Public Sector Pensions

I recently asked MHDC to make representations to the Government, requesting that efforts be made to align the costs and benefits of public sector pensions with those of other taxpayers.
This was due to the increasing pressure of pension costs on council tax levels and the effect of the current economic position on private schemes.

We eventually got a response telling us how local government pensions work (which is hardly news ) and how Warwickshire County Council are running the scheme. It is a pity that the government minister doesn't appear to know that Malvern Hills is in Worcestershire.

Maybe Hazel Blears had other things on her mind.
