Monk Soham Parish Council is an elected body with prime responsibility to reflect the local views of its parishioners and is the basic tier of local government.

It is also responsible to approve and monitor the annual village precept in line with the anticipated local needs. Other duties include opinions on local planning issues, highways & traffic safety, footpaths and policing policy. It is also represented on Eye School Trustees.
