Rwyf wedi gofyn i fy swyddogion fynd ati ar unwaith i weithio gyda’n partneriaid yn Un Llais Cymru, y Gymdeithas ar gyfer Clercod Cynghorau Lleol a Chymdeithas Llywodraeth Leol Cymru i ddatblygu cynigion creadigol ar gyfer pecyn cymorth i roi hwb i'r seilwaith llywodraethu ar draws y sector. Prif nodau’r gwaith hwn fydd rhoi hwb tymor byr i hyfforddiant a chymorth i glercod a chynghorwyr, a datblygu dull hunanwella cynaliadwy ar gyfer cynghorau ar y cyd â’n phartneriaid. Ein nod yw magu hyder yn nhrefniadau llywodraethu cynghorau a gosod sylfaen gadarn ar gyfer y dyfodol.
I have asked my officials to immediately begin work with partners in One Voice Wales, The Society for Local Council Clerks and the WLGA to develop creative proposals for a support package to boost the governance infrastructure across the sector. The priorities for this work will be a short term boost in training and support for clerks and councillors, and development of a sustainable, self-improvement approach for councils which we will co-develop with partners. Our goal is to significantly lift the confidence in council governance arrangements and lay a strong foundation for the future.
