In March 2012 I issued a new direction to the Local Government Boundary Commission for Wales instructing them to review the electoral arrangements of the Isle of Anglesey.


In accordance with the direction the Commission have completed their review and published their final proposals.


The Commission propose a reduction in council size from 40 to 30 elected members and a change to the pattern of electoral divisions being represented by a single member to one of multi\-member divisions. The existing electoral arrangements return 40 members representing 40 electoral divisions, the Commission’s proposals would return 30 members representing 11 electoral divisions.


The proposed changes to the electoral arrangements will see an improvement in electoral parity across the region. The proposed councillor to elector ratio is 1:1,649, this is in keeping with the direction which suggested a councillor to elector ratio of 1:1,750\.


The Welsh Government received 28 representations to the final report. I have carefully considered them in the process of making my decision.


On 27th June 2012 Anglesey Council resolved by a majority to accept the Commission’s proposals as outlined in the report. 


I am minded to accept the Commission’s proposals and I have agreed for an Order to be drafted to implement the changes.


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 Assembly returns I would be happy to do so.

Ym mis Mawrth 2012 fe roddais gyfarwyddyd newydd i’r Comisiwn Ffiniau Llywodraeth Leol i Gymru iddynt adolygu’r trefniadau etholiadol ar Ynys Môn.

Yn unol â’r cyfarwyddyd mae’r Comisiwn wedi cwblhau ei adolygiad ac wedi cyhoeddi ei gynigion terfynol.

Mae’r Comisiwn yn cynnig y dylid gostwng nifer y cynghorwyr o 40 i 30 a newid patrwm yr adrannau etholiadol, sy’n cael eu cynrychioli gan aelodau unigol ar hyn o bryd, i adrannau aml\-aelod. O dan y trefniadau etholiadol cyfredol caiff 40 o aelodau eu hethol i gynrychioli 40 o adrannau etholiadol, ond o dan gynigion y Comisiwn byddai 30 o aelodau yn cynrychioli 11 o adrannau etholiadol.

Bydd y newidiadau a gynigir i’r trefniadau etholiadol yn golygu mwy o gysondeb etholiadol ar draws y rhanbarth. Y gymhareb o gynghorwyr i etholwyr a gynigir yw 1:1,649, sy’n gyson â’r cyfarwyddyd a oedd yn awgrymu cymhareb o gynghorwyr i etholwyr o 1:1,750\.

Derbyniodd Llywodraeth Cymru 28 o sylwadau ar yr adroddiad terfynol. Rwyf wedi ystyried y rhain yn ofalus cyn gwneud fy mhenderfyniad.

Ar 27 Mehefin 2012 fe benderfynodd mwyafrif ar Gyngor Ynys Môn dderbyn cynigion y Comisiwn fel y’u hamlinellir yn yr adroddiad. 

Rwyf o’r farn y dylid derbyn cynigion y Comisiwn ac rwyf wedi cytuno y caiff Gorchymyn ei ddrafftio er mwyn rhoi’r newidiadau ar waith.

Caiff y datganiad ei gyhoeddi yn ystod y toriad er mwyn rhoi'r wybodaeth ddiweddaraf i aelodau. Os bydd aelodau eisiau i mi wneud datganiad pellach neu ateb cwestiynau ynglŷn â hyn pan fydd y Cynulliad yn dychwelyd, byddwn yn hapus i wneud hynny.
