WORKERS at a plastics plant have been given the opportunity to adopt healthier lifestyles.

PVC manufacturer Hydro Polymers, in Newton Aycliffe, staged a Health for Life event, part of a twelve-week campaign where staff are given a health check and advice on diet, exercise and mental well-being.

Site director Dr Bill Wood said: "We are committed to helping our people to develop and grow, and this includes doing everything we can to improve the health of our workforce."
