Dora Boatemah, Chair of the Tenants' Association on Angell Town Estate in Brixton, London, was awarded an MBE in 1994 for services to the community. She died in 2001. One significant success during her tenure was the defeat of government plans to hand control of the estate to a Housing Action Trust (HAT), against the wishes of the majority of residents, and Lambeth council, which owned it.
