Middle Level Commissioners Employees get on their bikes!

The Middle Level Commissioners now offer employees the chance to enter into a Cycle to Work scheme. This government led scheme encourages healthy living, reducing the effective cost of buying a bike whilst also saving carbon release by encouraging employees out of their cars and onto their bikes (estimated at carbon saving 500kg per year per person).
