And as the area gets set for a by-election on July 1 a sense of identity and fierce loyalty has emerged.
Coun John Lawson, leader of the Liberal Democrats on Kirklees Council and himself a councillor in Cleckheaton, spoke for many.
He said: “Where has Spen gone? This proposal expunges Spen from the political map completely!
“After a century or so of it being named in the constituency it looks like we’re expected to disappear quietly.
“I can tell you now that’s not going to happen. Spen is where we live and it’s part of our identity.
“To have our name scrubbed out like this is not acceptable.”
