Yes, I can. I mentioned earlier, in response to Bethan's questions, that the north Wales growth deal has a digital project at the heart of the vision for developing a stronger and more resilient economy in the north. I'm confident that, through the course of the challenge sessions that are to come, we will be able to ensure that that particular programme does reach all businesses across Wales and addresses the challenges that the Member has just identified.

Gallaf. Soniais yn gynharach, wrth ymateb i gwestiynau Bethan, fod gan fargen twf gogledd Cymru brosiect digidol sy'n ganolog i'r weledigaeth ar gyfer datblygu economi gryfach a chadarnach yn y gogledd. Drwy gydol y sesiynau her sydd i ddod, rwy'n hyderus y gallwn sicrhau bod y rhaglen benodol honno'n cyrraedd pob busnes ledled Cymru ac yn mynd i'r afael â'r heriau y mae'r Aelod newydd eu nodi.

Well, we've already started engaging with communities with regard to our longer term vision on the way to have resilient communities. My team have been talking to all the Communities First clusters and their team managers, and with local authorities. We've already started work with some organisations around Children First zones, and looking at what that looks like for making sure we get feedback from the communities, as opposed to directly down from organisations like ourselves. So, while the proposals may suggest 2018 in terms of timeline, actually, we've started that process already.

Wel, rydym eisoes wedi dechrau ymgysylltu â chymunedau mewn perthynas â'n gweledigaeth ar gyfer y tymor hwy ar y ffordd o gael cymunedau cryf. Mae fy nhîm wedi bod yn siarad â holl glystyrau Cymunedau yn Gyntaf a'u rheolwyr tîm, a chydag awdurdodau lleol. Rydym eisoes wedi dechrau gweithio gyda rhai sefydliadau ar barthau Rhoi Plant yn Gyntaf, ac rydym yn ystyried hynny er mwyn sicrhau ein bod yn cael adborth gan y gymuned, yn hytrach na'n uniongyrchol gan sefydliadau fel ni ein hunain. Felly, er bod y cynigion yn awgrymu 2018 o ran yr amserlen, mewn gwirionedd rydym wedi dechrau'r broses honno eisoes.

We're moving on this afternoon to the next item, which is a statement by the Minister for Health and Social Services on the approach to respiratory viruses. I call on the Minister to make her statement - Eluned Morgan.

Symudwn ymlaen y prynhawn yma i'r eitem nesaf, sef datganiad gan y Gweinidog Iechyd a Gwasanaethau Cymdeithasol ar ymdrin â feirysau anadlol. Galwaf ar y Gweinidog i wneud y datganiad - Eluned Morgan.

Everyone seems to be content. Thank you very much.

Mae pawb yn fodlon. Diolch yn fawr iawn ichi.
Llywydd, a permanent small business rate relief scheme will be implemented from 1 April 2018. Plans for the further development of non-domestic rates include reviewing the appeals system and tackling fraud and avoidance.

Lywydd, bydd cynllun rhyddhad ardrethi busnes bach parhaol yn cael ei weithredu o 1 Ebrill 2018. Mae cynlluniau ar gyfer datblygu ardrethi annomestig ymhellach yn cynnwys adolygu'r system apelio a mynd i'r afael â thwyll ac osgoi.
Thank you. Are there any further nominations? No. Does any Member object to the nomination? I therefore declare that Mick Antoniw is elected as Chair of the Constitutional and Legislative Affairs Committee, and may I wish him well in that work?

Diolch. A oes ragor o enwebiadau? Nac oes. A oes unrhyw Aelod yn gwrthwynebu'r enwebiad? Nac oes. Rwyf felly yn datgan bod Mick Antoniw wedi ei ethol yn Gadeirydd y Pwyllgor Materion Cyfansoddiadol a Deddfwriaethol, a phob dymuniad da yn y gwaith o'ch blaen.
We'll need to move on because of time. Workforce issues, Helen Mary Jones.

Mae'n amser symud ymlaen, achos mae amser yn cerdded ymlaen. Materion y gweithlu, Helen Mary Jones.
Of course, I recognise all the issues that are raised in that report, but I think the point you completely missed was the fact that a lot of these programmes require funding to do them. And we are extremely challenged in the way we are managing our budgets because of the challenge the UK Government has proposed on us. We are looking collectively at how we tackle poverty across the Cabinet Secretariat. We will continue to do that for the best interests of our children.

Wrth gwrs, rwy'n cydnabod yr holl faterion a nodwyd yn yr adroddiad hwnnw, ond rwy'n credu mai'r pwynt rydych wedi colli golwg arno'n llwyr oedd y ffaith fod angen cyllid i weithredu llawer o'r rhaglenni hyn. Ac rydym yn wynebu heriau eithriadol yn y ffordd rydym yn rheoli ein cyllidebau oherwydd yr her y mae Llywodraeth y DU wedi ei gosod i ni. Rydym yn edrych gyda'n gilydd ar sut rydym yn trechu tlodi ar draws Ysgrifenyddiaeth y Cabinet. Byddwn yn parhau i wneud hynny er lles gorau ein plant.

Thank you. I assume the process is still the same for Members to be able to give that evidence, but I will check with the Minister for Climate Change in relation to that.

Diolch. Rwy'n cymryd bod y broses yn dal yr un fath i Aelodau allu rhoi'r dystiolaeth honno, ond fe wnaf gadarnhau hynny gyda'r Gweinidog Newid Hinsawdd.

You are partly correct, but I would actually advise you to look at the original piece that Martin Shipton wrote, because I didn't solely blame ethnic minorities; I also blamed students as well.

Rydych yn rhannol gywir, ond byddwn yn eich cynghori i edrych ar y darn gwreiddiol a ysgrifennodd Martin Shipton, oherwydd doeddwn i ddim yn beio lleiafrifoedd ethnig yn unig; roeddwn i'n beio myfyrwyr hefyd.

Moving on, therefore, to constitutional matters. We've been discussing in this committee - and, of course, the Chair in his previous post has talked about this - the need to make legislation more open and easier to understand for the public, and to bring things together, and to consolidate matters. Of course, we're talking here about an opportunity, perhaps, to do that, in looking forward. So, why has the Welsh Government not taken this opportunity to draft consolidating legislation in this area?

Symudaf ymlaen, felly, at faterion cyfansoddiadol. Rŷm ni wedi bod yn trafod yn y pwyllgor hwn - ac, wrth gwrs, mae'r Cadeirydd yn ei swydd o'r blaen wedi sôn hefyd am hyn - am yr angen inni wneud deddfwriaeth yn fwy agored ac yn haws i'r cyhoedd ei deall, ac i ddod â phethau at ei gilydd ac i gydgrynhoi, felly. Wrth gwrs, rŷm ni'n sôn yn fan hyn am gyfle efallai i wneud y fath y beth, o edrych ymlaen. So, pam nad yw Llywodraeth Cymru wedi manteisio ar y cyfle yma i ddrafftio deddfwriaeth gydgrynhoi yn y maes yma?

Mark Isherwood. You need to be unmuted, Mark Isherwood, before you start.

Mark Isherwood. Mae angen agor eich meic, Mark Isherwood, cyn i chi ddechrau.
Thank you. I should have probably mentioned in my opening answer to Llyr that we've had 12,000 responses to 'Brexit and our land'. So, we are currently analysing the responses and we'll have a more detailed consultation again in the spring, and, obviously, it will determine our policy. But I think there is a real opportunity around fruit and vegetable production, probably for the first time. We'll be able to look at schemes that can increase market potential, that can drive improvements in productivity, diversification. So, I think it's an area where we'll certainly want to support farmers to be able to diversify into areas such as horticulture or agroforestry.

Diolch. Dylwn fod wedi crybwyll yn fy ateb agoriadol i Llyr ein bod wedi cael 12,000 o ymatebion i 'Brexit a'n tir'. Felly, rydym wrthi'n dadansoddi'r ymatebion ar hyn o bryd a bydd gennym ymgynghoriad manylach eto yn y gwanwyn, ac yn amlwg, bydd yn pennu ein polisi. Ond rwy'n credu bod yna gyfle go iawn yn codi o gynhyrchu ffrwythau a llysiau, am y tro cyntaf mae'n debyg. Byddwn yn gallu edrych ar gynlluniau a all gynyddu potensial y farchnad, a all yrru gwelliannau mewn cynhyrchiant, arallgyfeirio. Felly, rwy'n credu ei fod yn faes lle byddwn yn sicr yn awyddus i gynorthwyo ffermwyr i allu arallgyfeirio i feysydd fel garddwriaeth neu amaeth-goedwigaeth.
Anyway, yn symud ymlaen, eitem 2 ar yr agenda, y diwydiant cerddoriaeth yng Nghymru. A heddiw dŷn ni'n croesawu UK Music ac Undeb y Cerddorion. Ac mae gyda lot o dystion y bore yma: Tom Kiehl, dirprwy brif swyddog gweithredol a chyfarwyddwr materion cyhoeddus, UK Music; Dr Sam Murray, swyddog ymchwil a pholisi, UK Music; wedyn Andy Warnock, sef trefnydd rhanbarthol, Cymru a de-orllewin Lloegr, Undeb y Cerddorion; ac wedyn Phil Kear, ysgrifennydd cyffredinol cynorthwyol, Undeb y Cerddorion. Lot o deitlau pwysig yna. Diolch i chi am ddod i mewn atom heddiw. Fel arfer - os nad ydych chi'n deall sut dŷn ni'n gweithredu - mae gyda ni gwestiynau ar sail themâu gwahanol gan Aelodau Cynulliad, a byddwn ni'n mynd ati i ofyn y cwestiynau. A does dim angen i chi oll ateb y cwestiynau, achos awr sydd gennym, felly plîs meddyliwch am hynny cyn i chi ateb. Felly y cwestiwn cyntaf sydd gen i, jest yn fras: beth dŷch chi'n credu yw'r hinsawdd ar hyn o bryd o ran yr hyn sydd yn digwydd o ran cerddoriaeth fyw? Ydy e'n iach, oes yna bethau wedi newid er gwaeth - beth yw'ch barn chi?

In any case, moving on, item 2 on the agenda, the music industry in Wales. And today we welcome UK Music and the Musicians' Union. And we have a lot of witnesses this morning: Tom Kiehl, deputy CEO and director of public affairs, UK Music; Dr Sam Murray, research and policy officer, UK Music; then Andy Warnock, regional organiser, Wales and south-west England, Musicians' Union; and Phil Kear, assistant general secretary, Musicians' Union. Many important titles there. Thank you for joining us this morning. As usual - if you don't understand how we operate here - we usually have questions based on different themes from Assembly Members, and then we will ask those questions. And you don't all have to answer the questions, because we only have an hour, so please think about that before you respond. So, the first question that I have, just very broadly speaking: what do you think is the climate at present, in terms of what's happening in terms of live music? Is it healthy, have things changed for the worse - what's your opinion on that?
Diolch, Cadeirydd. Bore da, Cwnsler Cyffredinol. Dwi wedi clywed beth dŷch chi wedi'i ddweud eisoes ynglŷn â safonau, ond mae'n wir i ddweud bod y Papur Gwyn yma ar y farchnad mewnol yn amlinellu y bydd safonau uchel yn cael eu cynnal ar gyfer nwyddau a gwasanaethau. Ydych chi'n cytuno y byddai'r Bil yn sicrhau safonau uchel?

Thank you, Chair, and good morning, Counsel General. I've listened to your comments on standards, but it's true to say that the internal market White Paper expressed that high standards would be maintained for goods and services. Do you agree that the Bill would secure those high standards?

Nid wyf i'n anghytuno â'r aelod. Mae tai gwarchod, fel y dywed, yn ddull sydd wedi'i hen sefydlu o ymdrin â thai ar gyfer pobl hŷn, ond mae'n un o gyfres o ymyraethau a llety sy'n bosibl. Un o ddibenion gwneud y gwaith ymchwil yw i wneud yn union hynny. Ac, mewn gwirionedd, yn fwy cyffredinol yn y Llywodraeth, rydym ni'n edrych yn gyffredinol ar yr hyn y gall ein cyfresi data ei ddweud wrthym ni o ran eu defnyddio ar gyfer cynllunio gwasanaethau yn well, ac mae hynny'n sicr yn rhan o'r ymagwedd wrth symud ymlaen.

I don't disagree with the Member. Sheltered housing, as he says, is a well-established approach to older people's housing, but it is one of a suite of interventions and accommodations that are possible. One of the purposes of doing the research is to do just that. And, actually, more generally in the Government, we are looking across the piece at what our data sets are able to tell us in terms of using them for better service planning, and that is very much a part of the approach going forward.
Ac maen nhw'n gwybod ein bod ni'n eu monitro nhw. Mae hynny'n bwysig.

And they know we're monitoring them. That's important.
John, Carwyn Jones wants to come in quickly with a supplementary, if that's okay.

John, mae Carwyn Jones eisiau dod i mewn yn gloi gyda chwestiwn atodol, os yw hwnna'n iawn.
Wel, dwi'n meddwl bod yna gwestiwn o ran technoleg inni i gyd. Fel dŷn ni'n gweld y bore yma, mae democratiaeth yn dibynnu arno fo, mae gwasanaethau i'r cyhoedd yn gyfan gwbl yn dibynnu arno fo fwyfwy, ac, wrth gwrs, mae hynny'n golygu, os ydy rhywun mewn sefyllfa fregus a does ganddyn nhw ddim Wi-Fi neu broadband, mae hwnna'n mynd i wneud pethau'n waeth iddyn nhw. Roedden ni'n meddwl bod yna gymaint yn gallu gwella o safbwynt cyfathrebu yn gyffredinol, ac mae hwnna'n dod o dechnoleg, i sicrhau bod yna easy read ar gael a bod pobl yn gallu cyfathrebu yn y ffordd fwyaf effeithiol gyda'u cleientiaid.

Well, I think there are questions around technology for us all. As we've seen this morning, democracy depends on it, public services are becoming increasingly reliant on technology, and, of course, that means that if somebody is vulnerable and they don't have Wi-Fi or don't have broadband, then that's going to make things worse for them. We thought that so much could be improved in terms of communications in general, and that includes technology, to ensure that there is easy read available and that people can communicate in the most effective way with their clients.
Rwy'n dod ato. Weinidog, diolch. Sut, felly, y bydd cymunedau ac ysgolion Islwyn yn elwa yn y dyfodol o'r rhaglen arloesol hon sy'n werth £3.7 biliwn, a beth y teimlwch chi yw eich gwaddol?

I'm coming to it. Minister, thank you. How will, then, Islwyn communities and schools benefit from this innovative £3.7 billion programme, going forward, and what do you feel is your legacy?
Yes. However, if we are to tackle these issues then we must focus on long-term outcomes, rather than short-term inputs, and empowering individuals and communities to co-design local services that meet their needs. Thanks to Plaid Cymru for your debate today.

Ydw. Fodd bynnag, os ydym am fynd i'r afael â'r materion hyn, rhaid inni ganolbwyntio ar ganlyniadau hirdymor, yn hytrach na mewnbynnau tymor byr, a grymuso unigolion a chymunedau i gyd-gynllunio gwasanaethau lleol sy'n diwallu eu hanghenion. Diolch i Blaid Cymru am eich dadl heddiw.
Tybed a allech chi egluro: a yw Llywodraeth y DU yn gwneud asesiad o'r effaith ar hawliau plant pan fydd yn ystyried ei chyllideb?

I wonder if you could just clarify: does the UK Government do a children's rights impact assessment when it's looking at its budget?
As well as supporting this White Paper today, does the Member agree that Members here in this Chamber should also support Plaid Cymru's amendment in order to show that we are determined enough here about the importance of making sure that Wales's voice is heard and respected that we say that we cannot support article 50 now until we have the security and even the framework that we need, and that's a duty on us to people, whichever way they voted in the referendum?

Yn ogystal â chefnogi'r Papur Gwyn hwn heddiw, a yw'r Aelod yn cytuno y dylai Aelodau yma yn y Siambr hon hefyd gefnogi gwelliant Plaid Cymru er mwyn dangos ein bod yn ddigon penderfynol yma am bwysigrwydd sicrhau bod llais Cymru yn cael ei glywed a'i barchu, ein bod yn dweud na allwn gefnogi erthygl 50 yn awr hyd nes y byddwn yn cael y diogelwch a hyd yn oed y fframwaith sydd eu hangen arnom, ac mae honno'n dyletswydd arnom i bobl, pa bynnag ffordd y gwnaethant bleidleisio yn y refferendwm?
Felly, mae'r £2 filiwn yna yn cael ei ddefnyddio yn rhannol ar gyfer y dair swydd yma - marchnata. Ac mae hwn yn farchnata a hybu cyffredinol, ddim yn ymwneud â'r safonau - mae o'n waith hyrwyddo marchnata cyffredinol ynglŷn â manteision addysg ddwyieithog, er enghraifft.

Therefore, that £2 million is being used in part for those three posts. And this is promotion and marketing on a general level, nothing to do with the standards - it's promotional and marketing work in general, about the advantages, for example, of a bilingual education.

Symudwn ymlaen at eitem 3, sef y cwestiynau i Gomisiwn y Senedd. Bydd cwestiwn 1 y prynhawn yma'n cael ei ateb gan Joyce Watson - [ Torri ar draws.]

We move on to item 3, which is questions to the Senedd Commission. Question 1 this afternoon will be answered by Joyce Watson - [ Interruption.]

Mae'n gyfreithiol. Mae'n fwlch yn y gyfraith.

It's legal. It's a legal loophole.
Saith deg pedwar y cant. Pan fydd yn wynebu problem hirsefydlog, Prif Weinidog, mae'n ymddangos mai ymateb eich Llywodraeth yw newid y rheolau a thrin y data neu hawlio nad oedd pawb wir angen y gwasanaeth. Nawr, ceir nifer o enghreifftiau eraill lle, yn hytrach na gwella gwasanaethau, yr ydych chi wedi newid y rheolau. Digwyddodd hynny â'r gwasanaeth ambiwlans, nifer y meddygon teulu llawn amser yn y GIG, a newidiwyd y targedau canser yr wythnos diwethaf, ond nid ydym ni'n gwybod i beth eto. Ac eto rydych chi'n dal i wrthod galwad Plaid Cymru am darged diagnosis 28 diwrnod a bennwyd gan y tasglu canser annibynnol. Onid yw'n bryd i ni gael gwared ar allu eich Llywodraeth i osgoi craffu trwy newid y rheolau? Ac onid yw'n bryd i Gymru sefydlu corff annibynnol ar gyfer gosod targedau a chyhoeddi'r data yn erbyn y targedau hynny? Beth fydd ei angen, Prif Weinidog, i amseroedd aros yn CAMHS gael eu lleihau fel bod plant yn cael y driniaeth sydd ei hangen arnynt?

Seventy-four per cent. When confronted by a long-standing problem, First Minister, it looks like the response of your Government is to move the goalposts and to manipulate the data or to claim that not everyone really needed the service. Now, there are several other examples where, rather than improve services, you've moved the goalposts. It happened with the ambulance service, the number of full-time GPs in the NHS, and last week cancer targets were changed but we don't yet know what to. Yet you still reject Plaid Cymru's call for a 28-day diagnosis target set by the independent cancer task force. Isn't it time we removed your Government's ability to avoid scrutiny by moving the goalposts? And isn't it time that Wales established an independent body for setting targets and publishing the data against those targets? What will it take, First Minister, for waiting times in CAMHS to be reduced so that children get the treatment that they need?
Cyfieithwch i'r Gymraeg:

You're still in the black.

Rydych yn dal i fod yn y du.
I agree, because, sadly, as you know, Wales still has higher child poverty than Scotland, Northern Ireland and all but two of the nine English regions. At least we've pulled ahead of two of those regions - I think London and the East Midlands. But, last week, the royal college of paediatricians said that poverty was the biggest threat to children's health in Wales. I welcome the news, given your previous comments, that your officials have now met the co-production network for Wales, re-named All in this Together, and I even heard you yesterday refer positively to co-production. How do you respond to the statement from the Well North Wales programme, with which you might be familiar, that the more deprived communities of north Wales have around a 25 per cent higher rate of emergency admission than the more affluent communities, and that there is, therefore, a requirement to tackle issues around deprivation and poverty at a local community level by meeting the principles of prudent health, particularly around co-production?

Rwy'n cytuno, oherwydd, yn anffodus, fel y gwyddoch, mae gan Gymru dlodi plant gwaeth na'r Alban, Gogledd Iwerddon a phob un ond dau o'r naw rhanbarth yn Lloegr. Rydym o leiaf wedi codi'n uwch na dau o'r rhanbarthau - Llundain a Dwyrain Canolbarth Lloegr rwy'n credu. Ond yr wythnos diwethaf, dywedodd coleg brenhinol y pediatregwyr mai tlodi oedd y bygythiad mwyaf i iechyd plant yng Nghymru. O ystyried eich sylwadau blaenorol, rwy'n croesawu'r newyddion fod eich swyddogion bellach wedi cyfarfod â rhwydwaith cydgynhyrchu Cymru, a ailenwyd yn Mae Pawb yn Rhan o Hyn, a ddoe, fe'ch clywais hyd yn oed yn cyfeirio'n gadarnhaol at gydgynhyrchu. Sut yr ymatebwch i'r datganiad gan y rhaglen Gogledd Cymru Iach, y byddwch yn gyfarwydd â hi o bosibl, fod gan gymunedau mwy difreintiedig gogledd Cymru gyfradd oddeutu 25 y cant yn uwch o dderbyniadau argyfwng na'r cymunedau mwy cefnog, a bod angen mynd i'r afael, felly, â materion yn ymwneud ag amddifadedd a thlodi ar lefel y gymuned leol, drwy gyflawni egwyddorion iechyd darbodus, yn enwedig mewn perthynas â chydgynhyrchu?

Improvements need to be made.

Mae angen gwelliannau.

We now have questions from party leaders. The leader of Plaid Cymru, Adam Price.

Cwestiynau nawr gan arweinwyr y pleidiau. Arweinydd Plaid Cymru, Adam Price.
Llywydd, our transforming towns programme in north Wales is focused on supporting the vibrancy of our town centres, making them fit for the twenty-first century, enabling job creation and improving community facilities. Working closely with local authority partners, projects worth over £39 million are being delivered over the period between 2018 and 2021.

Llywydd, mae ein rhaglen trawsnewid trefi yn y gogledd yn canolbwyntio ar gefnogi bywiogrwydd canol ein trefi, gan eu gwneud nhw'n addas ar gyfer yr unfed ganrif ar hugain, gan ganiatáu i swyddi gael eu creu a gwella cyfleusterau cymunedol. Gan weithio yn agos gyda phartneriaid awdurdodau lleol, mae prosiectau gwerth dros £39 miliwn yn cael eu cyflawni dros y cyfnod rhwng 2018 a 2021.
Oherwydd dyna sut mae codi gwastad yr economi, Gweinidog. A ydych chi'n cytuno?

Because that's how you level up the economy, Minister. Do you agree?
Thank you. We have to move on. We have other themes to explore. If we could have succinct questions and answers, that would be excellent. Rhianon.

Diolch. Mae'n rhaid i ni symud ymlaen. Mae gennym ni themâu gwahanol i'w dilyn. Os gallwn gael cwestiynau mwy bras ac atebion mwy bras, byddai hynny'n grêt. Rhianon.
Llywydd, nodir y camau gweithredu hyn yn y cynllun cyflawni ar gyfer canser yng Nghymru. Maen nhw'n cynnwys pwyslais ar ganfod yn gynnar a chyflwyno un llwybr canser. Drwy wneud hynny, gallwn barhau i wella cyfraddau goroesi canser yng Nghymru.

Llywydd, these actions are set out in the cancer delivery plan for Wales. They include a focus on early detection and the introduction of a single cancer pathway. In that way, we can continue to improve cancer survival rates in Wales.
Na, achos ar y funud mae'r awdurdodau lleol i'r asgwrn. Mae'r ysgolion i'r asgwrn hefyd. Mae defnyddio'r gair 'argyfwng' - nid yw o'n amhriodol.

No, because at the moment local authorities are being cut to the bone, as well as schools. To use the word 'crisis' wouldn't be inappropriate.
Thank you, leader of the house. Newport's road network is undeniably under strain. Any incident or heavy congestion on the M4 has a significant effect, not just on the main artery for Wales, but a severe knock-on effect on local roads. It also causes traffic that's passing through the city on the M4, like heavy goods vehicles and others, to spill out onto Newport's roads. Next week, the Severn bridge tolls will finally be lifted. Without any mitigation, this will put an additional pressure on the bottleneck at the Brynglas tunnels. Already poor air quality due to idling traffic will only get worse. With bus companies finding it hard to cope during heavy congestion and current disruption on trains, local people have very few alternatives. What preparation is being made to help alleviate congestion on an already struggling road network following the abolishment of the tolls?

Diolch, arweinydd y tŷ. Ni ellir gwadu bod rhwydwaith ffyrdd Casnewydd o dan straen. Mae unrhyw ddigwyddiad neu dagfeydd trwm ar yr M4 yn cael effaith sylweddol, nid yn unig ar y brif ffordd i Gymru, ond sgil-effaith ddifrifol ar ffyrdd lleol. Mae hefyd yn achosi i draffig sy'n teithio drwy'r ddinas ar yr M4, fel cerbydau nwyddau trwm ac eraill, i orlifo allan i ffyrdd Casnewydd. Yr wythnos nesaf, bydd tollau pontydd Hafren, yn cael eu diddymu o'r diwedd. Heb unrhyw gamau lliniaru, bydd hyn yn rhoi pwysau ychwanegol ar y dagfa yn nhwnelau Bryn-glas. Bydd ansawdd aer sydd eisoes yn wael oherwydd traffig llonydd ddim ond yn gwaethygu. Gyda chwmnïau bysiau yn ei chael yn anodd ymdopi yn ystod tagfeydd trwm a'r tarfu presennol ar y trenau, prin iawn yw'r dewisiadau eraill i bobl leol. Pa waith paratoi sy'n cael ei wneud i helpu i leddfu tagfeydd ar rwydwaith ffyrdd sydd eisoes mewn trafferthion ar ôl diddymu'r tollau?
