Rwyf eisiau sicrhau bod pob cyfnod cyn uno mor llyfn, adeiladol a chynhyrchiol â phosibl. Gall y rhanddeiliaid perthnasol ddefnyddio’r cyfnodau hyn yn dda i wneud paratoadau cynhwysfawr ar gyfer trosglwyddo i’r prif awdurdodau lleol newydd a’u sefydlu. I’r perwyl hwn, hoffwn annog ymddygiad cadarnhaol ac amddiffyn arian cyhoeddus rhag amryw ymddygiadau negyddol posibl a allai amharu ar y broses uno.
I want to ensure that the periods in the run-up to all mergers are as smooth, constructive and productive as possible. The time during these periods can be put to very good use by the relevant stakeholders, to make comprehensive preparations for the transition to, and establishment of, the new Principal Local Authorities. As such, I want both to encourage positive behaviour and protect the public purse against various potential negative behaviours which might disrupt the merger process.
