Mae’n hanfodol bwysig bod sefydliadau democratiaeth leol yn parhau i weithredu yn ystod y cyfnod hwn a bod aelodau etholedig a phobl leol yn cael y cyfle i graffu ar benderfyniadau awdurdodau lleol a’u herio. Gan ganiatáu amser i aelodau a swyddogion ymgyfarwyddo â chyfarpar a gweithdrefnau newydd, rwy’n falch o weld bod llawer o awdurdodau lleol ledled Cymru wedi dechrau cwrdd unwaith eto.
It is vitally important that the institutions of local democracy continue to function during this period and elected members and local people have the opportunity to scrutinise and challenge decisions taken by local authorities. Allowing time for members and officers to become acquainted with new equipment and new procedures, I am pleased to see that many local authorities all over Wales have started meeting again.
