Councillor members

In March 2014, the government brought in legislation which meant that existing councillor members of the LGPS in England ceased to be a member of the scheme at the end of the term of office which they were serving on 1 April 2014, or age 75, whichever was the earlier.

The Government also decided to exclude membership of new councillors in the new LGPS, which came into effect on 1 April 2014.
