Overhanging Shrubs and Trees
Are the trees or shrubs in your garden obstructing the footpath? If the branches of your overhanging trees are lower than 2.3m from the ground or your bushes and shrubs are spilling out and blocking the footpath, you are responsible for removing the obstruction. Some members of our community are finding it difficult to use the pavements when they walk around the villages, so think of the pushchair users and those with disabilities by keeping your vegetation within your own property.

Dog Fouling on the Village Green
Dog fouling on public footpaths and the Village Green causes many problems. It can get on your shoes and clothes, or in the worse cases it can lead to blindness due to an infection called 'Toxocara canis'. There are many considerate dog owners in the village, but there also seems to be a small number of inconsiderate people who fail to clean up after their dog.
The Rushcliffe Borough Dog Fouling Order was introduced in January 1998. An on the spot fine of £50, or a fine of up to £1,000 on prosecution applies if you allow your dog to foul in a public place and you fail to clean it up straight away. Always take a bag with you to clear up your dog’s mess. The council provides a number of dog bins for you to dispose of the bags. If you see someone committing a dog fouling offence or need to need to notify the Borough Council of dog fouling, call 0115 981 9911 or report dog fouling online. |
Dragon Street Stores at The Marquis
Are your cupboards short of fresh bread, eggs, fruit, and veg. Have you just finished that last drop of milk, beer, wine or spirits and other essentials? Then you should visit Dragon Street Stores, a new business set up at the rear of The Marquis. Contact Adam for more details and hours of business.

COVID-19 Cases in Rushcliffe
Granby and Sutton together with the remainder of England moved into National Lockdown Restrictions on 4 January 2021 until further notice. Sadly, a member of our community has died from the virus.
An interactive dashboard providing data on COVID-19 cases in Nottingham and Nottinghamshire is available for online access. The Nottingham City and Nottinghamshire County Daily COVID-19 Report summarises the information from the surveillance system which is used to monitor cases across the area. This will remain a reliable resource for anyone seeking data on the latest COVID-19 cases across the city and county, with the dashboard set to be updated by 12pm each day. |
Parish Council Precept
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 on tax payers in that parish as part of the Council Tax billing. A Council Tax payer's bill will typically include a Council Tax charge for the County Council, Police Authority, District or Borough Council and the Parish Council.
The Parish Council precept for Granby cum Sutton has remained unchanged for many years and residents will not face an increase for this portion of the Council Tax for the year 2021-2022. |
