English: I'd absolutely like to join Jane Dodds in recognising the important role of town and community councillors in serving and shaping their local communities, and I've had some really good meetings with One Voice Wales to understand what the sector believes that its potential is. And I know that we have town and community councils of all shapes and sizes and of all kinds of experience and levels of ambition, and I think that it's important that we look to those town and community councils that are making really, really impactful choices within their communities and to explore how we can use One Voice Wales and others to help other town and community councils to look to that level of ambition. I think that we've got some amazing case studies that we can look to right across Wales. But, again, being a town and community councillor is another way you can make an incredible contribution to your community. Again, you're very accessible, so this is one of the things that we need to ensure, that people don't feel that that fact that you're usually well known in your community is something that should necessarily be a barrier. Because another one of those things that was mentioned in the article to which Sam Rowlands referred was the sense that councillors and town and community councillors feel that they need to be on duty 24/7, they need to drop everything at 10 o'clock on a Friday night to go and deal with the immediate issue that they've been telephoned about. So, that kind of support for a work-life balance for those councillors, particularly at town and community level, I think is really important as well.
Welsh: Hoffwn ymuno â Jane Dodds i gydnabod rôl bwysig cynghorwyr tref a chymuned yn gwasanaethu a llunio eu cymunedau lleol, ac rwyf wedi cael rhai cyfarfodydd da iawn gydag Un Llais Cymru i ddeall beth y mae'r sector yn credu yw ei botensial. A gwn fod gennym gynghorau tref a chymuned o bob lliw a llun a phob math o brofiad a lefel o uchelgais, a chredaf ei bod yn bwysig ein bod yn rhoi sylw i'r cynghorau tref a chymuned hynny sy'n gwneud dewisiadau gwirioneddol effeithiol yn eu cymunedau ac archwilio sut y gallwn ddefnyddio Un Llais Cymru ac eraill i helpu cynghorau tref a chymuned eraill i ystyried y lefel honno o uchelgais. Credaf fod gennym astudiaethau achos anhygoel y gallwn edrych arnynt ledled Cymru. Ond unwaith eto, mae bod yn gynghorydd tref a chymuned yn ffordd arall y gallwch wneud cyfraniad anhygoel i'ch cymuned. Unwaith eto, rydych yn hygyrch iawn, felly dyma un o'r pethau y mae angen inni eu sicrhau, nad yw pobl yn teimlo bod y ffaith eich bod fel arfer yn adnabyddus yn eich cymuned yn rhywbeth a ddylai fod yn rhwystr o reidrwydd. Oherwydd un arall o'r pethau a grybwyllwyd yn yr erthygl y cyfeiriodd Sam Rowlands ati oedd yr ymdeimlad fod cynghorwyr a chynghorwyr tref a chymuned yn teimlo bod angen iddynt fod ar ddyletswydd 24/7, fod angen iddynt roi'r gorau i bopeth am 10 o'r gloch nos Wener i fynd i ymdrin â'r mater uniongyrchol y cawsant alwad ffôn yn ei gylch. Felly, credaf fod y math hwnnw o gymorth ar gyfer cydbwysedd bywyd a gwaith i'r cynghorwyr hynny, yn enwedig ar lefel tref a chymuned, yn wirioneddol bwysig hefyd.
