About

Soham South ward encompasses the southern half of the market town of Soham, a settlement with origins in the Anglo-Saxon period. The area is largely residential, featuring a mix of housing developments from different eras. It includes local amenities such as schools and retail outlets serving the community. The ward's landscape is characterised by the flat, open terrain typical of the Cambridgeshire Fens, with views extending towards agricultural land on its southern edges.

The geography is defined by the presence of the Soham Lode, a historic drainage channel connecting to the River Great Ouse system. This feature has been significant for land management and local industry. The ward contains St. Andrew's Church, a notable medieval building with a distinctive spire visible across the area. Residential streets are organised around several primary routes leading into the town centre, which lies just north of the ward boundary.
