Elected Members Introductory Leaflet

The Local Government Pension Scheme (LGPS) provides pension benefits for councillors and mayors (referred to as ‘elected members’) in England who are under age 75.

You are eligible to join if you receive an allowance or salary from a district council, county council, unitary council, combined authority, combined county authority, London borough council, fire and rescue authority or the Council of the Isles of Scilly. Members of the London Assembly, the Court of Common Council of the City of London and the Mayor of London can also join the Scheme, with the agreement of their authority.
