WPPD explained

The Workforce, Pay and Pensions Division (formerly the Local Government and Firefighters' Pension Scheme Division) works to provide a secure, modernised statutory pension scheme for firefighters and local government employees in England and Wales.

These web pages contain information for those administering the Local Government Pension Scheme but will also be of interest to members of the public and others who want details of the scheme or about other topical issues relating to retirement and pensions in general. In 2008, the Division took on responsibility for local government pay and workforce issues, including equal pay issues. Information about the Firefighters' Pension Scheme and related issues can be accessed via the links shown in the About Us section.

There is also a section of the Communities and Local Government's web site which contains papers relating to the scheme arrangements announced. See www.communities.gov.uk/lgps.

If you are still unable to find what you are looking for or have any observations about the web site, please e-mail us at lgpensions@communities.gsi.gov.uk.
