Inquiry set to back council plans for 6000 houses on green fields
The public inquiry that began on Tuesday into Chelmsford council's plans for new houses is set to rubber-stamp the plans, despite the enormous voice of opposition from the voters of Broomfield who massively rejected the plans in Tuesday's by-election. That is the view of parliamentary candidate Stephen Robinson who attended the first two days of the inquiry. He has written up the discussions on his blog: http://snipurl.com/eip_day1 and http://snipurl.com/eip_day2

Tour of Britain comes to Wolverhampton
Stage 3 of the 2007 Tour of Britain ended in Wolverhampton after 95 grueling miles on 12th September. The stage began just outside Worcester passed through the spa town of Malvern over the Malvern Hills through Worcestershire to the Severn Valley at Bewdley. From there the route was through the picturesque Wyre Forest before the riders rode alongside the Severn Valley railway into Bridgnorth. The riders followed the Severn valley upstream to Broseley and then past some of the key sites of the industrial revolution including Blists Hill and the Tar Tunnel. At the end of the valley came the final climb of the day at Coalport bank, a steep and twisty affair approached via narrow roads. Then it was on to Wolverhampton and the stage ended on the City's ring road, appropriately at the site where Sunbeam bicycles were first made in 1888.
