A Nottinghamshire councillor says he "makes mistakes like everybody" after being re-elected in local elections less than a year on from his court conviction. Voting took place across Ashfield and the wider country on Thursday (May 4) for people to choose their local representatives.
The Ashfield District Council election saw the Ashfield Independents increasing their number of councillors to 32, leaving opposition parties with just three members between them. One of the successful Ashfield Independent candidates was Tom Hollis.
Tom Hollis, who served as the lead member for council and social housing on Ashfield District Council before the election, appeared in court last September and was found guilty of harassing his neighbours. He was also found guilty of careless driving in his Range Rover after a night out at the bingo.
