Mae’r cynnydd yn y dirwyon yn cael ei gyflwyno cyn penwythnos gŵyl y banc ac mae’n dilyn cais gan bedwar heddlu Cymru a’r Comisiynwyr Heddlu a Throseddu i gynyddu’r cosbau i helpu i gymell pobl i beidio â thorri’r rheoliadau aros gartref, dro ar ôl tro.


Mae tystiolaeth gan y pedwar heddlu yn dangos bod lleiafrif bach o bobl yn torri’r rheoliadau a gyflwynwyd yn sgil y coronafeirws, yn enwedig drwy deithio i lecynnau hardd adnabyddus ledled Cymru, er eu bod wedi bod ynghau ers diwedd mis Mawrth.


Wrth gyhoeddi’r newidiadau i’r strwythur dirwyon, a ddaw i rym ddydd Gwener, dywedodd y Prif Weinidog Mark Drakeford:



> Rwy’n ddiolchgar iawn i’r prif gwnstabliaid a’n Comisiynwyr Heddlu a Throseddu am eu holl waith i gadw Cymru’n ddiogel drwy gydol y pandemig coronafeirws.
> 
> 
> “Mae’r heddlu’n dilyn pedwar cam wrth roi’r rheoliadau ar waith – maen nhw’n cyfathrebu â phobl, n egluro beth mae angen iddyn nhw ei wneud ac yn eu hannog i gydymffurfio. Ond pan nad yw pobl yn ymateb, maen nhw wedi defnyddio eu pwerau i orfodi’r rheoliadau.
> 
> 
> Dirwyon yw’r dewis olaf wrth orfodi’r rheoliadau hyn, rheoliadau sy’n ein cadw ni i gyd yn ddiogel.
> 
> 
> Mae’r dystiolaeth gan y prif gwnstabliaid a’r Comisiynwyr Heddlu a Throseddu yn dangos bod angen strwythur dirwyon cryfach arnon ni i rwystro’r lleiafrif bach hwnnw o bobl sy’n methu dro ar ôl tro â chadw at y rheolau.


Mae tystiolaeth gan y pedwar heddlu a’r Comisiynwyr Heddlu a Throseddu yn dangos bod dros 1,300 o hysbysiadau cosb benodedig wedi’u rhoi ers cyflwyno’r cyfyngiadau symud ddiwedd mis Mawrth.


Mae’r strwythur dirwyon presennol yn gosod dirwy o £60 am y drosedd gyntaf gan godi i £120 am yr ail drosedd a phob trosedd ddilynol. Yn y strwythur newydd, bydd y dirwyon yn dyblu am bob trosedd – gan godi o £60 i £120, ac yn y pen draw i £1,920 am y chweched drosedd.


Ychwanegodd y Prif Weinidog:



> Wrth i benwythnos gŵyl y banc ddynesu, rydym yn parhau i ofyn i bobl aros gartref i’w diogelu eu hunain a’u hanwyliaid rhag y coronafeirws. Os ydych chi’n ymarfer corff – cofiwch aros yn ddiogel ac aros yn lleol.
> 
> 
> Hoffwn ddiolch i bawb am eu cymorth cyson i leihau lledaeniad y coronafeirws yng Nghymru – drwy gadw at y rheolau, rydym ni i gyd yn helpu i ddiogelu ein gilydd a’n Gwasanaeth Iechyd, ac rydym ni yn achub bywydau.
> 
> 
> Bydd y newidiadau hyn yn anfon neges bendant i’r lleiafrif bach o bobl sy’n mynnu anwybyddu’r rheolau a thanseilio ymdrechion pawb arall sy’n gwneud y peth cywir.


Bydd rheoliadau newydd i gynyddu’r dirwyon yn cael eu gosod gerbron y Senedd ddydd Iau ac yn dod i rym ddydd Gwener.

Translation:


 
The increased fines are being introduced ahead of the bank holiday weekend and they follow a request from the four police forces in Wales and the Police and Crime Commissioners for increased penalties to help deter people from repeatedly breaching the stay\-at\-home regulations.


Evidence from the four police forces show a small minority of people are breaking the coronavirus regulations, particularly by travelling to well\-known beauty spots throughout Wales, even though they have been closed since the end of March.


Announcing the changes to the fines structure, which will come into force on Friday, First Minister, Mark Drakeford said:



> I am very grateful to the chief constables and our Police and Crime Commissioners for all the work they have done to keep Wales safe throughout the coronavirus pandemic.
> 
> 
> The police have adopted a ‘4Es’ approach to the regulations – they have engaged people, explained what they need to do and encouraged them to comply. But when people haven’t responded, they have used their powers to enforce the regulations.
> 
> 
> Fines are a last resort in the enforcement of the regulations which keep us all safe.
> 
> 
> The evidence from the chief constables and Police and Crime Commissioners shows we need a stronger fines structure to deter that small minority of people who persistently fail to keep to the rules.


Evidence from the four police forces and Police and Crime Commissioners shows more than 1,300 fixed penalty notices have been issued since the lockdown restrictions were introduced at the end of March.


The existing fines structure, which imposed a £60 fine for a first offence rising to £120 for a second and subsequent offences, will be replaced by a new structure in which the fines double for every offence – rising from £60 to £120 to £1,920 for the sixth offence.


The First Minister added:



> As we approach the bank holiday weekend, we continue to ask people to stay at home to protect themselves and their loved ones from coronavirus. If they are exercising – please stay safe and stay local.
> 
> 
> I want to thank everyone for their continuing support in reducing the spread of coronavirus in Wales – by sticking to the rules, we are all helping to protect each other and our NHS and we are saving lives.
> 
> 
> These changes will send a strong signal to the small minority of people who are blatantly ignoring the rules and undermining the efforts of everybody else who are doing the right thing.


New regulations to increase the fines will be laid in the Senedd on Thursday and will come into force on Friday.
