A Nottinghamshire councillor who was convicted in court for careless driving and harassment offences has confirmed he will be standing again in May's elections. Tom Hollis, who currently serves as the lead member for council and social housing on Ashfield District Council, 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. Mr Hollis serves as a member of the Ashfield Independents, who currently control the council, on behalf of the Huthwaite and Brierley ward.
Following his conviction last year, Mr Hollis said he needed a "period of time to reflect" on whether he would stand again in this year's elections. But in the statement of people nominated to stand, Tom Hollis appears once again as a candidate for Huthwaite and Brierley on behalf of the Ashfield Independents.
