Raise the Roof - Saving our Village HallOur 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. Roof elements such as the barge boards, soffits and membrane must be replaced – and soon ! However, the cost will be considerable - currently estimated to be nearly £30,000 of which our community will need to find at least 50% So, through the Parish Council, the 'Raise the Roof' campaign has been launched to raise the funds that we so urgently need to find.
'Raise the Roof' is planning a whole series of activities and events aimed at bringing our very special community together whilst also raising funds. The first Raise the Roof event will be the Granby & Sutton Summer Party - read more below and on our events page. It is hoped that this fabulous community event will be followed by a wide variety of others through the rest of this year and beyond. |
Parish Council Precept 2024-2025Parish 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.
Over several meetings Cllrs have reviewed expenditure & income forecasts for the coming year. Reserve funds will need to be used to meet increasing running costs and, most critically, towards the undertaking of major restoration and repair works on the village hall . Having considered very long and hard, the Cllrs decided upon an increase of 11.5%, which will result in a Band D level of £72.86 with the precept total being £13,514.
