Ebost: [email protected]

rhwng oriau 10yb a 3yp o ddydd Llun i ddydd Gwener
gan ddechrau 06 Gorffennaf 2026
ac yn gorffen ar 31 Gorffennaf 2026

3. O 14 Medi 2026, hyd nes y bydd yr archwiliad wedi'i gwblhau, mae gan Etholwyr Llywodraeth Leol a'u cynrychiolwyr hefyd:
• yr hawl i holi'r Archwilydd Cyffredinol am y cyfrifon.
• yr hawl i fynychu gerbron yr Archwilydd Cyffredinol a gwneud gwrthwynebiadau i'r cyfrifon neu unrhyw eitem ynddynt. Rhaid rhoi hysbysiad ysgrifenedig o wrthwynebiad i'r Archwilydd Cyffredinol yn gyntaf. Rhaid rhoi copi o'r hysbysiad ysgrifenedig i'r cyngor hefyd.
Gellir cysylltu â'r Archwilydd Cyffredinol drwy: Archwiliadau Cynghorau Cymuned, Archwilio Cymru, 1 Capital Quarter, Stryd Tyndall, Caerdydd, CF10 4BZ neu drwy e-bost yn [email protected].
Mae'r archwiliad yn cael ei gynnal o dan ddarpariaethau Deddf Archwilio Cyhoeddus (Cymru) 2004, Rheoliadau Cyfrifon ac Archwilio (Cymru) 2014 a Chod Ymarfer Archwilio Archwilydd Cyffredinol Cymru.

Hawliau etholwyr o dan Ddeddf Archwilio Cyhoeddus (Cymru) 2004
Yn ôl y gyfraith, gall unrhyw un archwilio cyfrifon y cyngor. Os ydych wedi cofrestru i bleidleisio mewn etholiadau cynghorau lleol, mae gennych chi (neu rywun sy'n gweithredu ar eich rhan) yr hawl hefyd i ofyn cwestiynau i'r Archwilydd Cyffredinol am y cyfrifon ac i godi gwrthwynebiadau ffurfiol.
Arolygu'r cyfrifon
Unwaith y bydd y cyngor wedi cwblhau ei gyfrifon, rhaid iddo hysbysebu eu bod ar gael i'w harchwilio. Ar ôl rhoi rhybudd rhesymol, gallwch archwilio'r cyfrifon a'r dogfennau ategol am 20 diwrnod gweithio. Gellir gofyn am gopïau, er y gallai fod tâl copïo am hyn.
Gofyn cwestiynau i'r archwilydd
Dim ond am y cyfrifon sy'n destun archwiliad y gellir gofyn cwestiynau. Nid oes rhaid i'r Archwilydd Cyffredinol ateb cwestiynau am bolisïau, penderfyniadau neu weithdrefnau'r cyngor oni bai eu bod yn ymwneud yn uniongyrchol â'r cyfrifon, ac nid oes rhaid iddo ddweud a yw rhywbeth yn gyfreithlon neu'n rhesymol.
Gwrthwynebu'r cyfrifon
Os ydych chi'n credu bod y cyngor wedi gwario a***n yn anghyfreithlon, neu fod rhywun wedi achosi colled a***nnol yn fwriadol neu drwy ymddygiad anghyfrifol, gallwch wrthwynebu. Rhaid gwneud gwrthwynebiadau yn ysgrifenedig i'r Archwilydd Cyffredinol, egluro'r rhesymau'n glir, a rhaid anfon copi at y cyngor hefyd. Bydd yr Archwilydd Cyffredinol yn penderfynu pa gamau, os o gwbl, i'w cymryd. Mewn rhai achosion, efallai y byddwch yn apelio i'r llysoedd. Gallwch hefyd wrthwynebu os ydych chi'n credu bod problem yn y cyfrifon y dylid ei adrodd yn gyhoeddus er budd y cyhoedd. Ni ellir defnyddio'r broses hon i wneud cwynion neu hawliadau personol.
Ffyrdd eraill o godi pryderon
Yn hytrach na gwneud gwrthwynebiad ffurfiol, gallwch ddarparu gwybodaeth i'r Archwilydd Cyffredinol os ydych chi'n credu bod gwallau yn y cyfrifon neu bryderon am wastraff neu aneffeithlonrwydd. Nid oes unrhyw weithdrefnau na dyddiadau cau penodol ar gyfer gwneud hyn.
Gwybodaeth bwysig
Mae'r gost o ddelio â chwestiynau a gwrthwynebiadau yn cael ei dalu gan drethdalwyr lleol. Dim ond materion sydd er budd y cyhoedd y bydd yr Archwilydd Cyffredinol yn ymchwilio. Os byddwch yn mynd â mater i'r llys, efallai y bydd yn rhaid i chi dalu eich costau eich hun.

Notice of appointment of the date for the exercise of electors’ rights

CWARTER BACH COMMUNITY COUNCIL

Financial year ending 31 March 2026

Date of announcement 10th June 2026
Each year the annual accounts are audited by the Auditor General for Wales. Prior to this date, any interested person has the opportunity to inspect and make copies of the accounts and all books, deeds, contracts, bills, vouchers and receipts etc relating to them for 20 working days on reasonable notice. For the year ended 31 March 2026, these documents will be available on reasonable notice on application to:

The Clerk

c/o The Post Office

The Black Mountain Centre

Brynaman

SA18 1Bu

Email: [email protected]

Phone: 07872621253

between the hours of 10am and 3pm on Monday to Friday

commencing on 06 July 2026

and ending on 31 July 2026

From 14 September 2026, until the audit has been completed, Local Government Electors and their representatives also have:
the right to question the Auditor General about the accounts.
the right to attend before the Auditor General and make objections to the accounts or any item in them. Written notice of an objection must first be given to the Auditor General. A copy of the written notice must also be given to the council.

The Auditor General can be contacted via: Community Council Audits, Audit Wales, 1 Capital Quarter, Tyndall Street, Cardiff, CF10 4BZ or by email at [email protected].

The audit is being conducted under the provisions of the Public Audit (Wales) Act 2004, the Accounts and Audit (Wales) Regulations 2014 and the Auditor General for Wales’ Code of Audit Practice.

Electors’ rights under the Public Audit (Wales) Act 2004

By law, anyone may inspect the council’s accounts. If you are registered to vote in local council elections, you (or someone acting on your behalf) also have the right to ask the Auditor General questions about the accounts and to raise formal objections.

Inspecting the accounts
Once the council has finalised its accounts, it must advertise that they are available for inspection. After giving reasonable notice, you may inspect the accounts and supporting documents for 20 working days. Copies may be requested, although a copying charge may apply.

Asking the auditor questions
Questions may only be asked about the accounts that are subject to audit. The Auditor General does not have to answer questions about council policies, decisions or procedures unless they directly relate to the accounts, and does not have to say whether something is lawful or reasonable.

Objecting to the accounts
If you believe the council has spent money unlawfully, or that someone has caused a financial loss deliberately or through irresponsible behaviour, you may object. Objections must be made in writing to the Auditor General, explain the reasons clearly, and a copy must also be sent to the council. The Auditor General will decide what action, if any, to take. In some cases, you may appeal to the courts.
You may also object if you believe there is an issue in the accounts that should be reported publicly in the public interest. This process cannot be used to make personal complaints or claims.

Other ways to raise concerns
Instead of making a formal objection, you may provide information to the Auditor General if you believe there are errors in the accounts or concerns about waste or inefficiency. There are no set procedures or deadlines for doing this.

Important information
The cost of dealing with questions and objections is paid by local taxpayers. The Auditor General will only pursue matters that are in the public interest. If you take a matter to court, you may have to pay your own costs.

What a brilliant half‑term afternoon last Thursday at Maes Elwyn Park.
Huge thank you to Organised Kaos for delivering a fantastic Circus Skills Workshop — the families absolutely loved it and the smiles said it all.

So many great skills on show today. Well done everyone who joined in and gave it a go.
Community fun at its best.

Diwrnod hanner tymor gwych yn Parc Maes Elwyn.
Diolch enfawr i Organised Kaos am ddarparu Gweithdy Sgiliau Syrcas bendigedig — mwynhaodd y teuluoedd yn fawr ac roedd y gwên yn dweud y cyfan.

Cymaint o sgiliau gwych heddiw. Da iawn i bawb a ymunodd ac a roddodd gynnig arni.
Cymuned ar ei gorau.
