getGeometry {twfy}

Return geometry information for a constituency

Description

From TheyWorkForYou: "This currently includes, for Great Britain, the latitude and longitude of the centre point of the bounding box of the constituency, its area in square meters, the bounding box itself and the number of parts in the polygon that makes up the constituency. For Northern Ireland, as we don't have any better data, it only returns an approximate (estimated by eye) latitude and longitude for the constituency's centroid."
