Disgraced councillor Tom Hollis will continue serving as a member of Ashfield District Council despite being sentenced in court for careless driving and harassment offences. Hollis, 29, of Yew Tree Drive, Huthwaite, was found guilty of harassing his neighbours and, months later, careless driving in his Range Rover after a night out at the bingo.
Following back-to-back trials in September, Hollis was dismissed as the Deputy Leader of Ashfield District Council, but pledged that he would not resign as a councillor at the authority for the Huthwaite and Brierley ward. He is also a councillor for the Sutton West area at Nottinghamshire County Council.
At Nottingham Magistrates' Court on Thursday (October 13), Hollis was given a 12-month community order and ordered to carry out 200 hours of unpaid community work. He must also pay his victims £500 each in compensation, as well as a £95 victim surcharge and costs of £1,000.
