The boar's head in the crest was retained, but is now mounted on a top of a mural crown, symbol of local government, but also suggesting a well head. The crown and the mantling continue the distinctive red and blue colouring from the arms.  The dexter supporter from the old arms has been replaced with a stag. The stag is derived from the arms of Denholme and Keighley, but represents the District as a whole. The sinister supporter is retained from the 1907 grant and is a white angora goat. The supporters in the new arms  stand upon a compartment resembling the area's hills and dales.
