The Council has drawn up a Vision for the Welsh Language: 

• Denbighshire is a predominantly bilingual county with a rich culture and heritage. We are proud of this and want this pride to be reflected in our day to day interaction with communities, residents and with our staff.
• We are committed to ensuring that the principles of the Welsh Language Standards underpin the way we deliver services to the public; we want people to be able to access services through the language of their choice naturally, at all stages of their lives.
• We want to enhance the bilingual culture and ethos of the organisation, providing training and social opportunities for our staff to work in Welsh and increase their confidence in using the language in the workplace.
• We want to work with partners and the wider communities to ensure that Welsh is a thriving language in Denbighshire.
• We have an ambition to be sector leaders in the development of the Welsh Language in Wales.
