Cllr Peter Christie
Peter Christie teaches at North Devon College and has been a long time
lecturer for the Open University. He runs ‘Discovery’ in
Grenville Street and has twice been Mayor being, on his first spell,
the youngest ever Mayor of Bideford. A long serving member of the Bridge
Trust he was proud to have been elected its chairman last year. He is
also a trustee of the Appledore Maritime Museum and the North Devon Athenaeum.
Best known for his weekly column in the Journal on Bideford Life he has
also published 10 books on Bideford and the area. He has an unrivalled
knowledge of the history of Bideford and has worked hard to defend that
heritage against unsuitable developments. His motions to both town and
district council still, unusually, attract wide cross party support – and,
as always, he undertakes to work with any group who have Bideford’s
real interests at heart.

I work from home as a self-employed website developer. I also work for the Association of Green Councillors, promoting the best ideas of several hundred Green Councillors throughout England. I am a founder member of North Devon’s Green Business Forum, now serving as its membership officer.
After returning from University in Southampton, I did voluntary work teaching climbing at a local secondary school, and helped win a Lottery grant to fund a climbing wall for the local club.
I enjoy walking, nature photography, allotment gardening, playing guitar, reading and watching films. I have had experience speaking at council planning meetings and recently represented the Green Party at a Public Inquiry on a proposed local wind farm.
I believe local Government has a vital part to play in tackling Climate Change, and helping local people to reduce their own Carbon emissions – for example by providing free insulation. We need action now.
The Green Party are fielding over 1,400 local candidates all across England in this May's local elections. We currently have 93 councillors at District level or above, and expect to gain many more seats this year.
