English: Diolch, Llywydd. As you'll be aware, I did submit an emergency question on this issue, but clearly withdrew it as this statement was announced, and I'm grateful to the Welsh Government and the Deputy Minister for bringing forward today's statement. It's appreciated. I'm also grateful, Deputy Minister, that you made it clear in your statement as to the decision making around the closure of the Menai bridge and understanding who is responsible for what within that. As has already been mentioned here today, the immediate closure of the Menai bridge, which sees thousands of vehicles crossing per day, is really concerning, and I appreciate, Deputy Minister, your acknowledgement of the importance of this crossing to the island and to the mainland equally. I'll just raise a couple of points, Llywydd. I appreciate that time is very short, but you've already mentioned, Deputy Minister, the point around the contingency plans when high winds are likely to close Britannia bridge. I would ask that you share those contingency plans, if they're not already shared, as quickly as possible, so that businesses and locals know how that will work. I think that's a very important point. Secondly, looking at the longer term, the programme of work is going to take around 16 weeks to complete, and then only looking to reopen for vehicles up to 7.5 tonnes. I would be interested to know when you envisage vehicles heavier than 7.5 tonnes being able to cross the Menai bridge in the future, to create that wider capacity that's needed to cross on and off the island. And then thirdly, Deputy Minister, you alluded to this, and it was mentioned in the statement, the fact that this problem was highlighted initially in 2019, so clearly there has been a pattern of concern over a series of years and months. It's still not clear to me why, even though there has been a pattern of concern over a long time - we're looking at three years plus here - there was an immediate and sudden decision that had to be made without warning for locals and for businesses alike. So, I'd appreciate perhaps a bit more clarity as to why that pattern of concern wasn't properly considered. And very finally, Llywydd, just really a plea for regular and quality communication, please, to local residents and businesses in the area. Diolch yn fawr iawn.
Welsh: Diolch, Llywydd. Fel y gwyddoch chi, fe wnes i gyflwyno cwestiwn brys ar y mater hwn, ond yn amlwg fe wnes i ei dynnu'n ôl wrth i'r datganiad hwn gael ei gyhoeddi, ac rwy'n ddiolchgar i Lywodraeth Cymru a'r Dirprwy Weinidog am gyflwyno'r datganiad heddiw. Mae'n cael ei werthfawrogi. Rydw i hefyd yn ddiolchgar, Dirprwy Weinidog, eich bod chi wedi ei gwneud yn glir yn eich datganiad ynglŷn â'r penderfyniadau ynghylch cau pont Menai a deall pwy sy'n gyfrifol am beth o fewn hynny. Fel sydd eisoes wedi ei grybwyll yma heddiw, mae cau pont Menai yn syth, sy'n gweld miloedd o gerbydau yn croesi bob dydd, yn peri pryder gwirioneddol, ac rwy'n gwerthfawrogi, Dirprwy Weinidog, eich cydnabyddiaeth o bwysigrwydd y croesiad hwn i'r ynys ac i'r tir mawr fel ei gilydd. Rydw i am godi cwpwl o bwyntiau, Llywydd. Rwy'n gwerthfawrogi bod amser yn fyr iawn, ond rydych chi eisoes wedi sôn, Dirprwy Weinidog, am y pwynt ynghylch y cynlluniau wrth gefn pan fydd gwyntoedd cryfion yn debygol o gau pont Britannia. Byddwn yn gofyn i chi rannu'r cynlluniau wrth gefn hynny, os nad ydyn nhw eisoes wedi cael eu rhannu, cyn gynted â phosib, fel bod busnesau a phobl leol yn gwybod sut y bydd hynny'n gweithio. Rwy'n credu bod hynny'n bwynt pwysig iawn. Yn ail, o edrych ar y tymor hwy, mae'r rhaglen waith yn mynd i gymryd tua 16 wythnos i'w chwblhau, ac yna dim ond yn edrych i ailagor ar gyfer cerbydau hyd at 7.5 tunnell. Byddai'n ddiddorol cael gwybod pryd rydych chi'n rhagweld cerbydau trymach na 7.5 tunnell yn gallu croesi pont Menai yn y dyfodol, er mwyn creu'r capasiti ehangach yna sydd angen i groesi i'r ynys ac oddi arni. Ac yna'n drydydd, Dirprwy Weinidog, fe wnaethoch chi gyfeirio at hyn, a soniwyd amdano yn y datganiad, y ffaith i'r broblem hon gael ei hamlygu i ddechrau yn 2019, felly mae'n amlwg bod patrwm o bryder wedi bod dros gyfres o flynyddoedd a misoedd. Dydy hi dal ddim yn glir i mi pam, er bod patrwm o bryder wedi bod dros amser hir - rydyn ni'n edrych ar dair blynedd a mwy yma - bod penderfyniad uniongyrchol a sydyn y bu'n rhaid ei wneud heb rybudd i bobl leol ac i fusnesau fel ei gilydd. Felly, byddwn i'n gwerthfawrogi efallai ychydig mwy o eglurder pam nad chafodd y patrwm hwnnw o bryder ei ystyried yn iawn. Ac yn olaf, Llywydd, dim ond apêl ar gyfer cyfathrebu rheolaidd ac o safon, os gwelwch yn dda, i drigolion a busnesau lleol yn yr ardal. Diolch yn fawr iawn.
