As local government's budgets have reduced and increasing social care demand and education needs have had to be met, non-statutory services, or services with a minimum statutory duty, such as libraries, have been cut, and cut severely across Wales. Such cuts have seen library hours cut and libraries closed, which impacts on the poorest most; leisure facilities reduced, when increasing physical activity and reducing obesity should be a priority in order to improve people's health; youth services cut, which affects the lives of young people. Does the Minister agree with my analysis and, if so, what is she going to do to try and increase the amount of money available to local authorities next year? If the Minister doesn't agree with what I've said, can you explain why?

Gan fod cyllidebau llywodraeth leol wedi lleihau a'n bod wedi gorfod ateb y galw cynyddol ar ofal cymdeithasol ac anghenion addysg, mae gwasanaethau anstatudol, neu wasanaethau â dyletswydd statudol sylfaenol, megis llyfrgelloedd, wedi cael eu torri, a'u torri'n ddifrifol ledled Cymru. Mae toriadau o'r fath wedi arwain at doriad yn amserau agor llyfrgelloedd ac mae rhai llyfrgelloedd wedi cau, a'r bobl tlotaf sy'n cael eu heffeithio fwyaf gan hyn; lleihau nifer y cyfleusterau hamdden, pan ddylai cynyddu gweithgarwch corfforol a lleihau gordewdra fod yn flaenoriaeth i wella iechyd pobl; toriadau i wasanaethau ieuenctid, sy'n effeithio ar fywydau pobl ifanc. A yw'r Gweinidog yn cytuno â fy nadansoddiad ac os felly, beth y mae'n bwriadu ei wneud i geisio cynyddu'r swm o arian sydd ar gael i awdurdodau lleol y flwyddyn nesaf? Os nad yw'r Gweinidog yn cytuno â'r hyn a ddywedais, a allwch chi egluro pam?

I mentioned there will be obviously further monitoring on the back of the report that the Minister for Economy and Transport published last week. We are expecting levels of compliance to improve significantly, as I said, following the installation of the average speed cameras and the comprehensive signing layout. It is something that we need to continue to work on. What we want to do is achieve compliance in the shortest time possible, so that's why we, for instance, are having continued development and stakeholder engagement on the precautionary retained measures, and in the case of the A470, the measures are a clean air zone, air quality barriers and improved car parking.

Soniais y bydd monitro pellach wrth gwrs yn dilyn yr adroddiad a gyhoeddodd Gweinidog yr Economi a Thrafnidiaeth yr wythnos diwethaf. Rydym yn disgwyl i lefelau cydymffurfiaeth wella'n sylweddol, fel y dywedais, ar ôl gosod y camerâu cyflymder cyfartalog a'r cynllun arwyddion cynhwysfawr. Mae'n rhywbeth y mae angen i ni barhau i weithio arno. Rydym eisiau sicrhau cydymffurfiaeth yn yr amser byrraf posibl, felly dyna pam ein bod, er enghraifft, yn parhau i ddatblygu ac ymgysylltiad â rhanddeiliaid ar y mesurau rhagofalus a ddargedwir, ac yn achos yr A470, mae'r mesurau'n cynnwys parth aer glân, rhwystrau ansawdd aer a chyfleusterau parcio gwell.
Dywed ei fod yn dameidiog ac mae'n rhoi un enghraifft, ond credaf fod enghraifft arall wedi'i hawgrymu yn awr yn y ffaith bod cwmnïau yswiriant - bydd ein pobl hŷn yn dibynnu ar gystadleuaeth. Ni allwch gael cwmni yswiriant yn gwahaniaethu ar sail rhyw. Pam y dylent allu gwneud hynny ar sail oedran?

He says it's piecemeal and gives one example, but I think another example was inferred just now in that insurance companies - our older people will just rely on competition. You can't have an insurance company discriminate on the basis of gender. Why should they be able to do it on the basis of age?

Diolch i'r Aelod am y cwestiwn hwnnw. Nodais fy nghynigion mewn perthynas â chydweithredu rhwng awdurdodau lleol yn y dyfodol ar 4 Hydref. Bydd y cynigion ar gyfer cydweithredu rhanbarthol gorfodol a systematig yn adeiladu ar y nifer o drefniadau cydweithredol sydd ar waith eisoes gan awdurdodau lleol ledled Cymru.

I thank the Member for that question. I set out my proposals for future collaboration between local authorities on 4 October. The proposals for mandatory and systematic regional collaboration will build on the many collaborative arrangements local authorities already have in place across Wales.

Llywydd, nid cyfrifoldeb y Weithrediaeth yw gwneud asesiad o fwriadau deddfwrfa, ond mae eich swyddogion yn parhau i gynnal trafodaethau â swyddogion Llywodraeth Cymru ynghylch y cynlluniau ar gyfer Senedd Clwyd.

Llywydd, it is not for the Executive to make an assessment of a legislature's intentions, but your officials continue to be in discussion with Welsh Government officials on the plans for Senedd Clwyd.
Diolch yn fawr i chi, Dirprwy Lywydd. Gaf i ddiolch i ddechrau am eiriau caredig Darren Millar?

Thank you very much, Deputy Presiding Officer. May I first of all thank Darren Millar for his kind words?
Thank you, Minister, for that response. Very quickly, however, I do appreciate what you're saying and that you're looking at these things, but you'll also appreciate that time is very, very short. So in terms of the work you're doing - making these assessments and looking at the impact - what's the timetable before we see action being taken?

Diolch i chi, Weinidog, am yr ateb. Yn sydyn iawn, serch hynny, dwi'n gwerthfawrogi'r hyn rydych chi'n ei ddweud a'ch bod chi'n edrych ar y pethau yma, ond byddwch chi hefyd yn gwerthfawrogi bod amser yn brin iawn, iawn. Felly, o ran y gwaith rydych chi'n ei wneud - yn gwneud yr asesiadau yma ac yn edrych ar yr impact - beth ydy'r amserlen cyn ein bod ni'n gweld gweithredu felly?
Fel y clywsom ni, ym mis Chwefror y llynedd, cafodd fy nghynnig yn cynnig bod y Senedd yn nodi cynnig ar gyfer Bil a fyddai'n 'gwneud darpariaeth i annog pobl i ddefnyddio iaith arwyddion Prydain (BSL) yng Nghymru, a gwella mynediad at addysg a gwasanaethau drwy gyfrwng BSL' ei basio yma gyda chefnogaeth drawsbleidiol, ni wnaeth yr un Aelod bleidleisio yn ei erbyn, a Gweinidogion Llywodraeth Cymru yn ymatal fel mater o drefn. Fel y dywedais bryd hynny,

As we've heard, in February last year, my motion proposing that the Senedd notes a proposal for a Bill that would 'make provision to encourage the use of British Sign Language (BSL) in Wales, and improve access to education and services in BSL' was passed here with cross-party support, no Member voting against, and Welsh Government Ministers routinely abstaining. As I then stated,
Rwy'n sicr yn ymwybodol o fater Centrica, ar ôl cael trafodaethau'n uniongyrchol gydag arweinwyr y GMB yn ei gylch. Ysgrifennodd fy nghyd-Aelod Ken Skates at Centrica yn ôl ym mis Awst pan oeddem yn trafod hyn ddiwethaf gyda'r undeb. Gadewch imi fod yn glir, Llywydd: nid oes esgus i unrhyw sefydliad neu gwmni ddefnyddio argyfwng y coronafeirws i erydu hawliau a breiniau ei weithlu. Ac ategaf yn fawr iawn y sylw olaf a wnaeth Huw Irranca-Davies; rwy'n credu y byddai'n ddoeth iawn i'r cwmni dynnu'r bygythiad yn ôl, i ailddechrau trafod ac i weithio gyda'r GMB i negodi cytundeb.

I certainly am aware of the Centrica issue, having had discussions directly with leaders of the GMB about it. My colleague Ken Skates wrote to Centrica back in August when we were last discussing this with the union. Let me be clear, Llywydd: there is no excuse for any organisation or company using the coronavirus crisis to erode the rights and the entitlements of its workforce. And I echo very much the final point that Huw Irranca-Davies made; I think the company would be very well advised to take the threat off the table, to get back around the table, and to work with the GMB to a negotiated deal.
Nawr, wrth inni gynllunio ar gyfer adnewyddu ein heconomi, mae cyfleoedd enfawr i gymunedau gymryd rhan yn y gwaith o benderfynu sut y gwneir hynny ac i awdurdodau lleol weithredu fel yr arweinwyr a'r hwyluswyr. Ceir enghreifftiau o hyn yn Lloegr, yn Preston, lle mae ganddynt strategaeth adeiladu cyfoeth uchelgeisiol. Pa strategaeth y mae'r Gweinidog yn ei rhagweld ar gyfer Cymru er mwyn harneisio budd caffael lleol, defnydd tir, asedau cymunedol, a'r amrywiaeth o sefydliadau angori sy'n bodoli ledled Cymru, megis cymdeithasau tai a chyrff y trydydd sector? Diolch.

Now, as we plan for our economic renewal, there are huge opportunities for communities to be engaged in what this looks like and for local authorities to act as the leaders and facilitators. There are examples of this in England, in Preston, where there is an ambitious wealth-building strategy. What strategy does the Minister envisage for Wales to harness the benefit of local procurement, land use, community assets, and the variety of anchor institutions that exist throughout Wales, such as housing associations and third sector bodies? Thank you.

Ac fe fydd yn rhaid i mi gofio hynny - mai arf yw'r byrllysg. Fe allai fod o ddefnydd ryw dro. [ Chwerthin.] Fe gymerwn ni seibiant nawr ar gyfer gwneud newidiadau yn y Siambr.

And I'll have to remember that - that the mace is a weapon. It may come in useful at some point. [ Laughter.] We'll now take a break for changes to be made in the Chamber.

Diolch i Adam Price am y cwestiynau hynny. Dwi wedi dweud yn barod, Llywydd, nad ydw i'n gallu gweld un ffordd ble mae Boris Johnson yn gallu aros yn ei swydd ar ôl beth mae'r llys wedi'i ddweud heddiw.

May I thank Adam Price for those questions? I have already said, Llywydd, that I cannot see any way in which Boris Johnson can remain in office following the judgment of the court today.
Thank you all very much. A number of Members have identified their interest in different areas. I will start, if I may. Could you summarise briefly why the Welsh Government decided to change its approach by not rolling out a single integrated early intervention, prevention and support grant from next year onwards, but instead establish a two-grant integrated approach, with Supporting People funding included as the largest element of the new housing support grant?

Iawn. Diolch o galon i chi. Mae nifer o Aelodau, wrth gwrs, wedi nodi eu diddordeb mewn gwahanol feysydd. Fe wnaf i ddechrau, os caf i. A allwch chi grynhoi yn fyr y rhesymeg tu ôl i benderfyniad Llywodraeth Cymru i newid ei dull gweithredu trwy benderfynu peidio, wedi'r cwbl, â chyflwyno un grant ymyrraeth gynnar, atal a chefnogi integredig o'r flwyddyn nesaf ymlaen, ond yn hytrach sefydlu dau grant wedi eu hintegreiddio, gyda chyllid Cefnogi Pobl yn cael ei gynnwys fel yr elfen fwyaf o'r grant cymorth tai newydd?

Diolch, Simon. This young person's life was lost in the most tragic of circumstances and I think the publication of the review will be a difficult time for his family. They and we would expect Powys to expedite the necessary improvements to ensure that the very best care and support is always provided.

Diolch, Simon. Cafodd bywyd y person ifanc hwn ei golli o dan yr amgylchiadau mwyaf trychinebus ac rwy'n credu y bydd cyhoeddi'r adolygiad yn amser anodd i'w deulu. Fel hwy, rydym yn disgwyl y bydd Powys yn cyflymu'r gwelliannau angenrheidiol er mwyn sicrhau bod y gofal a'r cymorth gorau'n cael eu darparu bob amser.
Dydyn ni ddim wedi gofyn am ymateb i'r pwynt hwnnw, ond gallwn ni ofyn am ymateb.

We haven't asked for a response to that point, but we can do so.
We acknowledge the issue raised in relation to costs associated with responsible pet ownership for those on low incomes. Officials regularly discuss this issue with our third sector partners, both to monitor the situation and see if more can be done to publicise the support they offer.

Rydym yn cydnabod y mater a godwyd mewn perthynas â chostau sy'n gysylltiedig â pherchnogaeth gyfrifol ar anifeiliaid anwes i'r rhai ar incwm isel. Mae swyddogion yn trafod y mater hwn yn rheolaidd gyda'n partneriaid yn y trydydd sector, er mwyn monitro'r sefyllfa a gweld a ellir gwneud mwy i roi cyhoeddusrwydd i'r cymorth y maent yn ei gynnig.
Roedd y fasged 'i mewn' ar y ddesg y mae Prif Weinidog y DU bellach yn cuddio oddi tani yn llawn i'r ymylon, ond yn hytrach na wynebu'r heriau economaidd gyda difrifoldeb, gwnaeth Truss ffafrio'r ffantasi o economeg o'r brig i lawr gyda thoriadau treth ar gyfer y cyfoethog. Mae hi wedi cael ei gorfodi i wyrdroi bron pob mesur, ond mae'r niwed i'r economi yma i aros. O ganlyniad uniongyrchol, fel rydym ni wedi clywed, mae fy etholwyr i'n wynebu biliau morgais yn codi'n sydyn, biliau ynni dirfawr o fis Ebrill a chyni pellach. Prif Weinidog, mae Llywodraeth Cymru wedi dweud na all amddiffyn pobl a gwasanaethau rhag holl rym gweithredoedd Llywodraeth y DU. Rwy'n deall hynny, ond hoffai nifer o fy etholwyr wybod pa gamau y bydd Llywodraeth Cymru yn eu cymryd i geisio eu diogelu dros y misoedd nesaf. Gan dybio y bydd naill ai Prif Weinidog y DU mewn enw'n unig neu'r Prif Weinidog go iawn, Jeremy Hunt, yn penderfynu cysylltu â chi yn y pen draw, pa neges fyddwch chi'n ei rhoi iddyn nhw, Prif Weinidog, ar ran pobl Cymru?

The in-tray on the desk under which the Prime Minister is now hiding was substantial, but rather than face the economic challenges with seriousness, Truss favoured this fantasy of trickle-down economics with tax cuts for the rich. She has been forced to reverse nearly every measure, but the damage to the economy is here to stay. As a direct result, as we've heard, my constituents face soaring mortgage bills, extreme energy bills from April and further austerity. Prif Weinidog, the Welsh Government has said that it can't protect people and services from the full force of the UK Government's actions. I understand that, but many of my constituents would like to know what action the Welsh Government will be taking to try to protect them over the coming months. Assuming that either the Prime Minister in name only or the real Prime Minister, Jeremy Hunt, get round to calling you eventually, what message will you be giving them, Prif Weinidog, on behalf of the people of Wales?
Sorry, can I just ask - ? Has the Government agreed to group this with question 6?

Mae'n ddrwg gennyf, a gaf fi ofyn - ? A yw'r Llywodraeth wedi cytuno i grwpio hwn gyda chwestiwn 6?

We welcome this afternoon's announcement by the steel trade unions that their members have voted in favour of Tata Steel's proposals to secure the future for its UK operations. This announcement is a significant step forward in securing a sustainable future for the UK businesses.

Rydym yn croesawu'r cyhoeddiad y prynhawn yma gan yr undebau llafur dur fod eu haelodau wedi pleidleisio o blaid cynigion Tata Steel i ddiogelu dyfodol ei weithfeydd yn y DU. Mae'r cyhoeddiad hwn yn gam pwysig ymlaen i sicrhau dyfodol cynaliadwy ar gyfer y busnesau yn y DU.

Thank you very much for that general overview, and, clearly, responding to the pandemic, as you've said, is part of that. You've referred to COVID-19, and I'll just as a question on that. There is no specific funding earmarked within the budget for COVID-19. So, how confident are you that there is sufficient capacity and sufficient flexibility within the budget to be able to respond to any new challenges with regard to COVID-19 that could face us over the coming year?

Diolch am y trosolwg cyffredinol yna, ac yn amlwg mae ymateb i'r pandemig, fel rydych chi wedi dweud, yn rhan ohono fo. Rydych chi wedi cyfeirio at COVID-19, ac fe wnaf i jest ofyn cwestiwn ar hynny. Does yna ddim arian penodol yn cael ei glustnodi o fewn y gyllideb ar gyfer COVID-19. Pa mor hyderus ydych chi fod yna, o fewn y gyllideb, ddigon o gapasiti a hefyd ddigon o hyblygrwydd i allu ymateb i unrhyw heriau newydd COVID-19 a allai ddod i'n hwynebu ni yn y flwyddyn nesaf?

Just to ask the question, I think you should provide more detail than 'ban zero-hours contracts'. What exactly do you mean and how would you legally defend that?

I ofyn y cwestiwn, rwy'n meddwl y dylech roi mwy o fanylion na 'gwahardd contractau dim oriau'. Beth yn union a olygwch a sut y byddech yn amddiffyn hynny'n gyfreithiol?
Diolch. A gaf i atgoffa'r Aelodau yn garedig mai datganiad 30 munud yw hwn, ac rydym ni ar bron ar 21 munud nawr. Simon Thomas.

Thank you. Can I just gently remind Members that it's a 30-minute statement, and we are on nearly 21 minutes. Simon Thomas.

Rydym yn cydnabod bod effaith COVID ar grwpiau amrywiol yng Nghymru wedi bod yn anghyfartal. Mae pobl hŷn ymhlith y rheini a byddwn yn fframio ein hymateb yng ngoleuni hynny er mwyn gallu sicrhau bod pobl hŷn ledled Cymru yn cael y gefnogaeth sydd ei hangen arnynt yn ein hymateb.

We recognise the impact on various groups in Wales has been unequal of the COVID experience. Older people are amongst those and we will frame our response in light of that to be able to make sure that older people across Wales get the support they need in our response.

Rwy'n gwerthfawrogi eich bod yn ad-dalu'r ymyriad. Diolch. Rydym ni, wrth gwrs, yn cydnabod na all Llywodraeth newid unrhyw beth; y Senedd sy'n rhaid gwneud hynny, nid y Llywodraeth. Nid oes gan Lywodraeth y DU unrhyw bwerau o gwbl.

I do appreciate you reciprocating the intervention. Thank you. We do, of course, recognise that Government can't change anything; it has to be Parliament, not the Government. The UK Government has no powers whatsoever.

Bydd yr Aelod yn gwybod bod arferion cyflogaeth annheg - mae hi wedi eu nodi nhw - yn ddrwg i unigolion. Dyna pam yr ydym ni'n cymryd camau ynghylch contractau dim oriau trwy ganllawiau, trwy gaffael, a thrwy ein hymgynghoriad ar reoliadau arfaethedig ar gyfer gofal cymdeithasol. Mae'n hynod bwysig, wrth gwrs, bod y proffesiwn gofalu yn cael ei werthfawrogi, yn hynod bwysig eu bod nhw'n cael eu gwobrwyo'n briodol, a dyna, wrth gwrs, y mae'r rheoliadau yn bwriadu ei wneud.

The Member will know that unfair employment practices - she's identified them - are bad for individuals. That's why we're taking action on zero-hours contracts through guidance, through procurement, and through our consultation on proposed regulations for social care. It's hugely important, of course, that the caring profession is valued, hugely important that they are rewarded appropriately, and that, of course, is what the regulations intend to do.

Diolch. Yn sicr, byddaf yn cymryd y cyfrifoldeb yn bersonol i sicrhau eich bod yn cael ateb i'ch cwestiwn ynghylch absenoldeb straen. Yn amlwg, mae Llywodraeth Cymru yn ymdrechu i ymateb i gwestiynau ysgrifenedig mor gyflym ag y gallwn ni, ond yn aml mae lefel y manylder sydd ei angen yn rhai o'r ceisiadau hynny yn eithaf dwys. Ond, os oes gan yr Aelodau broblem fel yr un a ddisgrifiwyd gennych chi am ddiffyg ymateb prydlon, rwyf i bob amser yn hapus i geisio symud pethau yn eu blaen.

Thank you. I'll certainly make it a personal responsibility to ensure that you do get a response to your question about stress leave. Obviously, Welsh Government does endeavour to respond to written questions as quickly as we possibly can, but often the level of detail required in some of those requests is quite in-depth. But, if Members do have a problem such as the one that you describe in not having a timely response, I'm always happy to try and move things along.
Galwaf ar Peredur Owen Griffiths nawr i ymateb i'r ddadl.

I call on Peredur Owen Griffiths now to reply to the debate.
John, you've had time, and we've got to keep moving on. We've got a lot of people who want to ask questions.

John, rydych chi wedi cael amser, ac mae'n rhaid inni barhau i symud ymlaen. Mae gennym lawer o bobl sydd am ofyn cwestiynau.
Wel, yr hyn rwyf i eisiau sicrhau yw ein bod ni'n dal yn atebol am sicrhau ein bod ni'n cyrraedd y targed. Dyna'r prif nod sydd gyda fi fel Gweinidog, ac mae cyfle gyda ni yn hyn o beth, rwy'n credu, bod portffolios yr iaith Gymraeg ac addysg wedi dod at ei gilydd.

Well, what I want to ensure is that we remain accountable for delivering that target. That's the main aim that I have as Minister, and we have an opportunity here in that the education and Welsh language portfolios have come together.
You're too kind - [ Interruption.] [ Laughter.]

Rydych yn rhy garedig - [ Torri ar draws.] [ Chwerthin.]
Well, I mentioned in my answer to Simon Thomas that I'm going out to the seafood expo in Brussels. I've given funding for that. I think it's very important that I personally go out there, to make sure everybody knows about our great Welsh seafood industry. We've also had the seafood strategy, which I helped launch with the industry about three or four months ago.

Wel, soniais yn fy ateb i Simon Thomas y byddaf yn mynychu'r expo bwyd môr ym Mrwsel. Rwyf wedi darparu cyllid ar gyfer hynny. Credaf ei bod yn bwysig iawn fy mod yn mynychu'n bersonol, er mwyn sicrhau bod pawb yn ymwybodol o'n diwydiant bwyd môr gwych yng Nghymru. Rydym hefyd wedi cael y strategaeth bwyd môr a helpais i'w lansio gyda'r diwydiant oddeutu tri neu bedwar mis yn ôl.

Yes, and I deplored the decision taken by HMRC in Porthmadog and other locations, including my own town some years ago. In the same way, certainly, I'm concerned about the withdrawal of commercial banks from many of our communities, and the need to ensure that, for example, the post office is then able to offer up the same kinds of services that the bank does. That depends, of course, on the post offices being there as well, which is why, of course, we had the post office development fund in place that helped so many communities to keep that service.

Ydw, ac rwy'n gresynu'n fawr y penderfyniad a wnaed gan Gyllid a Thollau EM ym Mhorthmadog a lleoliadau eraill, gan gynnwys fy nhref fy hun rai blynyddoedd yn ôl. Yn yr un modd, yn sicr, rwy'n pryderu am fanciau masnachol yn gadael nifer o'n cymunedau, a'r angen i sicrhau, er enghraifft, y gall swyddfa'r post wedyn gynnig yr un mathau o wasanaethau y mae'r banc yn eu cynnig. Mae hynny'n dibynnu, wrth gwrs, ar bresenoldeb y swyddfeydd post hefyd, a dyna pam, wrth gwrs, yr oedd gennym ni'r gronfa datblygu swyddfeydd post ar waith a helpodd gymaint o gymunedau i gadw'r gwasanaeth hwnnw.
I'm going to begin with own-initiative investigations, and I'll begin with a question, perhaps, for Dr Kate Chamberlain. In your evidence paper -

Rydw i'n mynd i ddechrau efo'r ymchwiliadau ar ei liwt ei hun, a chwestiwn i ddechrau, efallai, i Dr Kate Chamberlain. Yn eich papur tystiolaeth rydych chi'n sôn ei bod hi'n bwysig -
Good afternoon to Dr Hussain. Llywydd, in the six months following publication of the planned care recovery programme, long waits in the Welsh NHS have fallen by 23 per cent. That is the result of significant additional investment, expanded facilities, service reform and, most of all, the enormous effort of NHS staff themselves.

Prynhawn da Dr Hussain. Llywydd, yn y chwe mis ar ôl cyhoeddi'r rhaglen adfer ar gyfer gofal a gynlluniwyd, mae arosiadau hir yn GIG Cymru wedi gostwng 23 y cant. Mae hynny o ganlyniad i fuddsoddiad ychwanegol sylweddol, cyfleusterau estynedig, diwygio gwasanaethau ac, yn bennaf oll, ymdrech enfawr staff y GIG eu hunain.
Thank you, Llywydd. There's nothing that I can add to that, of course, I must say.

Diolch, Lywydd. Nid oes dim byd y gallaf i ei ychwanegu at hynny, wrth gwrs, mae'n rhaid imi ddweud.
Three million pounds of funding has been made available to towns throughout Wales following a study by the Centre For Towns. Merthyr Tydfil has been awarded £834,549 to provide a grant scheme for businesses, which will support with enhancements both internally and externally to aid business trading in response to the pandemic.

Mae £3 miliwn o gyllid ar gael i drefi ledled Cymru yn dilyn astudiaeth gan Centre for Towns. Dyfarnwyd £834,549 i Ferthyr Tudful i ddarparu cynllun grant i fusnesau, a fydd yn cefnogi gyda gwelliannau'n fewnol ac yn allanol i gynorthwyo masnach busnesau mewn ymateb i'r pandemig.
Wel, mae'n gynnar eto, dwi'n meddwl, i wybod os ydy'r cynlluniau presennol yn gweithio.

Well, it's early yet, I think, to know whether the current plans are working.
Yes, wait a minute, we're going to come to that now.

Ie, aros funud, rydym ni'n mynd i ddod i hynny nawr.
