| Ym mis Gorffennaf cyhoeddodd y Dirprwy Weinidog Tai a Llywodraeth Leol, Hannah Blythyn, y bydd cyllid cyfalaf o’r Rhaglen Trawsnewid Trefi, rhaglen sy’n werth £90 miliwn, yn cael ei ddefnyddio i ariannu addasiadau mewn canol trefi i hwyluso masnachu a sicrhau diogelwch y cyhoedd mewn ymateb i’r coronafeirws.            O seddi yn yr awyr agored, cysgodfeydd a gwres ar gyfer caffis a thafarnau, mannau aros yn yr awyr agored ar gyfer salonau ac arwyddion ac addasiadau i sicrhau y cedwir pellter cymdeithasol, i ddarparu pŵer ar gyfer marchnadoedd awyr agored. Mae galw am y gronfa ar ei uchaf erioed, gydag angen ar fusnesau i addasu i’r amgylchiadau presennol a ffyrdd newydd o weithredu i sicrhau diogelwch cwsmeriaid a staff ac i ddenu cwsmeriaid.    Un busnes yn Abertawe sydd wedi elwa ar y Gronfa yw Nomad Bar \& Kitchen, busnes annibynnol sy’n gwerthu bwydydd a diodydd unigryw gan gynhyrchwyr bach, ansawdd uchel, na welir mohonynt ar y stryd fawr fel arfer. Dyfarnwyd cyllid i’r busnes i brynu cysgodlen bren, wyth mainc picnic pren a dau gasebo y gellir eu codi yn ôl yr angen i’w galluogi i barhau i fasnachu wrth gydymffurfio â’r rheoliadau newydd.  Dywedodd y Dirprwy Weinidog Tai a Llywodraeth Leol, Hannah Blythyn:  Mae’n wych gweld cymaint o ddiddordeb yn y Gronfa £5\.3 miliwn ar gyfer masnachwyr a busnesau y cyhoeddais i ym mis Gorffennaf i helpu canol trefi i ailagor mewn modd diogel, ac i alluogi busnesau i barhau i fasnachu mewn amgylchedd diogel er gwaethaf yr heriau hyn. Mae Awdurdod Lleol Abertawe ei hun wedi derbyn dros 200 o ddatganiadau o ddiddordeb, ac mae’n galonogol gweld yr adborth cadarnhaol gan fusnesau annibynnol lleol sydd wedi dweud faint o ryddhad y bu’r cymorth iddyn nhw. Mae’r pandemig wedi atgyfnerthu ac wedi ailennyn ein hymrwymiad i ganol trefi yng Nghymru.  Er bod rhai o’r newidiadau rydyn ni wedi eu gweld wedi bod yn bositif, fel y symud i siopa’n lleol a’r cynnydd yn y niferoedd sy’n mynychu marchnadoedd awyr agored, mae busnesau wedi wynebu heriau newydd ers dechrau’r pandemig. Byddwn ni’n parhau i ddatblygu ein hagenda Trawsnewid Trefi er mwyn adeiladu canol trefi cynaliadwy lle gall busnesau ffynnu.  Dywedodd Lee Waters, Dirprwy Weinidog yr Economi a Thrafnidiaeth:  Mae'r coronafeirws wedi creu heriau a phwysau anhygoel i fusnesau ledled Cymru, yn enwedig y rhai ar y stryd fawr yng nghanol ein trefi llai. Fodd bynnag, un o effeithiau'r pandemig yw ein bod ni wedi gweld mwy o bobl yn gwario arian ar eu stryd fawr leol ac yn cefnogi ein busnesau annibynnol niferus sy'n eiddo i bobl leol. Rydyn ni'n gweithio'n galed i helpu canol trefi a'r stryd fawr drwy'r cyfnod cythryblus a heriol yma drwy amrywiaeth o gymorth busnes gan Lywodraeth Cymru ac rydw i'n falch bod ein cronfa Trawsnewid Trefi yn helpu cynifer o siopau, tafarndai, bwytai a busnesau lleol eraill yn Abertawe i addasu i heriau Covid\-19 a sicrhau diogelwch a chyfforddusrwydd eu cwsmeriaid. Y busnesau yma yw asgwrn cefn ein cymunedau ni a byddwn yn parhau i weithio'n galed i'w cefnogi nhw a chanol ein trefi drwy'r cyfnod anodd yma er mwyn iddyn nhw allu codi eto yn gryfach nag erioed.  Dywedodd Cyfarwyddwr Nomad Bar \& Kitchen:  Mae’r grant wedi cynnig rhaff achub amhrisiadwy inni, ac mae’r gallu i fuddsoddi mewn mannau awyr agored wedi ein helpu i parhau i agor yn ystod y cyfnod hwn o fesurau llymach ar gyfer cadw pellter cymdeithasol. Heb y grant, fydden ni ddim wedi gallu masnachu ar y lefelau sydd eu hangen i gynnal ein busnes yn y tymor hir.  Dywedodd Arweinydd Cyngor Abertawe, Rob Stewart:    Rydyn ni wedi gweithio’n ddi\-dor i ddosbarthu cyllid i fusnesau sy’n gymwys ar gyfer taliadau grant o’r fath.  Mae ymdrechion ein swyddogion a oedd yn gweinyddu’r cymorth hwn yn ein hardal wedi bod yn wych. Ac rydyn ni’n gwybod ei fod wedi cael effaith gadarnhaol ar yr economi leol. Rydyn ni’n parhau i weithio ochr yn ochr â phartneriaid fel Llywodraeth Cymru a busnesau – a byddwn ni yma ar gyfer Abertawe drwy gydol y pandemig. |

In July Deputy Minister for Housing and Local Government Hannah Blythyn announced capital funding from the £90 million Transforming Towns programme, will be used to fund adaptions in town centres to facilitate trading and public safety in response to Coronavirus.


From outdoor seating, shelter and heating for cafes/pubs and outdoor waiting areas for salons and social distancing signage and adaptions to providing lighting and power for outdoor markets. Demand for the fund has been at an all\-time high with businesses needing to adapt to current circumstances and new ways of operating to ensure customer and staff safety and drive footfall.


One business in Swansea which has benefited from the Fund is Nomad Bar \& Kitchen, an independent business offering unique food and drinks from small\-scale, high\-quality producers not usually found on the high street. The Business was awarded funding towards the purchase of a wooden awning, 8 wooden picnic benches, 6 patio heaters and 2 pop up gazebos to allow them continue trading whilst meeting new regulations. 


Deputy Minister for Housing and Local Government, Hannah Blythyn said:



> *It is fantastic to see such high interest in the £5\.3 million fund to support traders and business I announced in July to support the safe reopening of town centres and to allow businesses to continue to trade in a safe environment despite these challenges. Swansea local authority alone has received over 200 expressions of interest and been heartened by the positive feedback from local independent businesses who have expressed relief at the assistance.*
> 
> 
> *The pandemic has reinforced and reignited our commitment to town centres in Wales. Whilst some of the changes we have seen have been positive, such as a shift towards shopping local and a rise in the popularity of outdoor markets, businesses have overcome new challenges since the start of the pandemic.*
> 
> 
> *We will continue to build upon our Transforming Towns agenda to build sustainable town centres for the future where businesses can thrive.*


Deputy Minister for Economy and Transport Lee Waters said:



> Coronavirus has placed incredible challenges and pressures on businesses across Wales, not least those in our smaller town centre high streets. However one effect of the pandemic is that  we have seen  more people spending money on their local high streets and supporting our many locally owned businesses.
> 
> 
> We are working hard to help town centres and high streets through these turbulent and challenging times through a range of Welsh Government business support  and I am pleased that our Transforming Towns fund is helping so many shops, pubs and restaurants and other businesses in Swansea to adapt to the challenges of Covid\-19 and ensure the safety and comfort of their customers.
> 
> 
> These businesses are the lifeblood of our communities and we will keep working hard to support them and our many town centres through this difficult time so they can bounce back stronger than ever.


The Director of Nomad Bar \& Kitchen said:



> The grant has offered us an invaluable lifeline, being able to invest in our outdoor space has helped us remain open during this period of increased social distancing measures, without it, we would not be able to trade at the levels needed to sustain our business long term.


Swansea Council leader Rob Stewart said:



> We’ve worked flat\-out to distribute funds to businesses eligible for grant payments such as this.
> 
> 
> It’s been an incredible effort by our officers who delivered this assistance around our area. We know it’s had a positive effect on the local economy.
> 
> 
> We continue to work alongside partners such as the Welsh Government and businesses \- and we’ll be here for Swansea throughout the pandemic.
