It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Martin Suthers OBE after a short illness. Martin was the Deputy Leader of Nottinghamshire County Council, and the Conservative member for Bingham for 16 years. Martin was also the Rushcliffe Borough Councillor for Cranmer Ward. Martin had a long and distinguished career in service of his local community and will be missed by all his colleagues and friends at Rushcliffe Conservatives. Our thoughts are with his wife Pippa, and the family at this difficult time.
