Responding to the announcement from Steve Reed MP that councillors will be able to join the Local Government Pension Scheme (LGPS), something the LGA has long been calling for, an LGA spokesperson said:

"Councillors work very hard to represent their communities, sacrificing working hours and family time to carry out their role.

"Fair remuneration, including pension provision, is vital so that people from all walks of life feel able to stand for public office.

"Reinstating councillors' access to the Local Government Pension Scheme is an essential step in recognising their dedication and service to their communities."
