The Green Party has two district councillors in adjacent wards – Peter Christie (Bideford North) who is Deputy Chair and Peter Hames (Appledore) who is Chair of the Climate Emergency Committee.
They have a track record of bringing environmental concerns to the fore and Wendy's election would form a strong team of three.
Green Party policies offer a real alternative to those of the main parties and reflect the serious environmental problems facing us and the need for greater equality and social justice. They aim to create economic and ecological sustainability and a fairer, healthier society.
