  Ym mis Mehefin y llynedd, sefydlais Grŵp Gorchwyl a Gorffen Ardal Twf Lleol Dyffryn Teifi i archwilio sut y gellid defnyddio’r model ardal twf lleol a oedd yn cael ei roi ar waith ym Mhowys yn Nyffryn Teifi. Rwy’n falch o fod yn ymateb yn gadarnhaol i’r adroddiad ac i gyhoeddi fy mod i wedi cytuno i sefydlu Ardal Twf Lleol yn Nyffryn Teifi.

 Gofynnais i’r Grŵp Gorchwyl a Gorffen ystyried sut i annog a chefnogi swyddi, ysgogi twf economaidd a phrofi gwahanol fathau o ymyriadau a oedd yn ystyriol o amgylchiadau economaidd a heriau twf lleol y Dyffryn, a’r defnydd amlwg o’r Gymraeg.

 Cyflwynodd y Grŵp, a gadeiriwyd gan Delyth Humfryes MBE, Cadeirydd Undeb Credyd Gorllewin Cymru, ei adroddiad i mi ym mis Rhagfyr 2013 ynghyd â dogfen ategol yn nodi’r dystiolaeth helaeth a gasglwyd gan y Grŵp. Cyhoeddais Adroddiad y Grŵp a’r ddogfen tystiolaeth ategol ar wefan Llywodraeth Cymru yn gynharach eleni a gwahoddais sylwadau ar y 26 Argymhelliad a wnaed gan y Grŵp Gorchwyl a Gorffen.

 Archwiliais argymhellion y Grŵp gyda Chadeirydd y Grŵp Gorchwyl a Gorffen, gyda chyd\-Weinidogion a chydag eraill. Roedd rhai o’r argymhellion i gynghorau Sir Gaerfyrddin, Ceredigion a Sir Benfro eu datblygu.

 Mae Llywodraeth Cymru wedi ymrwymo i wneud yr hyn a all i wella’r amgylchedd cystadleuol i fusnesau ledled Cymru a bydd gan Ardal Twf Lleol Dyffryn Teifi swyddogaeth bwysig i’w chyflawni. Bydd ein hymateb i’r adroddiad hwn yn helpu i greu ysgogiad lleol i gefnogi busnesau yn well ac i annog swyddi a thwf y gellir eu datblygu mewn mannau eraill yn y dyfodol.

 Hoffwn ddiolch i Delyth Humfryes, MBE, ac aelodau’r Grŵp Gorchwyl a Gorffen am baratoi adroddiad mor drylwyr, a roddodd lawer i ni ei ystyried ac sydd wedi derbyn cefnogaeth eang o bob cwr.

 Mae gwaith ar y gweill erbyn hyn i sefydlu’r strwythur Llywodraethu priodol ar gyfer yr Ardal Twf Lleol a byddaf yn darparu diweddariadau pellach wrth i’r gwaith hwn ddatblygu.

In June last year, I established the Teifi Valley Local Growth Zone Task and Finish Group to explore how the local growth zone model being implemented in Powys may also be applied to the Teifi Valley area. I am pleased to be responding positively to the report and to announce that I have agreed to establish a Local Growth Zone in the Teifi Valley.


I asked the Task and Finish Group to consider how to encourage and support jobs, to stimulate economic growth and to test different types of interventions sensitive to the Valley’s local economic circumstances, growth challenges and prominent use of the Welsh language.


The Group, Chaired by Delyth Humfryes MBE, Chair of the West Wales Credit Union, presented their report to me in December 2013 accompanied by a supporting document detailing the extensive evidence gathered by the Group. I published the Group’s Report and supporting evidence document on the Welsh Government website earlier this year and invited comment on the 26 Recommendations identified by the Task and Finish Group.


I explored the Group’s recommendations with the Chair of the task and Finish Group, with Ministerial colleagues and with others. Some of the recommendations were for Carmarthenshire, Ceredigion and Pembrokeshire councils to take forward.


The Welsh Government is committed to doing what it can to improve the competitive environment throughout Wales for businesses, and the Teifi Valley Local Growth Zone will have a significant part to play. Our response to this report will help create a local stimulus to better support business and to encourage jobs and growth which can be applied elsewhere in future.


I would like to thank Delyth Humfryes, MBE, and the members of the Task and Finish Group for preparing such a thorough report, which gave us much to consider and which has received broad support from all quarters.


Work is now underway to establish the appropriate Governance structure for the Local Growth Zone and I will provide further updates as this work progresses.
