Skipton coat of arms
You might want to look again at your upload onto commons as in the smaller views it has a dirty line across the middle which doesn't show at full resolution. The other thing is that the image you've uploaded might not be copyright free - see this. If you created the image yourself that's fine but if you downloaded this from Skipton's website then it probably isn't.  I'd suggest you ask for clarification from an expert at WP:MCQ and if the answer is that it is copyright, you go to the file on Commons and ask for it to be deleted using. I say this because if you admit a genuine mistake and deal with it yourself, you're likely to be forgiven. Otherwise you might find yourself subject to sanctions or banning as a copyright pirate.

 * Update. The file has been tagged for deletion from Commons as a copyright violation. NtheP (talk) 16:07, 17 February 2011 (UTC)

I don't understand how it can be copyright violation when I work for the Council who have asked me to put it on.
 * It's presumed to be a copyvio because there is nothing that contradicts that belief i.e no evidence that the copyright holder, the council, have granted permission for the image to be used. Have you got an email from the council allowing it's use (not just on Wikiepdia)?  As long as it's unlimited then go to the file on Commons and add  to the image.  You then need to send the email granting permission to wikimedia.  For fuller information please read Commons:OTRS.  You still need to sort out the dirty line across the middle of the image.
