Propose a change

The Central Bedfordshire Council (Woodside Link Houghton Regis) Development Consent Order 2014

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

9 Construction and maintenance of new, altered or diverted streets

(1) Subject to paragraph (2), the streets authorised to be constructed, altered or diverted under this Order are to be public highways, and unless otherwise agreed with the highway authority in whose area those streets lie must be maintained— (a) by and at the expense of the undertaker for a period of 12 months from their completion; and (b) at the expiry of that period, by and at the expense of the highway authority, provided that the works concerned have been completed to the reasonable satisfaction of the highway authority. (2) Where a street which is not and is not intended to be a public highway is constructed, altered or diverted under this Order, the street (or part of the street as the case may be), unless otherwise agreed with the street authority, must be maintained— (a) by and at the expense of the undertaker for a period of 12 months from its completion; and (b) at the expiry of that period by and at the expense of the street authority provided that the street has been completed to the reasonable satisfaction of the street authority. (3) In any action against the undertaker in respect of damage resulting from its failure to maintain a street to which paragraph (2) applies, section 58 (special defence in action against a highway authority for damages for non-repair of highway) of the 1980 Act applies as if that street were a highway maintainable at the public expense and the undertaker were the highway authority.

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.

How this law is officially changed

Solon does not know this law's official route yet. The proposal is recorded all the same, and the route appears here once its source is added.

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.

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.
