Propose a change

The Cambridge Waste Water Treatment Plant Relocation Order 2025

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.

What to do with it
As published

23 Felling or lopping of trees and removal of hedgerows

(1) Save in respect of trees or shrubs which come within article 24 (trees subject to tree preservation orders), or article 25 (trees in conservation areas) the undertaker may fell or lop any tree or shrub near any part of the authorised development, or cut back its roots, if it reasonably believes it to be necessary to do so to prevent the tree or shrub from obstructing or interfering with the construction, operation, use or maintenance of the authorised development or any apparatus used in connection with the authorised development. (2) In carrying out any activity authorised by paragraph (1), the undertaker must do no unnecessary damage to any tree or shrub and must pay compensation to any person for any loss or damage arising from such activity. (3) Any dispute as to a person’s entitlement to compensation under paragraph (2), or as to the amount of compensation, is to be determined under Part 1 (determination of questions of disputed compensation) of the 1961 Act. (4) The undertaker may, for the purposes of the authorised development but subject to paragraph (2) above— (a) remove those parts of the hedgerows as were within the Order limits and specified in Part 1 of Schedule 16 (removal of hedgerows); and (b) remove those parts of the important hedgerows within the Order limits and specified in Part 2 of Schedule 16 (removal of important hedgerows). (5) In this article “hedgerow” and “important hedgerow” have the same meaning as in the Hedgerows Regulations 1997.

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.
