Cllr Ergin Erbil was elected as the new Leader of Enfield Council at last night’s Full Council meeting (18 September).
Born and raised in Enfield, Cllr Erbil continues to live in the borough with his young family while working in the public sector.
Cllr Ergin Erbil said, “Serving my home, Enfield, is the greatest honour of my life. Enfield is a special place, with inclusive, close-knit and welcoming communities, busy high streets, beautiful green spaces and lots to do – we have a vibrant borough.
“We have an incredible opportunity ahead of us. We already know Enfield is a great place to live, work, and visit, but there is work to be done to make sure every single one of our neighbours can build a good life right here in the borough. I will work closely with local people, and our partners in the Government, Police, and the Greater London Authority to bring in investment and our fair share of resources.”
Cllr Erbil was elected Labour councillor for Edmonton Green in 2018 and has been serving as the Council’s Deputy Leader since 2022.
