Willenhall is set to have its very own community flag and budding artists and those with a
sense of civic pride are being encouraged to submit designs.
The flag will be officially registered with the Flag Institute, as community website Willenhall
Ay We.co.uk and locally based shopping giant Poundland have teamed up to launch a public
competition.
After seeing the recent patriotic display of the Black Country flag in readiness for Black
Country Day on July 14th
Willenhall Ay We.co.uk were inspired to fly the flag for the town.
Poundland jumped at the chance to sponsor the competition and pay for the manufacture
of the winning design, whilst the registration of the design itself with the Flag Institute is
free.
A town flag will serve as a symbol for the community to rally around, raise awareness and
visibility of Willenhall further afield as well as promoting one of the many community
heritages that form the patchwork of national identity.
