A former Labour councillor who left the civic centre in disgrace six years ago has returned to take up a new role on the executive committee of Edmonton and Winchmore Hill Constituency Labour Party (CLP), the Dispatch has learned.
Following two felony convictions (which are now both spent) for fraud related to his use of a fictitious taxi badge in 2014 and for a public order “road rage” offense in 2016, Nesimi Erbil was suspended from the Labour Party for five years.
After continuing to represent Lower Edmonton for a few years as an independent councillor, Erbil subsequently stood down prior to the 2018 local election in Enfield. Several of his family members, including deputy council leader Ergin Erbil and cabinet member for licensing Susan Erbil, were elected to the civic centre for the first time that year.
