Levelling-up and Regeneration Act 2023

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

191 Designated high streets and town centres

(1) A local authority may designate a street in its area as a high street for the purposes of this Part if it considers that the street is important to the local economy because of a concentration of high-street uses of premises on the street. (2) A local authority may designate an area within its area as a town centre for the purposes of this Part if— (a) the built environment of the area is characterised principally by a network of streets, and (b) the authority considers that the area is important to the local economy because of a concentration of high-street uses of premises in the area. (3) A street or area is not to be designated, however, if the authority considers that its importance derives principally from goods or services purchased in the course of business. (4) A designation under this section may be varied or withdrawn at any time. (5) A local authority must maintain and make available to the public a list describing, and a map showing, any designations under this section that are in force in its area. (6) A designation under this section is a local land charge. (7) In this Part— “designated high street” means a street for the time being designated under subsection (1); “designated town centre” means an area for the time being designated under subsection (2).

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.
