Together with the following Unitary Authorities:

In terms of classification within the ODP, Telford & Wrekin is considered part of Shropshire, Stoke-on-Trent is considered part of Staffordshire, and Hereforshire is considered to be a county in its own right. The remaining seven authorities form the West Midlands Metropolitan Area, which is given ceremonial county status.

Very few sites will qualify for a listing in this category. If your site pertains to a particular county, borough, town or village then please follow the links down to the most specific geographic area you can find. Your site should be submitted under that category - either directly under it, or in the most appropriate topical sub-category thereof.

If your site relates to the whole (or a significant part) of the West Midlands Region, or your organisation has locations in multiple counties, then please find the most appropriate topical sub-category under ''West Midlands'' for your site, and submit it there.

Submitting inappropriate sites to this category will only delay their listing.
