Lazzaro Pietragnoli has resigned from Camden Council after running a secret Primrose Hill mum Twitter account, which Georgia Gould called "unacceptable".
“Whether that was making sure that the Starbucks didn t appear on Primrose Hill village to destroy the heart of the local cafes, or whether it was maintaining any of those local stores, the community centre, the childcare provision in the village. She really got people people to think locally.”
Born and raised in Kensington, Myra later lived in the USA, Australia and Israel, where she met her future husband. The family moved to Primrose Hill in 1978.
Opera, spending time with her grandchildren, and relaxing in the rose gardens of Regent’s Park were among Myra’s favourite hobbies – but she will always be remembered for her lasting impact on Camden’s libraries.

Plans for three luxury family homes in the Royal Free s old mental health building in Lyndhurst Gardens were approved on Thursday.
Planning committee chair Cllr Heather Johnson used her casting vote to approve the scheme after the committee was deadlocked at four votes in favour, four against, and two abstentions.
Developer Jaga Developments is to convert the listed building - formerly known as The Hoo - into two five-bedroom homes and one four-bedroom home.
After disputes over the value of the land at the site, the developer said it accepted it would pay a higher community infrastructure levy (CIL) fee as part of the plans. But it said this and other rising costs meant providing an up-front affordable housing contribution was not viable .
