O ystyried effaith ymyrraeth Weinidogol yn ddiweddar, bydd Aelodau’n ymwybodol o’r problemau a fu’n fwrn ar Gyngor Sir Ynys Môn am flynyddoedd lawer. Yn y bôn, roeddent yn ymwneud ag ymddygiad gwan Aelodau a diffyg cyfeiriad strategol, ac  effaith hynny ar ddarpariaeth gwasanaethau i bobl yr ynys. Roedd y sefyllfa o fewn y Cyngor yn hynod ddifrifol, ac yn galw am gamau grymus a chyson i atal y Cyngor rhag cyrraedd y pwynt di-droi’n-ôl.
In considering the impact of recent Ministerial intervention, Members will all be aware of the problems which plagued Anglesey County Council for a number of years.  Fundamentally, they related to poor Member behaviour and a lack of strategic direction, and the impact this had on the delivery of services to the people of the island.  The situation within the Council was extremely serious, and demanded vigorous and sustained action to prevent the Council from reaching the point of no return.
