UKIP to contest only one of three Doncaster seats at General Election

At the last General Election in 2015, UKIP polled more than 28,000 votes across Doncaster, finishing second in both Doncaster Central and Doncaster North and third in Don Valley.
Doncaster also had one of the highest leave votes in last year's EU Referendum, with 69% voting out.
The party lost its only seat on Doncaster Council at last week's council elections and the party's former offices in East Laith Gate, used during the 2015 election campaign, later re-opened as an advice centre for Polish people.
