The civil parish of Sonning lies within the Borough of Wokingham. Responsibilities are split between the two councils, with the Parish Council looking after local interests. The chairman of the Parish Council is Mark Green. Steve Chapman is the Borough Councillor for Sonning.

A separate section is devoted to information about the village, including an interactive Google™ map, links to external sources of information about Sonning and the surrounding area and community events that the Council arrange or support.
