Resolved-

The Pensions Acts of 1995 and 2011 imposed significant changes on hundreds of thousands of women with little or no personal notification. This resulted in some women only having two years notice of a six year increase to their state pension age.

The Government should change the transitional arrangements so that they take account of:

• The unfair burden place on women born after 6th April 1951 

• The lack of time to make alternative plans

This Council resolves to:

• Ask the Government to reconsider transitional arrangements for women born on or after 6th April 1951

• Ask each of the District's five MPs to make their views known on this matter to the relevant minister

ACTION:       Chief Executive
