English: I'd like to echo that I've been very much encouraged by what has been put forward in the consultations. There is a wide range of proposals, which, in my view, are going to have a genuine impact on our communities if they were to be implemented. I feel slightly frustrated about the speed of the process. I understand that consultation takes some time, but I would have liked for them to have commissioned that sooner. In terms of the pilot, I firmly agree with what Dyfrig mentioned earlier. I'm concerned that a pilot will put forward those soft solutions, rather than implementing what has been put forward in the consultation itself. Why do we need a pilot in the first instance? Well, for me, the reason to have a pilot would be to trial those things that would have a genuine impact and make a genuine difference in communities to keep them alive. In Dwyfor, for example, people could argue that the second homes issue is at its most intense. Gwynedd has the highest percentage of second homes, and Dwyfor - I'm not entirely sure of the figure, but I tried to do the sums - has around 40 per cent of the second homes throughout Gwynedd. So, even though it's a third of the area, there is a higher density there in terms of second homes, as compared to other places in Wales, it could be argued. and there's a high percentage of Welsh speakers there. So, the pilot should be an opportunity to trial measures that will make a real difference, as proposed in the different consultations. And that's what I hope will happen, rather than the soft steps of allocating funding. And the funding that has been allocated so far isn't anywhere near enough to conduct a pilot and make a genuine difference, in my view. Around £1 million has been earmarked for Dwyfor, as I understand it, and much more is needed to make a difference through different projects. But, rather than just making investment, planning restrictions should be put in place, as raised in consultations.
Welsh: Buaswn i'n licio ategu fy mod i wedi fy nghalonogi'n fawr efo'r hyn sy'n cael ei gynnig yn yr ymgynghoriadau. Mae yna ystod eang o bethau'n cael eu cynnig sydd, yn fy marn i, yn mynd i wneud gwahaniaeth gwirioneddol i'n cymunedau ni petaen nhw'n cael eu gweithredu. Dwi yn teimlo rhywsut yn rhwystredig oherwydd cyflymdra'r broses. Dwi'n deall bod ymgynghoriad yn cymryd amser, ond buaswn i wedi licio eu gweld nhw'n comisiynu hynny'n gynt, wrth gwrs. O ran y peilot, dwi'n cytuno'n fawr efo beth roedd Dyfrig wedi crybwyll yn gynt. Mae gen i'r un pryder y bydd peilot yn cynnig atebion meddal yn hytrach na gweithredu'r hyn sy'n cael ei gynnig yn yr ymgyngoriadau eu hunain. Mewn ffordd, pam ydyn ni eisiau peilot yn y lle cyntaf? Wel, beth oedd yn dod i fy mhen i oedd mai'r rheswm i gael peilot fuasai i dreialu pethau sy'n gwneud gwahaniaeth gwirioneddol i gymunedau a'u cadw nhw'n fyw, mewn ffordd. A dyna pam roeddwn i'n meddwl bod Dwyfor wedi cael ei bigo. Yn Nwyfor, mae pobl yn gallu dadlau bod y broblem tai haf efallai ar ei dwysaf. Yn ystadegol, mae gennych chi Gwynedd, sydd â'r nifer uchaf o dai haf, ac yn Nwyfor - dwi ddim yn hollol sicr o'r ffigwr, ond fe wnes i drio gwneud y syms - y mae rhyw 40 y cant o'r tai haf drwy Wynedd gyfan. Felly, o fewn tua threian o'r ardal, mae yna ddwysedd uchel o dai haf, efallai mwy nag unrhyw le arall yng Nghymru, o bosib fedrwch chi ddadlau hynny. A hefyd mae yna ganran uchel o siaradwyr Cymraeg. Felly, dylai'r peilot fod yn gyfle i dreialu mesurau sy'n gwneud gwahaniaeth go iawn, fel sy'n cael eu cynnig yn yr ymgynghoriadau. A dyna dwi'n gobeithio, yn hytrach na chamau meddal o roi arian. A dydy'r arian sydd wedi ei glustnodi hyd yma ddim hanner digon i allu cynnal peilot a gwneud gwahaniaeth o ddifrif, yn fy marn i. Rhyw £1 filiwn sydd wedi ei chlustnodi i Ddwyfor ei hun, dwi ar ddeall, a dylai hynny fod lawer yn fwy i allu gwneud gwahaniaeth drwy wahanol brosiectau. Ond yn hytrach na jest roi buddsoddiad, dylai bod cyfyngiadau ym maes cynllunio, fel sydd wedi ei grybwyll mewn ymgynghoriadau, yn cael eu rhoi mewn lle yn ogystal.
