(2) The first case is where— (a) section 83 applies (no review being undertaken when petition or application received), but (b) the duty in section 83(2) does not apply because of section 83(3) (no duty to respond to petition or application because previous review concluded in relevant two-year period). (3) The second case is where— (a) section 84 applies (review being undertaken when petition or application received: petition area or application area wholly outside area under review), but (b) the duty in section 84(2) does not apply because of section 84(3) (no duty to respond to petition or application because previous review concluded in relevant two-year period). (4) The third case is where these conditions are met— (a) a principal council is in the course of undertaking a community governance review of part of the council's area; (b) the council receives a community governance petition or community governance application which relates to part of the council's area; (c) the petition area or application area is not wholly outside the area under review. (5) The fourth case is where these conditions are met— (a) a principal council is in the course of undertaking a community governance review of part of the council's area; (b) the council receives a community governance petition or community governance application which relates to the whole of the council's area. (6) The fifth case is where these conditions are met— (a) a principal council is in the course of undertaking a community governance review of the whole of the council's area; (b) the council receives a community governance petition or community governance application which relates to the whole or part of the council's area.

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.
