The boss of the Greater Manchester branch of the 'police union' has stepped down just a year into the job in a row about police pensions.
Lee Broadbent was elected chairman of the Greater Manchester branch of the Police Federation, the association which represents rank-and-file cops, in December 2021.
Some 14 months into the job, Constable Broadbent has announced his resignation from the role amid disagreement with other Police Federation leaders about the challenge he led on the police pensions, which he believed discriminated against female officers.
