I went to school in Spenborough, which is no more - it was the local council area for Cleckheaton, Gomersal and Liversedge. I suppose they dropped the 'borough' because Spenborough became part of Kirklees in the 1974 reorganisation.
'Spen' is no more a place than Raith of Rovers fame. I look forward to the BBC reporting that the Conservatives (or Labour supporters) "will be dancing in the streets of Spen tonight".
As constituencies are geographic, I think they should stick to place names.
As you were.
