Ar ddiwedd mis Hydref y llynedd, cadarnheais fy mwriad i roi pecyn cymorth statudol pwrpasol arall i'r Cyngor. Cytunais, ar y cyd â'r Cyngor, i sefydlu Bwrdd Gwella a Sicrwydd (y Bwrdd). Dan gadeiryddiaeth Steve Thomas, byddai’r bwrdd yn helpu'r Arweinydd, y Cynghorydd Kevin O’Neill, i fwrw ymlaen â'r newidiadau a'r gwelliannau oedd eu hangen yn y Cyngor. Cytunais hefyd y byddwn yn darparu cymorth tymor byr wedi'i dargedu ar gyfer llywodraethu, materion corfforaethol a gwasanaethau.
At the end of October last year I confirmed my intention to provide the Council with a further focused package of statutory support. As part of this, I agreed, in conjunction with the Council, to establish an Improvement and Assurance Board (the Board) chaired by Steve Thomas to assist the Leader, Councillor Kevin O’Neill, in driving forward the required change and improvement in the Council. I also agreed that I would provide short term and targeted governance, corporate and service support.
