I've listed this article for peer review because I am attempting to get Featured Article status, Good Article at least. I need a bit of leading on how best to improve it further. I am aware it needs more work, but it would be great to know what else needs to be improved.

Well, it strikes me as being far away from being a good or featured article at the moment. I sense there's quite a bit missing:
- We're told what the police made of the bill, but what about the political parties? I'd like to know what the Tory and Lib Dem positions were.
- We're given the position of a prostitution support group on the relevant area; what about alcohol retailers' response to the bits of the bill affecting them?
- A number of the references point to the Act (eg refs 22 to 25), is it not possible to make these links to the material online?
- Doesn't seem to be much about the aviation aspects of the bill.

These are the things that strike me at the moment. Good luck with improving the article as I do think these articles are important and help democracy. --bodnotbod (talk) 13:47, 22 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you very much for having a look at it, you've certainly given me a lot to add to my To Do list! With regards to your point about the references, when it is references to the legislation, is it required to link to the legislation, seeing as there are links to the legislation already in the article. The only thing I think would be beneficial would be the date the legislation was viewed, what with amendments very likely to be added in the future. Calvin (talk) 19:13, 22 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
