Cytunwyd ar y pecyn cymorth statudol ym mis Mehefin 2019 ar ôl cais gan yr Arweinydd ar y pryd, ac mewn ymateb i bryderon a fynegwyd gan Archwilio Cymru. Roedd yn cynnwys Bwrdd Gwella a Sicrwydd, penodi cynghorwyr allanol tymor byr ar gyfer meysydd penodol, a chymorth a hyfforddiant i aelodau a swyddogion. Diben y cymorth oedd sicrhau y gallai’r Cyngor ddarparu gwasanaethau o safon i bobl Merthyr Tudful, a chryfhau gallu’r Cyngor ei hun i wella a thrawsnewid.
The statutory support package was agreed in June 2019 following a request from the Leader at the time, and in response to concerns raised by Audit Wales. It included an Improvement and Assurance Board, the appointment of short term external advisers for specific areas, and training for members and officers. The purpose of the support was to ensure the Council could provide good quality services to the people of Merthyr Tydfil, and to bolster the Council’s own ability to improve and transform.
