Bray has been deemed Clean to European Norms and came seventh in the latest Irish Business Against Litter league table.
The results of the survey were published on Monday. Previously, Bray came joint 19th in the league last October.
Bray was one of 37 towns around Ireland to be assessed. Judges said that there had been further improvement for Bray at a time when most towns have slipped. Eight out of the 10 sites in Bray surveyed got the top grade, and some deserved special mention, they said.
They were Main Street - consistently a top ranking site; Sidmonton Park; Bray Head and the car park at Strand Road. These sites were not just good with regard to litter, but overall presentation and maintenance were excellent, reads the report.
