LGPS Question

Hi,
I have two LGPS’s with different local authorities, one deferred (ex employer) and one I’m still paying into (current employer).
I am 48 and planning to retire at 60, so my question is - can I take one LGPS pension early at 60 (with actuarial reduction) and keep the other one deferred until normal pension age? Or will I have to take both at the same time?
TIA

    You can take one and leave the other deferred until a later date.

    Does your deferred record have any R85 protections?  If you give me your start and end dates (just the years will do) it will be clearer.
