Rwyf wedi derbyn copi o adroddiad Grŵp Gorchwyl a Gorffen Cludo Nwyddau Cymru ac mae ar gael ar\-lein.

Hoffwn ddiolch i Gadeirydd y Grŵp, Brian Curtis, a’r holl aelodau am eu cyfraniad.

Fel imi sôn yn fy natganiad dyddiedig 18 Gorffennaf 2013 pan gyhoeddais fy mod am sefydlu’r Grŵp, mae rhwydweithiau cludo nwyddau cynaliadwy yn ffactor bwysig mewn unrhyw economi fodern ac mae’n bwysig eu hintegreiddio’n llawn wrth ddatblygu fframwaith cynllunio trafnidiaeth ar gyfer Cymru yn y dyfodol.

Cylch gwaith y Grŵp Gorchwyl a Gorffen oedd rhoi cyngor i mi ar broblemau strategol oedd yn effeithio ar drafnidiaeth cludo nwyddau yn sgil fy mlaenoriaethau economaidd ehangach.  Yn ogystal, ei waith oedd canolbwyntio ar y prif gamau ymyrryd y byddai’n rhaid eu cymryd i ddatblygu Ardaloedd Menter a chanolfannau busnes a masnach yn ehangach.

Rwy’n croesawu’r adroddiad sy’n gynhwysol, strategol a chynhwysfawr.

Rwy’n nodi’r cyswllt cyd\-destunol pwysig y mae’r adroddiad yn ei wneud â’r Rhwydwaith Trafnidiaeth Traws\-Ewropeaidd (TEN\-T) yng Nghymru.  Mae’n gyson â’m hagwedd at TEN\-T a’m hymrwymiad i wneud y gorau o bob cyfle y mae trefniadau TEN\-T newydd yn ei gynnig i ariannu a buddsoddi er lles Cymru.

Mae’r adroddiad yn gwneud 24 argymhelliad i gyd, yn ymdrin â rheilffyrdd, ffyrdd a phorthladdoedd a chynllunio defnydd tir.

Rwy’n derbyn yr argymhellion sy’n perthyn i’m portffolio i ac rwyf wedi gofyn i’m swyddogion baratoi cynllun ar gyfer eu gweithredu.

Mae argymhellion K ac L yn ymwneud â’r pontydd Hafren. Rwy’n derbyn egwyddor yr argymhellion hyn, a bydd angen ystyried ymhellach efallai, yn dibynnu ar a fyddwn yn berchen ar y pontydd hyn.

Rwy’n derbyn Argymhelliad X hefyd, sy’n ymwneud â chefnogi ailgyflwyno cludo containers ‘load on – load off’ trwy borthladd Caergybi pe ceid cyfleoedd yn y dyfodol.  Bydd yn rhaid i mi ystyried union natur y gefnogaeth honno pan ddaw’r cyfleoedd hynny.  

Mae dau o’r argymhellion yn ymwneud â chynllunio defnydd tir ac rwyf wedi ysgrifennu at y Gweinidog Tai ac Adfywio i ofyn iddo eu hystyried.

Cewch adroddiad gennyf flwyddyn nesaf ar hynt pethau.

I have received the report of the Wales Freight Task \& Finish Group which can be found online.


I would like to thank the Chair of the Group, Brian Curtis, and all the members for their input.


As set out in my statement of 18 July 2013 announcing the setting up of the Group, I consider sustainable freight networks to be a major factor in all successful modern economies and that it is important to integrate them fully in developing the transport planning framework for Wales for the future.


The Task \& Finish Group’s remit was to advise me on strategic issues affecting freight transport in the light of my wider economic development priorities, and to focus on key interventions needed to support the development of Enterprise Zones and commercial and business centres more widely.


I welcome the  report, which is inclusive, strategic and comprehensive.


I note the important, contextual link that the report makes to the Trans\-European Transport Network (TEN\-T) in Wales. This aligns with the approach I am taking to TEN\-T and my commitment to maximise opportunities for funding and investment for Wales under the new TEN\-T arrangements.


The report makes twenty four recommendations in total, covering rail, roads and ports, and land use planning.


I accept the recommendations that fall to my portfolio and I have asked my officials to develop an implementation plan.


Recommendations K and L relate to the Severn Crossings.  I am accepting these recommendations in principle because further consideration might be required depending on whether the Crossings come into our ownership..


I am also accepting Recommendation X in principle, which relates to supporting the re\-introduction of load on\-load off container freight through Holyhead port if opportunities were to arise in the future. I would need to consider the exact nature of any support when or if the opportunities arose.


Two of the recommendations, A and B, relate to land use planning, and I have written to the Minister for Housing and Regeneration asking him to consider them.


I shall provide an update on progress later in the year.
