A Nottinghamshire councillor who was convicted in court last year has once again been named as a deputy leader of his authority. Tom Hollis was sacked as the deputy leader of Ashfield District Council last September following a court case which found him guilty of harassing his neighbours and careless driving.
But following local elections on May 4, which saw Councillor Hollis being re-elected, the first full meeting of Ashfield District Council has now been held and the leadership team for the next four years has been confirmed. The election saw the Ashfield Independents increasing their majority, winning 32 of the 35 seats available.
The party's leader, Jason Zadrozny, has therefore been returned as Ashfield District Council's leader. The meeting on Thursday (May 26) also confirmed that Councillor Hollis would once again be serving as a deputy leader.
