All councils in Wales are assessed against a series of measures, to gain a snapshot of how services are performing.
The council has one of the highest figures for top quartile performance in Wales and also has a lower number of poor performing indicators than any other Welsh council.
A key headline is that Denbighshire continues to be the best for recycling in the whole of Wales.
The council is also among the best in Wales for Special Educational Needs statementing, for adult protection referrals where the risk has been managed and for keeping in contact with former looked after children.
The council appears in the top quarter performing authorities for:
• the average lost working days/ shifts
• One of the lowest percentages for school leavers with no qualifications or looked after school leavers with no qualifications;
• Compliant food premises;
• Delivering disabled facility grants
• Vacant properties returned to occupation
• Lower levels of delayed transfers of care
• Care plan reviews completed in time
• Children seen by a social worker at initial assessment
• Waste sent to landfill.
Dr Mohammed Mehmet, Chief Executive of Denbighshire, said: “We are proud of these results and they continue to show that the Council performs well, even at times of significant change due to budgets and uncertainty around merger issues.
"That is down to the work of our staff and councillors working together with our partners to making sure that providing high quality services remains at the heart of what we do."
Leader of Denbighshire, Councillor Hugh Evans OBE, said: “We have made a firm commitment to improving the quality of life for residents by providing the best possible services in Denbighshire.
“These figures show we are very much on the right track. However, we always want to aim higher and we will not become complacent as we strive to improve our public services further."
