Anthony (Tony) Dykes is a former English Labour Party politician and Anti-Apartheid activist.
As leader of Camden Council, Dykes replaced the more leftwing Phil Turner.
Initially the more leftwing Kate Allen was elected as leader but London Region of the Labour Party intervened due to procedural discrepancies.
Dykes used the office as leader to campaign against nuclear power,[2] challenge over-staffing at the council[3] and reduce the number of people eligible for council housing.
[5] Dykes was heavily involved in the Anti-Apartheid Movement and, in August 1993, was appointed Head of Southern Africa at Christian Aid, until being appointed as Director of Action for Southern Africa from 2007 to 2018.
