A controversial car rally has been given the green light to race through the Shropshire.

A controversial car rally has been given the green light to race through the Shropshire countryside, despite objections from residents living nearby. People living in villages around the Stiperstones said they were worried about the impact The Hills Ford Stages Rally would have on the environment. Paul Woodford, a local rally driver and motorsport presenter, said many fears about the sport were misplaced. Cheltenham Motor Club, which is organising the race, said they would comply with all legal and environmental requirements.
