Local Pension Board

Role of the Local Pension Board

The Cornwall Local Pension Board (LPB) has been established in accordance with recent changes in the Local Government Pension Scheme Regulations. 

The board will oversee, assist and support the management and governance of the Fund and plays a key advisory role assisting the Pension Fund Committee in managing the Pension Fund, ensuring that they are compliant with LGPS and other relevant regulations.

The Pension Board does not carry out a delegated decision making function on behalf of the Administering Authority. Instead the Pension Board will carry out an oversight function.
