Heddiw, am 10:00 o’r gloch, byddaf yn cyhoeddi fy mhenderfyniad ynglŷn â dyrannu cronfeydd Grant Trafnidiaeth i awdurdodau lleol yn 2012\-13\.


Eleni, mae’n bleser gennyf gyhoeddi bod cyfanswm y cyllid Grant Trafnidiaeth yn £11\.465 miliwn, ac mae hynny’n unol â’r cyllidebau y mae Llywodraeth Cymru wedi cytuno arnynt. Y Grant Trafnidiaeth (GT) yw mecanwaith ar gyfer buddsoddi arian cyfalaf gydag Awdurdodau Lleol i wella’r seilwaith trafnidiaeth, ac ar yr un pryd, fod o gymorth i gefnogi’r economi leol. Bydd yr Aelodau’n ymwybodol ein bod wrthi’n rheoli proses o drosglwyddo o’r mecanwaith ariannu GT i’r trefniant Grant Consortia Trafnidiaeth. Mae’r cyhoeddiad hwn yn ychwanegol at y £25 miliwn yr wyf wedi ei gymeradwyo i awdurdodau lleol sy’n gweithio gyda’i gilydd fel Consortia Trafnidiaeth RhanbarthoI er mwyn sicrhau eu Cynlluniau Trafnidiaeth Rhanbarthol a’u prosiectau Diogelwch ar y Ffyrdd. Cyn bo hir, byddaf yn cyhoeddi cylch arall o arian cyllid i awdurdodau lleol er mwyn cefnogi gwelliannau i ddulliau trafnidiaeth cynaliadwy ledled Cymru.


Heddiw, rwy’n cyhoeddi arian at gynlluniau Ffyrdd GT sydd yn y rhaglen gyfredol ac sy’n dirwyn i ben. Mae’r rhan fwyaf o’r cynlluniau ar agor i draffig ac wedi eu cwblhau, a’r costau sy’n gysylltiedig â’r rhain yw rhai’n ymdrin â gweddill y materion tir a chytundebau.


Yn ystod 2011/12, dechreuodd y gwaith adeiladu ar ran olaf Ffordd Mynediad Ystad Ddiwydiannol Wrecsam, a pharhaodd y gwaith ar Welliant i Briffordd Ysbyty Ystrad Fawr yn Ystrad Mynach i gefnogi’r gwaith o ddatblygu ysbyty newydd. Cwblheir y


cynlluniau hyn yn 2012/13\. Mae Ffordd Ddosbarthu Cyrion Port Talbot, a elwir yn lleol yn “Harbour Way”, i fod i gael ei chwblhau yn 2013/14\.


Mae’n bwysig bod y cynlluniau hyn yn symud yn eu blaenau ac yn cael eu cwblhau er mwyn cynorthwyo gyda’n hamcanion strategol eangach, sef adfywio economaidd trwy sbarduno’r economi leol. Fodd bynnag, rhaid i’r ymrwymiad i ariannu elfennau o’r cynlluniau hyn sydd heb gychwyn cael eu hadeiladu eto, gael ei wneud o fewn cyd\-destun fforddiadwyedd, ac nad oes gormod o effaith ar gyllidebau yn y dyfodol. Rydym yn gweithio gyda’r awdurdodau dan sylw i wneud y mwyaf o bosibiliadau ariannu eraill er mwyn cynyddu’r buddsoddiad sylweddol yr ydym yn ei wneud eisoes i’r cynlluniau dan sylw, ac i sicrhau ein bod yn cael yr atebion sy’n rhoi’r gwerth gorau am arian.  Rydym wedi llwyddo i gael swm sylweddol o Arian Cydgyfeirio Cronfa Datblygu Rhanbarthol Ewrop fel cymorth i dalu am gostau cynllun Harbour Way sy’n werth £111 miliwn.


Rwy’n sicrhau bod £11\.465 miliwn ar gael i awdurdodau lleol fwrw ymlaen â gwelliannau i’r rhwydwaith ffyrdd lleol yn 2012/13\.  


Mae copi o’r symiau sy’n mynd i awdurdodau unigol yn amgaeedig er gwybodaeth.

I am announcing my decision on the allocation of Transport Grant funds to local authorities in 2012\-13 at 10:00hrs today.


This year I am pleased to announce total Transport Grant funding of £11\.465 million which is in accordance with Welsh Government agreed budgets. Transport Grant (TG) is a mechanism by which we invest capital monies with Local Authorities to improve Wales’ transport infrastructure and at the same time help to support the local economy. Members will be aware that we are managing a transition from the TG funding mechanism to the Regional Transport Consortia Grant arrangement. This announcement is in addition to the allocation of £25 million I have approved for local authorities working together as Regional Transport Consortia, to deliver their Regional Transport Plans and Road Safety projects. I will announce a further round of funding allocations shortly to local authorities to support improvements to sustainable transport modes across Wales.  


I am today announcing allocations to TG Road schemes in the existing programme that are coming to a close. Most of the schemes are open to traffic and complete and the associated costs for these relate to dealing with outstanding land issues and contractual agreements.


During 2011/12 construction work began on the final section of the Wrexham Industrial Estate Access Road and works continued on the Ysbyty Ystrad Fawr Highway Improvement in Ystrad Mynach to support the development of a new


hospital. These schemes will be completed in 2012/13\. The Port Talbot Peripheral Distributor Road known locally as “Harbour Way”, is due to be competed in 2013/14\.  


It is important that schemes progress and are completed in order to assist with our broader strategic objectives of economic regeneration through stimulation of the local economy.  However, the commitment to fund elements of these schemes which have yet to start construction has to be made within the context of affordability and the impact on future budgets is not excessive.  We are working with the authorities’ concerned to maximise alternative funding possibilities to augment the considerable investment we are already making in the schemes concerned and to ensure the best value for money solutions are found.  We have been successful in securing considerable ERDF Convergence Funding to help defray the costs of the £111 million Harbour Way scheme.


I am making £11\.465 million available to local authorities to take forward and progress local road network improvements in 2012/13\.  


A copy of the allocations to individual authorities is attached for your information.
