Roeddwn i’n awyddus i roi diweddariad ar raglen yr Ardaloedd Menter yng Nghymru ac yn benodol ar Fyrddau Cynghori Ardaloedd Menter Ynys Môn, Aberdaugleddau a Phort Talbot.


Yn fy natganiad ar 2 Mawrth 2022, wrth i bandemig COVID\-19 ddod i ben ac yn dilyn Brexit, amlinellais fy nghynllun i ymestyn y penodiadau i'r Byrddau hyn am gyfnod o hyd at 12 mis ac i gynnal proses o adnewyddu aelodaeth y bwrdd ar ôl hynny.


Ers hynny, mae heriau economaidd a chymdeithasol difrifol a phellach wedi codi, fel y rhyfel yn Wcráin a'r argyfwng costau byw. O ystyried hyn a’r datblygiadau polisi pwysig sydd ar y gorwel wrth i ni ystyried dyfodiad posibl Porthladdoedd Rhydd (a ddatblygir ar y cyd gan Lywodraeth Cymru a Llywodraeth y DU), ymgysylltu pellach gan Lywodraeth y DU ar Ardaloedd Buddsoddi a chamau i sefydlu Cyd\-bwyllgorau Corfforaethol, mae goblygiadau posibl i’n strwythurau llywodraethu rhanbarthol wrth i ni symud ymlaen. 


Rwyf felly yn gwahodd Byrddau presennol Ynys Môn, Aberdaugleddau a Phort Talbot i barhau yn eu swyddi am gyfnod pellach o hyd at 12 mis a fydd yn rhoi hwb pellach i'r dull gweithredu ar sail lle i ddatblygu polisi economaidd yn ystod y cyfnod hwn. Bydd hyn yn caniatáu mwy o sicrwydd ar yr ôl troed sydd ar ddod wrth i ni symud ymlaen, y strwythur cynghori yn y dyfodol a allai ddod i'r amlwg a sut y bydd hyn, yn y pen draw, yn cefnogi ein camau i gyflawni’r Rhaglen Lywodraethu. 


Hoffwn nodi fy ngwerthfawrogiad i'r Cadeiryddion \- Mr Neil Rowlands, Mr Roger Maggs MBE a Mr Stan McIlvenny OBE – a phob Aelod arall o'r Bwrdd a'r awdurdodau lleol am gytuno i barhau i gefnogi’r rhaglen Ardaloedd Menter ac i ymgysylltu â hi. Hoffwn ddiolch hefyd i'r awdurdodau lleol a phartneriaid eraill ar draws yr Ardaloedd Menter eraill sy'n parhau i chwarae rhan bwysig wrth yrru ein hagenda gyffredin ymlaen.


Byddaf yn rhoi diweddariad pellach i'r Aelodau ar ddiwedd y flwyddyn galendr hon.

I wanted to provide Members with an update on the Enterprise Zone programme in Wales and specifically on the Advisory Boards for Anglesey, Haven, and Port Talbot Enterprise Zones (EZs).


In my statement on 2 March 2022, as we emerged from the COVID\-19 pandemic in a post\-Brexit landscape, I outlined my plan to extend appointments to these Boards for a period of up to 12 months and to undergo a process to refresh membership after that.   


Since then, further, and severe economic and social challenges have arisen, such as the war in Ukraine and the cost\-of\-living crisis. Given this and the important policy developments on the horizon as we consider the potential advent of Freeports (being jointly developed by Welsh and UK Governments), further engagement from the UK Government on Investment Zones and the establishment of Corporate Joint Committees, there are   potential implications for our regional governance structures moving forward. 


I am therefore inviting the current Boards of Anglesey, Haven, and Port Talbot to continue in their roles for a further period of up to 12 months which will further support the place\-based approach to economic policy development during this period. It will allow for greater certainty on the emerging footprint moving forward, the future advisory architecture that might evolve, and how this will ultimately best support our delivery on the Programme for Government.


I wish to put on record my appreciation to the Chairs \- Mr Neil Rowlands, Mr Roger Maggs MBE and Mr Stan McIlvenny OBE \- all of their fellow board members and local authorities for agreeing to lend their continued support and engagement to the Enterprise Zone programme. I would also like to thank the local authorities and other partners across all the other Enterprise Zone areas who continue to play a significant role in driving forward our common agenda.


I will provide a further update to Members at the end of this calendar year.
