Arms : Or between two Bars vallary as many Barrulets dancetty of three points interlaced Sable. |

The gold and black of the shield represent industry, the fretwork forms the letters W and M and the barrulets symbolize strength - all charges from the West Midlands County Council arms. The bars and crown vallary represent protection and security and the phoenix crest is identical to the Council's supporters.
