English: Some years ago, it was decided that there should be an additional junction at Broughton off the A55 to serve Airbus and the newly built retail park. The new junction, in conjunction with the old one, results in the traffic being taken off the A55 at the top of Broughton village and then through the village. There's no way to travel west from the retail park at Broughton and Airbus without going through the village. The poor planning of that junction is now causing real congestion in and around Broughton. Looking along the A55, you'll see other examples of very, very poor planning: placing roundabouts at Penmaenmawr and other places was, as far as I'm concerned, just daft. It resulted in creating a point at which there's an increased risk of accidents and congestion, which is now necessitating their removal. The motion mentions that there's a lack of hard shoulder in places. I struggle to think, actually, of a stretch along the A55 that does actually have a proper hard shoulder. Most of it doesn't, meaning that broken-down vehicles have nowhere to go. The volume of wagons on the A55 essentially reduces the A55 to a single carriageway. The lack of forward planning at the Britannia bridge at Anglesey resulted in a dual carriageway either side of the bridge, but the bridge has a single carriageway, causing congestion on both sides. These and many other issues have been well known to the people of north Wales and those who visit there for many, many years. It's high time that we heard some solid plans and concrete proposals from the Welsh Government as to precisely what improvements are going to be made to the A55 and when they're going to be actually made. Thank you.
Welsh: Rai blynyddoedd yn ôl, penderfynwyd y dylid cael cyffordd ychwanegol ym Mrychdyn oddi ar yr A55 i wasanaethu Airbus a'r parc manwerthu oedd newydd ei adeiladu. Mae'r gyffordd newydd, ar y cyd â'r hen un, yn arwain at dynnu traffig oddi ar yr A55 ym mhen uchaf pentref Brychdyn ac yna drwy'r pentref. Nid oes ffordd o deithio i'r gorllewin o'r parc manwerthu ym Mrychdyn ac Airbus heb fynd drwy'r pentref. Mae cynllun gwael y gyffordd honno bellach yn achosi tagfeydd go iawn ym Mrychdyn a'r cylch. Wrth edrych ar hyd yr A55, fe welwch enghreifftiau eraill o gynllunio eithriadol o wael: roedd gosod cylchfannau ym Mhenmaenmawr a mannau eraill yn hurt yn fy marn i. Arweiniodd at greu pwynt lle mae mwy o risg o ddamweiniau a thagfeydd, sydd bellach yn golygu bod angen cael gwared arnynt. Mae'r cynnig yn crybwyll bod yna ddiffyg llain galed mewn mannau. Mewn gwirionedd, rwy'n ei chael hi'n anodd meddwl am ddarn o'r A55 sydd â llain galed briodol. Nid oes llain galed ar y rhan fwyaf ohoni, sy'n golygu bod cerbydau sy'n torri i lawr heb unrhyw le i fynd. Mae nifer y wagenni ar yr A55 yn ei gwneud yn ffordd unffrwd i bob pwrpas. Arweiniodd diffyg blaengynllunio ar bont Britannia ar Ynys Môn at ffordd ddeuol bob ochr i'r bont, er mai ffordd unffrwd sydd ar y bont, gan achosi tagfeydd ar y ddwy ochr. Mae'r rhain a llawer o faterion eraill wedi bod yn gyfarwydd i bobl gogledd Cymru a'r rhai sy'n ymweld â'r ardal ers blynyddoedd lawer. Mae'n hen bryd i ni glywed rhai cynlluniau cadarn a chynigion pendant gan Lywodraeth Cymru ynglŷn â pha welliannau'n union sy'n mynd i gael eu gwneud i'r A55 a pha bryd y cânt eu gwneud mewn gwirionedd. Diolch.
