Mae’n bleser gennyf ddatgan i lywodraeth leol a Llywodraeth Cymru, trwy Gyngor Partneriaeth Cymru, lofnodi cytundeb pwysig heddiw [5 Rhagfyr 2011] sy’n nodi ein hymrwymiad ar y cyd i raglen ddiwygio.  Ei nod yw darparu gwasanaethau gwell a chosteffeithiol ledled Cymru, ac mae’n adlewyrchu’r ymrwymiad parhaus i atebolrwydd democrataidd lleol.
I am pleased to record that today [on the 5th December 2011] Local Government and the Welsh Government through the Partnership Council for Wales signed an important agreement setting out our joint commitment to a programme of reform aimed at delivering improved and cost effective services across Wales.  It reflects the ongoing commitment to local democratic accountability.
