Radio Story One: Broadband Tsar to be employed during budget cuts

Here is the script for my first radio story:

Bosses at Hampshire County Council are planning to hire a "broadband tsar" after the application to improve the high-speed broadband system in the county was accepted. 

The new project leader will earn an estimated £100,000 a year to improve high-speed Internet access to areas across the county. This comes in the midsts of the council planning to axe 1,200 jobs in a bid to save £55 million from the budget.  

The director of economic development, Alison Quant said "At a time of significant budget reductions it could be seen as less of a pressing priority.

The scheme is due to begin later this year.
