Yesterday, (Ycat-List News, 5 July 2012) circulated several media releases, including one from Kelvin Thomson MP, accompaigned by generalsised notes asking PMs to state their position clearly on the proposed East West Toll Road and/or Tunnel and Doncaster Rail.

Ycat also apologises for any mis-understanding that has arisen from this news item and hereby prints a  correction/retraction acknowledging that Kelvin Thomson MP fully supports the community in their fight for the Doncaster Rail and public Transport Infrastructure.
