Mae cynghorau cymuned a thref yn rhan annatod o lywodraeth leol; maent yn atebol yn ddemocrataidd ac yn gweithio ar y lefel fwyaf lleol i wella eu cymunedau. Nid yw eu cyfraniad erioed wedi bod yn fwy amlwg nag y bu yn ystod yr ymateb i’r pandemig COVID-19. Wrth i’r pandemig ddechrau, daeth y cynghorau cymuned yn rhan o’r ymateb rheng flaen yn eu cymunedau, ac maent wedi cefnogi’r rheini mewn grwpiau agored i niwed, er enghraifft drwy ddarparu cymorth amhrisiadwy i helpu cleifion i gael gafael ar nwyddau neu gyffuriau o’u fferyllfeydd. Ar ran pawb a gafodd eu cynorthwyo ganddynt, hoffwn ddiolch yn ffurfiol i’r cynghorau a’r gwirfoddolwyr am eu holl gefnogaeth.
Community and town councils are an integral part of local government; democratically accountable and working at the most local level to improve their communities. Never has this been more visible as during the response to the covid-19 pandemic. As the pandemic began, community councils were on the front lines in their communities, particularly for those in vulnerable groups, and were invaluable for access to pharmacy deliveries, for instance. On behalf of all those who received help, I would like to note formally my thanks to the councils and volunteers for their support.
