The leader of Nottinghamshire County Council says the removal of Tom Hollis as one of its members will depend on how severe his court sentence is next month. Hollis has been dismissed as the deputy leader of Ashfield District Council after he was convicted of harassing two former neighbours and careless driving.
But the 29-year-old said he would not be resigning as a councillor at both Ashfield District Council and Nottinghamshire County Council. The leader of the latter now says he feels "the same as everyone else does" about Tom Hollis but that a decision on his future will have to wait.
Sentencing on all of Tom Hollis' charges will take place on October 13. In the meantime, he still represents Huthwaite and Brierley on Ashfield District Council, and Sutton West on Nottinghamshire County Council.
