Origin/meaning
The arms were officially granted in 1974.
The two wavy blue bars represent the River Ribble which forms the northern boundary of the Borough. The cog wheel represents the world-wide reputation of the district in transport engineering, and is flanked by the two bottony-style crosses, which can also be found in the arms of the Charnock family of Leyland and Penwortham. The oak spray signifies not only the presence of a vast oak forest in medieval times but also the Council's concern to improve the environment.
The pheonix issuing from flames signifies the birth of the new authority in 1974. The red roses reflect the County Palatine of Lancashire and the cinquefoils are from the arms of the old Farington family of Worden and Farington.
The lions are traditional symbols of vigour.
