2008 Denbighshire County Council election

[1] This was the same day as other 2008 United Kingdom local elections.

Six months before the election, the Independent council leader, Rhiannon Hughes, and her entire cabinet had been voted out of their positions, following the release of a critical schools report.

The Conservatives became the largest group on the council after taking new seats, largely from Independent councillors.

[1] Peter Owen was previously elected as an Independent, in 2004.
