify the undertaker of its decision before the end of the period of 28 days beginning with the date on which the application was made, it is deemed to have granted consent. (9) For deemed consent under paragraph (8) to apply to any application for consent under paragraph (5)(b), the application must include a statement that the provisions of paragraph (8) apply to that application. (10) If an application for consent under paragraph (5)(b) does not include the statement required under paragraph (9), then the provisions of paragraph (8) will not apply to that application.

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.
