About Granby Cum Sutton Parish
The village of Granby and the hamlet of Sutton go back to the times of the Doomsday Book and beyond with the place-name Granby seeming to comprise an Old Norse personal name, Gráni preceding the Old Norse word bȳ this being a farmstead or village
Together Granby and Sutton are the primary population centres in the civil administrative area of Granby Cum Sutton which is still referred to as "Parish" whose inhabitants are represented by 7 councillors (who must also be inhabitants) as elected by the other inhabitants every 4 years. Together these councillors form The Parish Council for Granby Cum Sutton - the boundaries of which are shown on this map.
Present day Granby Cum Sutton Parish has a population of around 450 person living in approximately 150 households

Permission Granted for Meadow, Allotments and Orchard
The 'hybrid' planning application jointly submitted by the landowner and the Parish Council (reference 24/01451/HYBRID) was rejected by the borough's planner's approval and so, through, the interjection and efforts of our ward Councillor, Chris Grocock, it was put before RBC's Full Planning Committee on 10th JULY 2025
Having heard the cases put forward by Chris Grocock, Richard Cooper (for the developer) and Trevor Fewell (for the Parish Council) the Committee voted unanimously over-rule the planners by GRANTING PLANNING PERMISSION.
An incredible result ! but "the hard work starts now"

Because we are no longer receiving funding from Nottinghamshire County Council, we would ask for a donation (we suggest £2 per person). Should you wish to volunteer to help please contact any of your Parish Councillors or e-mail Lois Hamson
The Winter Newsletter
A big thanks once again to Councillor Mark Tubbs for all of his hard work in producing the Winter edition of the Granby & Sutton Newsletter.
Village Hall Roof Repairs - Call for Expressions of Interest
With fund raising doing brilliantly, and a professional assessment of the state of the Hall having been undertaken, it is hoped that discussions can start in the Spring as to who, how and when the works can be done. The Parish Council are very keen that the works be undertaken by one or more of the many skilled people we have in the community. So, if you (or anyone you know) wish to express interested in learning more and ultimately quoting, please get in contact with any of the Councillors or drop a quick mail to Councillor Dick Kuca
Raise the Roof - Saving our Village Hall
Our much treasured Village Hall was built in 1871 as the village school but is now showing significant signs of its age. This, the hub of our community, is in urgent need of fundamental repairs which can wait no longer. So, through the Parish Council, the 'Raise the Roof' campaign has been launched to raise the funds that we so urgently need to find.
We now have a dedicated page for the Raise the Roof Campaign which you can visit HERE
Parish Council Precept 2026-2027
Parish Councils raise money from their parishioners via the Council Tax process. They do this by 'precepting' on the principal council (Rushcliffe Borough Council) who levy the precept on householders as part of their Council Tax bill. The Precept for most houses accounts for under 2.8% of each household's Council Tax bill - so a tiny fraction.
Over several meetings Cllrs have reviewed expenditure & income forecasts for the coming year and debated at length the level of Precept needed to start 'balancing the books'.. Ultimately a majority decision was made by the Councillors to increase the Precept this year by 14.9% to generate an income of £17,095 for the 2026-27 financial year. The size of, and need for this increase was dictated by a two significant factors, namely; (a) the need to go a little way to restoring the Parish finances after the repair of the collapsed ceiling in the small meeting room, and (b) start making provision for the upcoming repair programme for the village hall roof.
