Wrth bennu lefelau’r dreth gyngor ar gyfer 2015-16, Hoffwn annog yr Awdurdodau Lleol i feddwl o ddifrif am yr heriau ariannu sy’n eu hwynebu, ac i roi’r un ystyriaeth i’r baich ariannol ar aelwydydd.  Rydym yn cynnig cryn hyblygrwydd i Awdurdodau yng Nghymru nad yw ar gael i’w Hawdurdodau cyfatebol yn Lloegr, lle mae mesurau rhewi cyllid ar waith.
In setting council tax levels for 2015-16, I urge Local Authorities to think seriously about the funding challenges they face, and to balance this with a consideration of the financial burden on households.  We offer considerable flexibility to Authorities in Wales which is not available to their counterparts in England, where restrictive freezes apply.
