Mae Comisiwn Ffiniau a Democratiaeth Leol Cymru yn adolygu’r trefniadau etholiadol ar gyfer y 22 prif gyngor, gan gynnwys nifer y cynghorwyr a’r wardiau ym mhob ardal cyngor.


Cafodd Dianne ei geni yn Cumbria a threuliodd ei phlentyndod yng ngogledd Lloegr. Ar ôl symud i Gaerdydd yn 1985, mae Dianne wedi treulio’r rhan fwyaf o’i bywyd yn byw yng Nghymru, mae’n briod i Gymro ac mae ganddi ddau o blant sydd bellach yn oedolion ac a fagwyd yng Nghymru.


Gweithiodd fel cyfreithiwr am 20 mlynedd ym maes llywodraeth leol, yn bennaf yn ne Cymru. Ar ôl deg mlynedd fel cyfarwyddwr yng Nghynghorau De Morgannwg a Chaerdydd, lle gweithiodd hefyd fel swyddog canlyniadau ar gyfer sawl etholiad ochr yn ochr â’i dyletswyddau fel uwch gyfreithiwr y Cyngor, cafodd ei phenodi’n Ddirprwy Glerc o’r hyn a elwid gynt Cynulliad Cenedlaethol Cymru, a daeth yn Brif Swyddog Gweithredu'r Cynulliad yn ddiweddarach. Yn y rôl hon gweithiodd gyda chynrychiolwyr etholedig o bob parti i gefnogi gwaith deddfwriaethol y Cynulliad a’i waith craffu ar Lywodraeth Cymru.


Ers ymddeol o weithio’n llawn amser yn 2012, mae Dianne wedi dangos ei diddordeb brwd mewn democratiaeth gynrychiadol a gwasanaethau lleol, drwy weithio gyda sefydliadau gan gynnwys Cynulliad Gogledd Iwerddon, The Hansard Society, Pwyllgor Anrhydeddau Pen\-blwydd y Frenhines a Chymdeithas Tai Taf. Fel Ymgynghorydd Cyswllt â Global Partners Governance, sy’n helpu i ddatblygu democratiaethau ledled y byd, roedd Dianne yn rhan o brosiect a ddarparodd gyngor a hyfforddiant i Senedd a Llywodraethwyr Gwlad yr Iorddonen.


Yn ei hamser hamdden mae’n mwynhau teithio, cerdded, rygbi (gan gefnogi Caerdydd a Chymru), garddio ar randir y teulu a helpu i ofalu am ei dau ŵyr.


Dywedodd y Gweinidog Cyllid a Llywodraeth Leol Rebecca Evans:



> “Rwy’n falch bod Dianne yn ymuno â’r Comisiwn ac rwy’n siŵr y bydd hi’n gwneud cyfraniad gwerthfawr i’w waith o gryfhau democratiaeth leol yng Nghymru.”


Mae’r penodiad hwn wedi’i wneud yn unol â’r Cod Llywodraethiant Penodiadau Cyhoeddus.

The Local Democracy and Boundary Commission for Wales keeps under review the electoral arrangements for the 22 principal councils, including the number of councillors and wards in each council area.


Dianne was born in Cumbria and she spent her childhood in the north of England. Moving to Cardiff in 1985, she has spent most of her life living in Wales, is married to a Welshman and has two grown up Welsh children.


She worked as a solicitor for 20 years in local government, mostly in South Wales. After ten years as a director with South Glamorgan and Cardiff Councils, where alongside her duties as the Council’s senior lawyer, she also acted as returning officer for many elections, she was appointed as the Deputy Clerk of the then National Assembly for Wales, later becoming the Assembly’s Chief Operating Officer. In this role she worked with elected representatives from all parties to support the Assembly’s legislative work and its scrutiny of the Welsh Government.


Since her retirement from full time employment in 2012, Dianne has demonstrated her keen interest in representative democracy and local services, working with organisations including the Northern Ireland Assembly, the Hansard Society, the UK Honours Committee and Taff Housing Association. As an Associate with Global Partners Governance, which helps to develop effective democracies across the world, Dianne was part of a project which provided advice and training for the Parliament and Governorates of Jordan.


Her spare time is divided between travel, walking, rugby (supporting Cardiff and Wales), the family allotment and helping to care for her two grandsons.


Finance and Local Government Minister Rebecca Evans said:



> “I am pleased Dianne is joining the Commission and I am sure she will make a valuable contribution to its work strengthening local democracy in Wales.”


This appointment has been made in accordance with the Governance Code for Public Appointments.


Dianne Bevan will be paid a daily fee of £198 per day with a time commitment of 1\-2 days per month.
