{0>The Strategic Planning Team Manager provided a brief update against priorities –<}0{>Darparodd Reolwr y Tîm Cynllunio Strategol ddiweddariad bras o’r cynnydd yn erbyn y blaenoriaethau:<0}

 

·         {0>Housing – progress was good although numbers on the SARTH waiting list had increased with work ongoing to understand the reasoning behind the increase and explore potential solutions to managing the waiting list.<}0{>Tai – mae’r cynnydd yn dda ond mae rhestr aros SARTH wedi cynyddu gyda gwaith yn mynd rhagddo i geisio deall pam ac i archwilio datrysiadau posibl ar gyfer rheoli’r rhestr aros.<0}

{0>The Council was largely on track to deliver the 1000 extra homes committed by March 2022 although there may be some slippage regarding council housing due to Covid<}0{>Ar y cyfan, mae’r Cyngor ar y trywydd cywir i ddarparu 1000 o dai erbyn mis Mawrth 2022, ond mae’n bosibl y bydd ychydig o lithriad o ran tai cyngor oherwydd Covid-19. <0}

·         {0>Connected Communities – this area was currently a priority for improvement largely due to road conditions and broadband infrastructure.<}0{>Cysylltu Cymunedau – mae’r maes hwn yn flaenoriaeth ar gyfer gwella, yn bennaf oherwydd cyflwr ffyrdd a isadeiledd band eang.<0}

{0>However projects were in place to address broadband infrastructure which were progressing well.<}0{>Fodd bynnag, mae prosiectau yn eu lle i fynd i’r afael ag isadeiledd band eang ac maen nhw’n mynd rhagddynt yn dda.<0} {0>The events infrastructure project would be delivered in the next financial year<}0{>Bydd prosiect isadeiledd digwyddiadau yn cael ei gyflawni yn ystod y flwyddyn ariannol nesaf.<0}

·         {0>Resilient Communities – a number of key projects had been completed and overall good progress was being made against this priority<}0{>Cymunedau Gwydn – mae nifer o brosiectau allweddol wedi’u cwblhau ac ar y cyfan mae cynnydd da wedi’i wneud yn erbyn y flaenoriaeth hon.<0}

·         {0>Environment – there had been a significant development in terms of adoption of a Climate and Ecological Change Strategy and good progress was being made.<}0{>Yr Amgylchedd – mae datblygiad sylweddol wedi bod o ran mabwysiadu Strategaeth ar Newid Hinsawdd a Newid Ecolegol ac mae cynnydd da wedi’i wneud.<0}

{0>Delivery against the timetable in terms of the energy efficiency of council homes remained challenging due to Covid restrictions although the work was still in the pipeline and there was a plan in place for its delivery<}0{>Mae’r ddarpariaeth yn erbyn yr amserlen o ran arbed ynni mewn cartrefi cyngor yn parhau i fod yn heriol oherwydd cyfyngiadau Covid-19, ond mae’r gwaith yn dal yn yr arfaeth ac mae cynllun yn ei le i’w ddarparu. <0}

·         {0>Young People – the impact of Covid had been significant and was still ongoing and therefore it was difficult to draw conclusions about the impact on children’s education and their potential attainment in the future.<}0{>Pobl Ifanc – mae effaith Covid-19 wedi bod yn un sylweddol ac mae’n parhaus, felly mae’n anodd dod i gasgliadau o ran yr effaith ar addysg plant a’u cyrhaeddiad posibl yn y dyfodol.

{0>The level of youth unemployment had also grown exponentially due to Covid and an area of concern however there were numerous interventions in place to address it.<}0{>Mae lefel y diweithdra ymhlith pobl ifanc hefyd wedi cynyddu oherwydd Covid-19 ac mae’n faes sy’n peri pryder. Fodd bynnag, mae nifer o ymyraethau yn eu lle i fynd i’r afael â hyn.

 

{0>The Lead Member explained the performance measuring definitions where there was comparable data with other local authorities.<}0{>Eglurodd yr Aelod Arweiniol bod modd cymharu’r diffiniadau mesur perfformiad â data awdurdodau lleol eraill. {0>Assurances were provided that whilst there were areas of priority for improvement it did not necessarily mean that performance levels were poor but that Denbighshire’s performance was below the median level in relation to the other local authorities in Wales.<}0{>Er bod lle i wella rhai meysydd blaenoriaeth rhoddwyd sicrwydd nad ydi hynny o reidrwydd yn golygu bod lefelau perfformiad yn wael ond bod perfformiad Sir Ddinbych yn is na’r canolrif o gymharu ag awdurdodau lleol eraill yng Nghymru.<0}

 

{0>The Strategic Planning and Performance Team Leader provided an overview of the new corporate health section of the report in order to satisfy the need to self-assess under the Local Government and Elections (Wales) Act 2021.<}0{>Darparodd Arweinydd Tîm Cynllunio Strategol a Pherfformiad drosolwg o’r adran iechyd corfforaethol newydd sydd yn yr adroddiad er mwyn bodloni’r gofynion i hunanasesu dan Ddeddf Llywodraeth Leol ac Etholiadau (Cymru) 2021.<0} {0>It focused on seven key governance areas and provided a wider picture about the context in which the Council was operating when delivering its performance objectives.<}0{>Mae’n canolbwyntio ar saith maes llywodraethu allweddol ac yn darparu darlun ehangach o’r cyd-destun y mae’r Cyngor yn gweithredu oddi yno wrth gyflawni ei amcanion perfformiad.<0} {0>It also sought to draw out any key actions to improve performance going forward.<}0{>Mae hefyd yn ceisio nodi camau allweddol i wella perfformiad i’r dyfodol. <0}

·         {0>elaborated on the situation of Denbighshire Leisure Limited (DLL) which had been set up as a stand-alone company on 1 April 2020 and subsequent impact of the pandemic on trade – practically all of the loss of income that otherwise had been anticipated coming into DLL had been claimed back from Welsh Government as part of their funding package<}0{>Ymhelaethwyd ar sefyllfa Hamdden Sir Ddinbych Cyf, a sefydlwyd fel cwmni ar ei ben ei hun ar 1 Ebrill 2020, ac effaith y pandemig ar fasnach – mae bron yr holl incwm a fyddai wedi’i dderbyn gan Hamdden Sir Ddinbych mewn blwyddyn arferol wedi’i hawlio’n ôl gan Lywodraeth Cymru fel rhan o’i phecyn ariannu.<0}
