Er fod rhagor o waith i’w wneud, fe’m calonogwyd gan yr ymateb a gefais gan y Rheoleiddwyr, a oedd yn gydnaws â’r farn a fynegwyd gan Dîm Craidd y Bwrdd Gwella a Sicrwydd a’r Cyngor ei hun. Roeddwn yn croesawu’r gydnabyddiaeth gan bawb o’r cynnydd sydd wedi’i wneud gan y Cyngor ers sefydlu’r pecyn cymorth statudol yn 2019. Golyga hyn, ar y cyd â’i sefyllfa ariannol well a threfniadau llywodraethu a rheoli perfformiad cryfach, fod y sefydliad bellach mewn sefyllfa well o lawer i ysgogi ei welliant ei hun. Fel Llywodraeth Cymru, rydym wedi bod yn falch o gefnogi’r gwaith hwn drwy’r setliadau cyllid rydym wedi gweithio’n galed i’w darparu i lywodraeth leol dros y blynyddoedd diwethaf.
While there is more work to do, I have been encouraged by the response I received from Regulators, which aligned with the views expressed by the Improvement and Assurance Board’s Core Team and the Council itself. I welcomed the recognition by all of the progress made by the Council since the statutory support package was established in 2019. This, combined with their strengthened financial position and stronger governance and performance management arrangements, means the organisation is now much better placed to drive its own improvement. As a Welsh Government we have been pleased to support this work through the funding settlements we have worked hard to provide local government over the last few years.
