Eligibility
If you are a Councillor or elected Mayor and are under the age of 75, you can opt to join the Local Government Pension Scheme (LGPS) so long as your Local Authority’s scheme of members allowance specifies that you are able to do so.
You can join the LGPS even if you have a private or stakeholder pension elsewhere.
