Adolygiad Cyngor Tref a Chymuned: Dylai ymateb y Cyngor gynnwys y canlynol:

• Mae Cynghorau Tref yn cael eu 'bownsio' i mewn i gymryd cyfrifoldebau ychwanegol. Nid oes proses gynllunio briodol ac ni roddir digon o amser na rhybudd.
• Nid oedd yr adolygiadau ffin wedi eu trefnu o’r gwaelod i fyny ac dyna’r math o ad-drefnu sydd ei angen
• Mae'r adolygiad o ffiniau wardiau ar gyfer cynghorau sir a phwerau cynghorau cymuned yn digwydd mewn ffordd anniben. Mae ffiniau'r ward yn cael eu hadolygu mewn rhai mannau ar draws Ceredigion, gan gynnwys Aberystwyth a Llanbadarn Fawr, ar sail ffiniau'r cyngor cymuned sydd eu hunain, mae’n debyg, yn cael eu hadolygu mewn blwyddyn neu ddwy. Mae'r ffiniau hyn yn rhai mympwyol hanesyddol oherwydd nad ydynt wedi'u hadolygu ers amser hir, ac heb ystyriaeth o’r ffactorau daearyddol wrth sicrhau'r gynrychiolaeth ddemocrataidd mwyaf effeithiol ar gyfer y cymunedau hynny. Gofynnir i ni adolygu pwerau cynghorau cymuned heb wybod canlyniadau'r adolygiad o uno cynghorau sir neu'r pwerau a allai fod ganddynt yn dilyn yr adolygiad hwnnw. Yn fyr, mae angen cynnal yr holl adolygiadau hyn mewn modd cydlynol a heb ofyn cwestiynau arweiniol sy'n ymddangos i arwain cynghorau i gytuno â nhw yn hytrach na gwirfoddoli eu barn eu hunain.

O ganlyniad, teimlwn fod natur  rhanedig yr amrywiol adolygiadau hyn yn mynd i’n gadael gyda system o lywodraeth leol sydd ymhell o fod yn ddelfrydol ac a allai fod yn llai effeithiol a llai cynrychioliadol na'r system gyfredol. Mae angen ail-ddylunio pob un o'r adolygiadau hyn ar unwaith a chychwyn ar ymgynghoriad llawn sy'n gofyn am farn pobl yn hytrach na gofyn cwestiynau cyfyngedig o fewn fframwaith rhagofynedig.

Roedd y Clerc hefyd wedi codi'r materion canlynol yn y cyfarfod ymgynghori:

• Roedd Cynghorau Sir mewn sefyllfa dda i roi cyngor arbenigol i Gynghorau Tref a Chymuned ar feysydd fel cyfraith cyflogaeth a diogelu data ac ati. Byddai comisiynu gwasanaethau oddiwrth yr Awdurdod Lleol neu ddarparwr lleol arall yn cefnogi'r economi a swyddi lleol yn ogystal â chynnal galluedd yr Awdurdod Lleol.
• Mae’r Archwiliad Blynyddol yn llawdrwm a dylid ddangos mwy o ffydd yn yr archwiliad mewnol annibynnol gan fod gweithwyr proffesiynol yn atebol i'w cyrff rheoli.
• Roedd y berthynas rhwng y Cyngor Tref a Sir yn aml yn cael eu harwain gan bersonoliaethau yn hytrach na chael prosesau priodol.

Town and Community Council Review: The Council’s response should include the following:

• Town Councils are being ‘bounced’ into taking extra responsibilities. There is no proper planning process and insufficient time or warning is given.

• The boundary reviews were not ‘bottom-up’ and ‘bottom-up reorganisation is what is needed

• The review of both ward boundaries for county councils and the powers of community councils is happening in a haphazard way. The ward boundaries are being reviewed in some places across Ceredigion, including Aberystwyth and Llanbadarn Fawr, on the basis of community council boundaries that we understand will themselves be reviewed in a year or two from now. These boundaries are themselves historical and effectively arbitrary because they have not been reviewed for so long, and without consideration of geographical factors in ensuring the most effective democratic representation for those communities. We are being asked to review the powers of community councils without knowing the results of the review of likely mergers of county councils or the powers that they might have following that review. In short, all these reviews need to be carried out in a coordinated fashion and without asking leading questions that appear designed to make councils agree with them rather than volunteer their own opinions.

As a result, the partial and fractured nature of these various reviews is likely, we feel, to leave us with a system of local government that is far from ideal and which may risk being less effective and less representative than the current system. There is an immediate need to redesign all of these reviews and embark on a full consultation that asks people's views instead of asking limited questions within a predetermined framework.

The Clerk had also raised the following issues at the consultation meeting:

• County Councils were well placed to provide expert advice to Town and Community Councils on areas such as employment law and data protection etc. Commissioning services from the Local Authority or other local provider would support the local economy and jobs as well as maintain capacity within the Local Authority. 
• The Annual Audit was heavy handed and more trust should be placed on the independent internal audit as professionals are answerable to their management bodies.
• The relationships between Town and County Council were often personality led as opposed to having proper processes.
