The board members work with the Council in its role as an administering authority and with the pension fund's officers to ensure that your pension scheme is being run properly and that you as a member get the best service.

To comply with requirements imposed by regulations which are enforced by the Pensions Regulator, the members of the local pension board are required to maintain their knowledge and understanding of the LGPS and pensions in general, so receive appropriate training.

The board must have an equal number of employer representatives and scheme member representatives. In addition we have also appointed an independent expert to oversee the smooth running of the board.

Scheme member and employer representatives are appointed to the board for a term of 4 years.

The members of the board as at 01 April 2019 are as follows.
