VILLAGERS in Sutton Scotney have been urged to back a campaign for faster broadband in the area.

Wonston Parish Council is concerned few locals have responded to a county council initiative to improve Internet speed in rural areas.

The county council is due to appoint a contractor this February or March with work to begin this summer.

The £10m scheme is jointly funded by Government, county council and district councils.
