Both parishes are run by councils. At present, development in Granby is controlled by the ''Granby cum Sutton Village Plan'' adopted by Rushcliffe Council.〔(Retrieved 6 November 2010. )〕 There is no longer a school in Granby. The old school building now serves as the village hall. Most children attend Orston Primary School, or Toot Hill School in the nearby market town of Bingham.
