- Source: 2017 Denbighshire County Council election
The 2017 Denbighshire County Council election took place in Denbighshire, Wales, on 4 May 2017 to elect members of Denbighshire Council. This was the same day as other 2017 United Kingdom local elections. The previous elections took place in 2012 and the next all-council elections took place in 2022.
Background
Though the Labour Party had ended up as the largest group, following the previous elections in 2012, they had chosen not to lead the council. The leading coalition of Conservatives, Plaid Cymru and Independents were faced with making big cost savings and there were battles over potential closure of rural schools, as well as a proposed merger between Denbighshire and Conwy county councils.
Contests took place in all except three of the 30 electoral wards.
