The Liberal Democrats have been voted the greenest of the three main political parties in an audit by Britain's environmental groups. The Liberal Democrats, regarded as the party with the most long-standing commitment to the environment, come out on top despite efforts by the two biggest parties to catch up. But today's report is bad news for David Cameron, who has made the environment a symbol of his attempt to change the image of the Conservative Party. Despite his efforts, the Tories are rated behind the two other parties. The report scored the parties on a traffic light system. Results: Liberal Democrat 3 Green, Labour 1 Green, Conservative 0 Green.
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.
