This is how many people in Doncaster have signed petition calling for Brexit to be cancelled

The number of people who have signed calling for Article 50 to be revoked and for Britain to stay in the EU has been broken down by parliamentary constituency – with nearly 9,000 people across Doncaster calling for Brexit to be axed.

According to the livefrombrexit.com website, the town’s biggest number of signatures on the petition – which now stands at 5.4 million – comes from the Doncaster Central constituency where 3,472 had signed by noon today. 

That’s 4.8% of the electorate, or 3.2 of the population – placing it 570th in a ‘league table’ of the biggest signers of the petition out of 650 UK constituencies.

Don Valley was next – with 3,041  signatures, followed by Doncaster North with 2,423  people adding their names.

In total, 8,936 people from Doncaster have signed the Article 50 petition. However, all three Doncaster constituencies are towards the bottom of the table, reflecting the 69% of people in the town who voted to leave at the 2016 referendum.
