Yn fy Natganiad Ysgrifenedig ar y pwnc hwn ym mis Gorffennaf 2022, cyfeiriais at ddau fater allweddol. Y cyntaf oedd sicrhau bod gan bobl ddewis gwirioneddol o ran pwy sy’n eu cynrychioli a’u gwasanaethu. Roedd yr ail yn ymwneud â sicrhau bod pobl yn teimlo bod cymryd rhan ar y lefel hon o ddemocratiaeth yn ffordd o gyflawni newid, ac felly eu bod yn dymuno sefyll i gael eu hethol. Cadarnhaodd canlyniadau diweddaraf yr etholiad fod angen rhoi sylw brys i’r materion hyn. Hoffwn roi’r wybodaeth ddiweddaraf i aelodau am y cynnydd.
In my Written Statement on this topic in July 2022, I referred to two key issues. The first was ensuring that people have a genuine choice as to who represents and serves them. The second was about ensuring that people feel being part of this level of democracy is a way of effecting change, and therefore want to put themselves forward for election. The updated election results confirmed that these issues require urgent attention. I want to update members of progress.
