Pino Soccio, the driver and inspiration behind the station, was delighted to welcome the mayor, George and senior leaders within Fenland and Cambridgeshire to Peel House.

The station will feature young people in front or behind the microphone, supported by a couple of older hands who will mentor and steer the ship in the right direction.

The youngest behind the microphone on Tuesday was Lily (7) who helped kick off the launch day with Emilee (10).
