Councillors Demand Browne Resign | Leicester News

Councillors at Melton Borough Council are demanding leader Ronan Browne step down over a toxic Facebook group he allegedly legitimized through his presence — despite not posting abusive content himself. The group, active until 2025, featured misogynistic, racist, and ableist posts targeting councillors, staff, and the public, with one councillor revealing her son’s injury was mocked. Browne claims he monitored the page to gather evidence of abuse he personally endured, including mockery of his race, religion, and accent, and says he won’t resign now — instead calling for the letter-writers to quit. The council remains silent on the fallout.
