A MAN has been given unpaid work hours as punishment after admitting to assaulting a woman and kicking a door towards her in Kilwinning.

Robert Whiteman pleaded guilty to one charge at a recent pre-trial hearing at Kilmarnock Sheriff Court. 

The 42-year-old was charged with assaulting a woman alongside another woman, and kicking a door towards her on May 31, 2023, at Sundrum Place in Kilwinning.

Whiteman, of Hunter Drive in Irvine, also appeared for a review of a separate community payback order, which Sheriff Laura Mundell said was "going well".

She added: "You are making progress on it but still have some way to go. Today's review will be your last."

For the assault offence, Whiteman was sentenced to 90 hours of unpaid work, to be completed within six months.
