Understanding Devolution

I try to respond to comments on my blog, although most of them are given to me verbally rather than on-line! I wrote the post on the European Parliamentary Elections after a request and it has been my top post of all time!
So, this is my attempt to explain how Wales is governed within the [...]

Deall Datganoli

Rwy’n ceisio ymateb i sylwadau darllenwyr fy mlog, er bod y rhan fwyaf ohonynt ar lafar yn hytrach nag ar-lein. Ysgrifennais y postyn ar drefn yr Etholiad Ewropeaidd mewn ymateb i gais un o’m darllenwyr, a’r posyn hwnnw oedd yr un mwyaf poblogaidd erioed!
Felly, dyma fy ymgais i esbonio sut mae Cymru yn cael ei [...]

June Meeting

The June meeting was Selwyn Walter’s second meeting as Mayor, and the first occasion when I took the chair while Selwyn left the room as the council discussed funding for the carnival. There was no presentation this month so the meeting was shoter than usual.
Before the start of business, Selwyn presented Janet Evans with a [...]

Cyfarfod Mis Mehefin

Cyfarfod mis Mehefin oedd ail gyfarfod Selwyn Walters fel Maer, a’r tro cyntaf i fi gymryd y gadair o achos i Selwyn adael yr ystafell tra bod y cyngor yn trafod y carnifal. Nid oedd cyflwyniad y mis ‘ma ac roedd y cyfarfod yn un cymharol byr.
Cyn dechrau ar y busnes, cyflwynodd Selwyn darian y [...]

Recycling again

I had another meeting tonight to try to move the recycling bin project along. We hope to place 2 recycling bins in town on Market Street and in Pary yr Orsedd. Tonight’s meeting was about details, how often the bins would be emptied etc but it was very positive. Hopefully we will finally be in [...]

Ailgylchu eto

Ces i gyfarfod arall heno, er mwyn trio sortio’r biniau ailgylch ar gyfer Parc yr Orsedd a Stryd y Farchnad. Roeddwn ni’n trafod gwagio’r biniau – pa mor aml a manylion felly. Roedd e’n bositif iawn, a gobeithio bydd modd inni symud ymlaen gyda’r cynllun yn y cyfarfod wythnos nesaf.

Experience vs Youth

I was listening to an article on Radio Wales yesterday morning about a letter that Kim Howells (Pontypridd MP) had written on a number of issues, but focussing on young politicians. He aimed his criticism at career politicians in who had left university, worked for the Labour party, got a safe seat and ended up [...]
