On 16 June I wrote to members to set out the current position in respect of the current programme of Electoral Arrangements Reviews. I also set out the process by which I intend to communicate my decisions about each area.


This included my commitment to provide regular updates to members through written statements.  This is the fifth of these updates.


On 11 August I wrote to the Leader and Chief Executive of the County Borough of Merthyr Tydfil to confirm my decision to accept the recommendations of the Local Democracy and Boundary Commission for Wales with modifications, in respect of the County Borough of Merthyr Tydfil.


The Local Democracy and Boundary Commission for Wales Final Recommendations Report for the County Borough of Merthyr Tydfil can be found here.  The modifications made to these recommendations are set out in the annex to this statement


In addition, I wrote to the Leader and Chief Executive of the County of Ceredigion to confirm the decision to accept the recommendations of the Local Democracy and Boundary Commission for Wales, with modifications, in respect of the County of Ceredigion.


The Local Democracy and Boundary Commission for Wales Final Recommendations Report for the County of Ceredigion can be found here. The modifications made to these recommendations are set out in the annex to this statement.  

  

Work will now be taken forward to implement these decisions by Order.


Further information will be provided once I have made decisions about other areas.  

  

This statement is being issued during recess in order to keep members informed. Should members wish me to make a further statement or to answer questions on this when the Senedd returns I would be happy to do so.

Ar 16 Mehefin, ysgrifennais at yr Aelodau i amlinellu sefyllfa bresennol y rhaglen o Adolygiadau Trefniadau Etholiadol sy’n mynd rhagddi. Nodais hefyd sut yr oeddwn yn bwriadu cyfathrebu fy mhenderfyniadau ynglŷn â phob ardal.


Roedd hyn yn cynnwys fy ymrwymiad i roi’r wybodaeth ddiweddaraf i’r Aelodau yn rheolaidd drwy ddatganiadau ysgrifenedig. Dyma’r pumed o’r diweddariadau hynny.


Ar 11 Awst, ysgrifennais at Arweinydd a Phrif Weithredwr Bwrdeistref Sirol Merthyr Tudful i gadarnhau fy mhenderfyniad i dderbyn argymhellion Comisiwn Ffiniau a Democratiaeth Leol Cymru gydag addasiadau, mewn perthynas â Bwrdeistref Sirol Merthyr Tudful.

Yn ogystal, ysgrifennais at Arweinydd a Phrif Weithredwr Sir Ceredigion i gadarnhau fy mhenderfyniad i dderbyn argymhellion Comisiwn Ffiniau a Democratiaeth Leol Cymru gydag addasiadau, mewn perthynas â Sir Ceredigion.

Bydd gwaith yn mynd rhagddo yn awr i roi’r penderfyniadau hyn ar waith drwy Orchymyn.


Bydd rhagor o wybodaeth yn cael ei darparu unwaith y byddaf wedi gwneud penderfyniadau ynglŷn ag ardaloedd eraill.


Caiff y datganiad hwn ei gyhoeddi yn ystod y toriad er mwyn rhoi'r wybodaeth ddiweddaraf i’r Aelodau. Os bydd yr Aelodau eisiau imi wneud datganiad pellach neu ateb cwestiynau ynglŷn â hyn pan fydd y Senedd yn dychwelyd, byddwn yn hapus i wneud hynny.
