On Friday, 8 July, I held a successful North Wales Summit with key stakeholders from both sides of the border to discuss how economic opportunities across the region can be maximised for North Wales.


The findings of the Northern Powerhouse Independent Economic Review were launched by Sir Richard Leese, John Cridland and Lord O'Neill in Liverpool on 30 June. It is vitally important that North Wales is fully linked into this flagship economic plan and I will be seeking meetings with the UK government to press this matter.


I was joined at the summit by the Under Secretary of State for Wales and a number of representatives from a range of business organisations including the Institute of Directors, Federation of Small Businesses, CBI, the WLGA, the North Wales Business Council, Welsh Enterprise Zone chairs, the Cheshire and North Wales Chamber and the Mersey Dee Alliance.


It is my belief that we can help to drive an arc of prosperity from Holyhead to Wrexham and on to Liverpool, Manchester, Leeds and beyond. At the meeting, we discussed how cross\-border economic development can be accelerated to help achieve this vision, by a range of mutually\-advantageous initiatives, including modernising the transport network, a clear cross\-border economic development strategy and a strong cross\-border economic approach.


The Mersey Dee Alliance, the North Wales Economic Ambition Board, and representative bodies have been working closely for some time now to identify appropriate projects to include in a bid being developed in response to the Chancellor of the Exchequer who has invited proposals for a North Wales Growth Deal, linking into the Northern Powerhouse.


We have now agreed to establish a small working group to review and inform this work and I will be meeting the North Wales local authority leaders at their meeting this Friday, 15 July. I will also be meeting with the All Party Parliamentary Group on the Mersey Dee area and we will be consulting widely with social partners and trades Unions as part of our wider economic priorities for a prosperous and secure economy.


I will continue to keep Members up\-dated as matters develop with this work.

Ddydd Gwener 8 Gorffennaf, cynhelais Uwch\-gynhadledd lwyddiannus yng Ngogledd Cymru gyda rhanddeiliaid o bob ochr i’r ffin i drafod sut y gallai Gogledd Cymru fanteisio i’r eithaf ar y cyfleoedd economaidd ar draws y rhanbarth.

Cafodd ganfyddiadau Adolygiad Economaidd Annibynnol gan Northern Powerhouse ei lansio gan Syr Richard Leese, John Cridland a’r Arglwydd O'Neill yn Lerpwl ar 30 Mehefin. Mae’n hollbwysig bod Gogledd Cymru yn cael ei chynnwys yn y cynllun economaidd pwysig hwn, ac fe fyddaf yn trefnu cyfarfodydd gyda Llywodraeth y DU i bwyso ar y mater hwn.  

Hefyd yn yr Uwch\-gynhadledd oedd Is\-ysgrifennydd Cymru a nifer o gynrychiolwyr o amrywiol sefydliadau busnes gan gynnwys Sefydliad y Cyfarwyddwyr, Ffederasiwn y Busnesau Bach, CBI, CLlLC, Cyngor Busnes Gogledd Cymru, cadeiryddion Ardal Fenter Cymru, Siambr Swydd Gaer a Gogledd Cymru a Cynghrair Mersi a’r Ddyfrdwy.

Rwy’n teimlo y gallwn helpu i ddatblygu bwa o ffyniant o Gaergybi i Wrecsam ac ymlaen i Lerpwl, Manceinion, Leeds a thu hwnt. Yn y cyfarfod, buom yn trafod sut y gellir cyflymu datblygiadau economaidd ar draws y ffin i helpu i gyflawni’r weledigaeth hon, drwy amrywiol fentrau fyddai o fantais i bawb, gan gynnwys moderneiddio’r rhwydwaith trafnidiaeth, strategaeth economaidd clir ar draws y ffin a gweithredu economaidd cadarn ar draws y ffin.

Mae Cynghrair Mersi a’r Ddyfrdwy, Bwrdd Uchelgais Economaidd Gogledd Cymru, a chyrff cynrychioladol wedi bod yn cydweithio’n agos am gryn amser bellach i nodi prosiectau addas i gynnwys datblygu cais i ymateb i  Ganghellor y Trysorlys sydd wedi gwahodd cynigion am Fargen Twf ar gyfer Gogledd Cymru, gan gysylltu â’r Northern Powerhouse.

Rydym bellach wedi cytuno i sefydlu gweithgor bychan i adolygu a llywio’r gwaith hwn a byddaf yn cyfarfod ag arweinwyr Awdurdodau Lleol Gogledd Cymru yn eu cyfarfod ddydd Gwener yma, y 15fed Gorffennaf. Byddaf hefyd mewn cyfarfod â’r Grŵp Seneddol Hollbleidiol yn ardal y Mersi a’r Ddyfrdwy a byddwn yn ymgynghori’n eang â phartneriaid cymdeithasol ac Undebau Llafur fel rhan o’n blaenoriaethau economaidd ehangach am economi lewyrchus a diogel.

Byddaf yn parhau i roi’r newyddion diweddaraf i’r Aelodau wrth i faterion ddatblygu gyda’r gwaith hwn.
