This written statement provides an update on the work of my department in considering the next steps for the arrangements associated with the management and operation of the Motorway and Trunk Roads in Wales.


Welsh Ministers are directly responsible for the operation, maintenance and improvement of the Motorway and Trunk Road Network in Wales, an asset worth approximately £13\.5bn. If not managed efficiently and effectively on a day to day basis the resulting unplanned maintenance causes significant delay and disruption to the public and business. Therefore, as well as providing value for money, the highway service delivery model must be highly responsive and agile enough to scale up and down to meet changing priorities.


The day to day operation, maintenance and improvement of the network is currently carried out on behalf of Welsh Ministers by two public sector agents. Staff in the South Wales Trunk Road Agent are employed by Neath Port Talbot County Borough Council.  Staff in the North and Mid Wales Trunk Road Agent are employed by Gwynedd County Council.


The current model is the outcome of a process of continuous review and improvement which resulted in the number of public sector agents being reduced from 8 to 3 in 2005 and from 3 to 2 in 2012\.


A recent review of the current operational arrangements has shown that there is merit in considering further changes to the management and delivery structures, so as to obtain more improvements in service delivery and Value for Money.


The continuing budget pressures and the need for ever increasing levels of service standards to ensure minimal delays to business and the public using the roads network means change is now needed. I have therefore decided to bring the management of the road network much closer to the Welsh Government.


I am currently considering a number of delivery options for achieving this quickly.


I will provide a further update on this matter, following completion of the more detailed analysis in the autumn. I intend to introduce changes in 2015\.

Mae’r datganiad ysgrifenedig hwn yn disgrifio’r diweddaraf y mae fy adran wedi’i wneud o ran ystyried camau nesaf y trefniadau ar gyfer rheoli a rhedeg Traffyrdd a Chefnffyrdd yng Nghymru.

Cyfrifoldeb Gweinidogion Cymru yw gweithredu, cynnal a chadw a gwella Traffyrdd a Chefnffyrdd Cymru, ased gwerth tua £13\.5bn.  O beidio â gofalu amdanynt yn effeithiol ac effeithlon o ddydd i ddydd, gallai’r gwaith cynnal a chadw ddaw o ganlyniad i hynny arwain at oedi a tharfu mawr ar fywydau’r cyhoedd a busnesau.  Felly, yn ogystal â rhoi gwerth ein harian i ni, rhaid i’r model darparu gwasanaethau priffyrdd fod yn ddigon ymatebol a hyblyg i allu prysuro neu leihau gwaith yn ôl gofyn blaenoriaethau cyfnewidiol.  

Mae’r rhwydwaith yn cael ei redeg, ei gynnal a’i gadw a’i wella ar ran Gweinidogion Cymru gan ddwy asiantaeth gyhoeddus.  Cyflogir staff Asiantaeth Cefnffyrdd y De gan Gyngor Sir Castell\-nedd Port Talbot a staff Asiantaeth Cefnffyrdd y Gogledd a’r Canolbarth gan Gyngor Gwynedd.

Mae’r model diweddaraf yn ffrwyth cyfnod hir o adolygu a gwella parhaus a arweiniodd at leihau nifer yr asiantwyr sector cyhoeddus o 8 i 3 yn 2005 ac o 3 i 2 yn 2012\.

Yn ôl adolygiad diweddar o’r trefniadau presennol, barnwyd y byddai’n syniad da ystyried newidiadau pellach i’r trefniadau rheoli a darparu er mwyn gallu darparu’r gwasanaeth yn well fyth a chael mwy am ein harian.

Mae’r gwasgfeydd parhaus ar y gyllideb a’r angen i godi safonau’r gwasanaeth i sicrhau bod y cyhoedd a busnesau sy’n defnyddio’r rhwydwaith ffyrdd yn wynebu cyn lleied o oedi â phosibl yn golygu bod newidiadau pellach yn angenrheidiol.  Rwyf felly wedi penderfynu bod angen dod â threfniadau rheoli’r rhwydwaith ffyrdd yn nes at Lywodraeth Cymru.

Rwyf wrthi’n ystyried nifer o opsiynau ar gyfer gwneud hyn yn gyflym.

Byddaf yn rhoi mwy o wybodaeth i chi ar y mater ar ôl dadansoddi’r sefyllfa’n fanylach yn yr hydref.  Fy mwriad yw cyflwyno newidiadau yn 2015\.
