In February 2010, the Local Government information Unit presented Camden Councillor Alexis Rowell the Sustainability Councillor of the Year Award.
Representing Belsize ward, Cllr Rowell has been dubbed the Eco-Councillor for setting up and chairing Camden Council’s Sustainability task force, establishing community environmental group Transition Belsize, running consultancy Cutting the Carbon, and playing a key role locally as a co-ordinator in the 10:10 campaign.
