Members will be aware that I reconvened the Wales Pavement Parking Taskforce last year and asked them to explore other ways of achieving our policy aims for pavement parking. The taskforce subsequently provided an addendum to its original report and I accepted its recommendation: Welsh Government response to the recommendations made in the Pavement Parking Task Force report


Following this work, the proposal was to consult widely, with a view to introducing the necessary legislation by the end of 2023\.


However, I recognise that we are asking a lot of hard\-pressed local authorities at what continues to be a difficult time. I have listened to the feedback from leaders and decided to delay the consultation on pavement parking until next year. This will enable local authorities to focus on the implementation and introduction of default 20mph speed limits in September 2023 and the work to prepare for bus franchising.


This is an incredibly busy period for local government. Councils across Wales continue to deliver vitally important services, which people rely on every day and we continue to support them to do so. We have worked closely with, and supported local authorities, through the tough times of austerity, through floods, through the pandemic, and through the cost\-of\-living crisis.


I want to put on record my thanks to all local government elected members and staff for the critical work that they do for communities, people, and businesses across Wales.


This statement is being issued during recess in order to keep members informed. Should members wish me to make a further statement or to answer questions on this when the Senedd returns I would be happy to do so.

Bydd yr Aelodau’n ymwybodol imi ailgynnull Tasglu Parcio ar y Palmant Cymru y llynedd a gofyn iddynt archwilio ffyrdd eraill o gyflawni ein nodau polisi ar gyfer parcio ar y palmant. Wedi hynny, darparodd y tasglu atodiad i’w adroddiad gwreiddiol a derbyniais ei argymhelliad: Ymateb Llywodraeth Cymru i argymhellion a wnaed yn Adroddiad Grŵp Tasglu Parcio ar y palmant Cymru


Yn dilyn y gwaith hwn, y cynnig oedd ymgynghori’n eang, gyda’r bwriad o gyflwyno’r ddeddfwriaeth angenrheidiol erbyn diwedd 2023\.


Fodd bynnag, rwy’n cydnabod ein bod yn gofyn i lawer o awdurdodau lleol sydd dan bwysau mawr ar yr hyn sy’n parhau i fod yn gyfnod anodd. Rwyf wedi gwrando ar yr adborth gan arweinwyr ac wedi penderfynu gohirio’r ymgynghoriad ar barcio ar balmentydd tan y flwyddyn nesaf. Bydd hyn yn galluogi awdurdodau lleol i ganolbwyntio ar weithredu a chyflwyno terfynau cyflymder 20mya diofyn ym mis Medi 2023 a’r gwaith i baratoi ar gyfer masnachfreinio bysiau.


Mae hwn yn gyfnod hynod o brysur i lywodraeth leol. Mae cynghorau ledled Cymru yn parhau i ddarparu gwasanaethau hanfodol bwysig, y mae pobl yn dibynnu arnynt bob dydd ac rydym yn parhau i'w cefnogi i wneud hynny. Rydym wedi gweithio’n agos gydag awdurdodau lleol, a’u cefnogi, drwy’r cyfnod anodd o galedi, drwy lifogydd, drwy’r pandemig, a thrwy’r argyfwng costau byw.


Rwyf am gofnodi fy niolch i holl aelodau etholedig a staff llywodraeth leol am y gwaith hollbwysig y maent yn ei wneud i gymunedau, pobl a busnesau ledled Cymru.


Caiff y datganiad ei gyhoeddi yn ystod y toriad er mwyn rhoi'r wybodaeth ddiweddaraf i aelodau. Os bydd aelodau eisiau i mi wneud datganiad pellach neu ateb cwestiynau ynglŷn â hyn pan fydd y Senedd yn dychwelyd, byddwn yn hapus i wneud hynny.
