The Local Pension Board assists West Northamptonshire Council in managing the Northamptonshire Local Government Pension Scheme (LGPS). It helps ensure the scheme is governed and administered effectively and efficiently, in line with relevant regulations and legislation, including requirements from the Pensions Regulator.
The Board's responsibilities include assisting the council in securing compliance with the Local Government Pension Scheme Regulations 2013 and other laws related to LGPS governance and administration. It is independent of the Pension Committee and operates under specific statutory provisions, not the council's general delegation powers.
