Tributes have been paid to activist and former councillor Leila Roy, who died on Friday.
A hugely popular figure in the community, Ms Roy served as a Conservative councillor in Camden s Belsize ward from 2014-18.
She was an outspoken critic of the council s Labour leadership over its handling of the Chalcots Estate evacuation, and narrowly missed out on re-election in 2018.
Cllr Oliver Cooper, current leader of the Conservative group, tweeted on Saturday (February 27): Leila threw herself into everything she did. Helping Belsize and Chalcots residents. Supporting democracy in Africa. Raising the most brilliant and caring son. Ensuring thousands received remote lessons last summer.
