English: Yes, and we provided the questionnaire online, through local newspapers, it was on the council's website and there were details published on local radio. We took it as broadly as possible. We wanted as many responses as possible. We had 2,470 responses, which is incredible. It's much, much more than anything else that the council has sought responses to. We don't get half as many responses to consultations on the council's budget on an annual basis, so it does show the scale of the interest in this particular memorial. There was an opportunity in the questionnaire for people to make further comments, and from the 2,470 responses, 2,357 had written additional responses, which, again, shows the level of interest. So, these are the main findings of the survey, and this report, by the way, is to be published tomorrow. I have been given permission to share the main statistics with you this morning, but unfortunately I can't share the recommendations with you - that wouldn't be fair, because council members haven't yet seen those recommendations. But I can share the main findings with you. Seventy-three per cent of respondents were from Carmarthenshire. Thirty per cent of respondents were from the town of Carmarthen itself, and 9 per cent came from the BAME community. So, that's encouraging. In terms of their responses, the question simply asked whether the county council needed to take steps, in response to the recent coverage that the memorial had had, to do something with the Sir Thomas Picton memorial. Now, we have split the responses according to age group, and consistently, across the three age groups, which is 16 to 24, 25 to 54 and 55 and higher, consistently it's two to one in favour of keeping the memorial more or less as it is - two to one don't want to see the memorial toppled. Interestingly, when we look at the responses of people from the BAME community, four to one wanted to see the memorial retained in its current form more or less. Now, within the individual comments, we've had many people on both sides of the argument saying, 'If you keep the monument, then something needs to be provided around it or on it that presents Sir Thomas Picton providing a holistic picture of all of his history', because what is commemorated is Thomas Picton the war hero. There is no mention of his time as the cruel governor of Trinidad. So, essentially, Chair, those are the main findings, and we have looked in detail at the responses and as you would expect, the majority in favour of keeping the obelisk - and we have done some word clouds around this in the report and, Chair, I would be happy to send you a copy of the report tomorrow, and I'm sure that will help you as a committee - but those in favour of retaining the memorial talked about him as a military hero, as part of our history, a hero of his time, they say that we shouldn't look at history through the prism and values of today. And those who were in favour of removing the monument referred to him as a slave owner, the fact that he had governed in a very cruel and callous manner in Trinidad, and that he had been involved with many atrocities against humanity. So, essentially, Chair, those are the main findings of the report.
Welsh: Do, ac fe wnaethon ni anfon yr holiadur ar-lein, trwy'r papurau newyddion lleol, oddi ar wefan y cyngor sir. Roedd manylion amdano fe yn cael eu cyhoeddi ar y radio lleol, mor eang ag oeddem ni'n gallu. Roeddem ni eisiau cymaint o bobl i ymateb â phosibl. Fe gawsom ni 2,470 o ymatebion, sydd yn anhygoel, a dweud y gwir. Mae hynny'n llawer, llawer uwch nag unrhyw beth arall mae'r cyngor sir wedi cael ymateb iddo. Dŷn ni ddim yn cael hanner gymaint â hynny yn yr ymatebion rŷn ni'n eu cael i ymgynghoriad gyllideb y cyngor sir bob blwyddyn. Felly, mae'n dangos maint y diddordeb yn y gofeb arbennig yma. Roedd yna gyfle yn yr holiadur i bobl ychwanegu sylwadau pellach, ac o'r 2,470, roedd 2,357 wedi ysgrifennu ymatebion ychwanegol, sydd eto yn dangos lefel y diddordeb. Felly, dyma beth ydy prif ganfyddiadau'r arolwg, ac mae'r adroddiad yma, gyda llaw, yn cael ei gyhoeddi yfory. Dwi wedi cael caniatâd i rannu'r prif ystadegau gyda chi y bore yma, ond dwi, yn anffodus, ddim yn gallu rhannu'r argymhellion gyda chi - fyddai hynny ddim yn deg, gan fod aelodau'r cyngor ddim wedi gweld yr argymhellion eto. Ond dwi'n gallu rhannu'r prif ganfyddiadau. Roedd 73 y cant o'r bobl a oedd wedi ymateb yn dod o sir Gaerfyrddin. Roedd 30 y cant o'r ymatebwyr yn dod o dref Caerfyrddin ei hunan, ac roedd 9 y cant yn dod o'r gymuned BAME. Felly, mae hynny'n galonogol. O ran sut maen nhw wedi ymateb, roedd y cwestiwn yn gofyn yn syml: a oes angen i'r cyngor sir gymryd camau, mewn ymateb i'r sylw diweddar roedd y gofeb wedi cael, i wneud rhywbeth gyda chofeb Syr Thomas Picton? Rŷn ni wedi rhannu'r ymatebion yn ôl grwpiau oedran, ac yn gyson ar draws y tri grŵp oedran, sef 16 i 24, 25 i 54 a 55 ac uwch, yn gyson mae dau i un o blaid cadw'r gofeb mwy neu lai fel y mae hi - dau yn erbyn un ddim eisiau tynnu'r gofeb lawr. Yn ddiddorol, pan rydym ni'n edrych ar ymatebion pobl BAME, roedd pedwar i un eisiau cadw'r gofeb fel y mae hi mwy neu lai. Nawr, o fewn y sylwadau unigol, rydym ni wedi cael llawr o bobl ar y ddwy ochr yn dweud, 'Os ydych chi'n cadw'r gofeb, mae angen rhoi rhywbeth o gwmpas y gofeb neu ar y gofeb sydd yn cyflwyno Syr Thomas Picton yn gyflawn, ei holl hanes e', achos beth sydd yn cael ei goffau ar y gofeb yw Thomas Picton yr arwr milwrol. Does yna ddim sôn am ei gyfnod e fel llywodraethwr creulon Trinidad. Felly, yn y bôn, Gadeirydd, dyna ydy'r prif ganfyddiadau, ac rydym ni wedi edrych yn fanwl ar yr ymatebion ac fel y byddech chi'n disgwyl, roedd y mwyafrif sydd o blaid cadw'r gofeb - ac rydym ni wedi gwneud rhyw fath o word clouds o gwmpas hyn yn yr adroddiad, a dwi'n hapus, Gadeirydd, i anfon copi o'r adroddiad atoch chi fory, a byddai hynny yn eich helpu chi, rwy'n siŵr, fel pwyllgor - ond roedd y rhai oedd o blaid cadw'r gofeb yn sôn amdano fe fel arwr milwrol, yn rhan o'n hanes ni, yn arwr yn ei gyfnod, ddylem ni ddim edrych ar hanes trwy brism a gwerthoedd heddiw. Ac roedd y rhai oedd o blaid tynnu'r gofeb i lawr, wrth gwrs, yn cyfeirio ato fe fel perchennog caethweision, y ffaith bod e wedi llywodraethu mewn ffordd greulon iawn yn Nhrinidad, a bod e wedi bod yn rhan o lawer iawn o erchyllterau yn erbyn y ddynoliaeth. Felly, yn y bôn, Gadeirydd, dyna ydy prif gasgliadau'r adroddiad.
