English: Leader of the house, I'm sure you'll join with me in congratulating the many local councillors who've been elected across the length and breadth of Wales, but in particular the ones who have been elected in the Vale of Glamorgan, and in particular from the Conservatives, who now make us the biggest group on that particular council, and, hopefully, looking forward to an exciting five years in the Vale of Glamorgan. One of the issues that you - [Interruption.] One of the issues - . I hear the Member for Blaenau Gwent chuntering away there. I don't think he had a particularly good night on Thursday. One of the big issues, as you'll be aware as the constituency Member for the Vale of Glamorgan, was the Barry incinerator. This, time and time again, came up in the local elections on the doorstep in Barry, and there was widespread concern, in particular, around the need for an environmental impact assessment, which wasn't undertaken at the time - and that was allowed through by the council - and also the ability for Cardiff and Vale University Local Health Board to do a full assessment of the health implications. Given that Barry, as a town, has a higher than average national incidence of asthma within the community there, would you commit to issuing a statement on behalf of the Welsh Government, because I think you're undertaking the duties of the planning Minister at the moment, as to exactly what measures the Welsh Government is taking to address some of these concerns that are raised time and time again by constituents in the Vale of Glamorgan around the lack of an environmental impact assessment and, in particular, an assessment by Cardiff and Vale University Local Health Board into high incidences of asthma and the potential effect that an incinerator might have within the locality, and, above all, the role that Natural Resources Wales are now playing in assessing the licensing of the plant, where many people do call into question the ability and the robustness of that system to actually meet and address local concerns? I would further ask for a statement in relation to how the Welsh Government is going to engage with the new Vale council to deliver a Dinas Powys bypass. In fairness to the economy Minister, he has indicated in previous correspondence to myself last year that he was up for working with the council to make resources available to address the chronic traffic problems that exist in the Dinas Powys area that saw the removal of four Plaid Cymru councillors and their replacement by four Conservative councillors who will work night and day to make sure that these issues are addressed.
Welsh: Arweinydd y tŷ, rwy'n siwr y byddwch yn ymuno â mi wrth longyfarch y cynghorwyr lleol niferus sydd wedi eu hethol ar hyd a lled Cymru, yn enwedig y rhai sydd wedi eu hethol ym Mro Morgannwg, ac yn enwedig y Ceidwadwyr, sef y grŵp mwyaf yn y Cyngor penodol hwnnw bellach, ac sydd, gobeithio, yn edrych ymlaen at bum mlynedd cyffrous ym Mro Morgannwg. Un o'r materion y - [Torri ar draws.] Un o'r materion - . Rwy'n clywed yr Aelod dros Blaenau Gwent yn mwmian yn y fan yna. Nid wyf yn credu y cafodd noson arbennig o dda nos Iau. Un o'r materion mawr, fel y byddwch yn ymwybodol ohono fel yr Aelod etholaethol dros Fro Morgannwg, oedd llosgydd y Barri. Crybwyllwyd hyn, dro ar ôl tro, yn yr etholiadau lleol ar garreg y drws yn y Barri, ac roedd pryder eang, yn benodol, ynghylch yr angen am asesiad o'r effaith amgylcheddol, na chafodd ei gynnal ar y pryd - ac a ganiatawyd gan y cyngor - ac ynghylch gallu Bwrdd Iechyd Lleol Prifysgol Caerdydd a'r Fro i gynnal asesiad llawn o'r goblygiadau iechyd. O ystyried bod gan y Barri, fel tref, nifer uwch o achosion o asthma yn y gymuned yno na'r cyfartaledd cenedlaethol, a wnewch chi ymrwymo i gyhoeddi datganiad ar ran Llywodraeth Cymru, gan fy mod i'n credu eich bod yn cyflawni dyletswyddau'r Gweinidog dros gynllunio ar hyn o bryd, o ran pa gamau yn union y mae Llywodraeth Cymru yn eu cymryd i fynd i'r afael â rhai o'r pryderon hyn a godir dro ar ôl tro gan etholwyr ym Mro Morgannwg ynghylch diffyg asesiad o'r effaith amgylcheddol ac, yn benodol, asesiad gan Fwrdd Iechyd Lleol Prifysgol Caerdydd a'r Fro o'r nifer uchel o achosion o asthma a'r effaith bosibl y gallai llosgydd ei chael yn yr ardal. Ac, yn anad dim, hoffwn glywed pa ran y mae Cyfoeth Naturiol Cymru yn ei chwarae bellach wrth asesu trwyddedu'r safle, lle mae llawer o bobl yn amau gallu a chadernid y system honno i ateb ac ymdrin â phryderon lleol mewn gwirionedd? Gofynnaf hefyd am ddatganiad ar sut y mae Llywodraeth Cymru yn bwriadu ymgysylltu â'r cyngor newydd yn y Fro i gyflwyno ffordd osgoi Dinas Powys. Er tegwch i'r Gweinidog dros yr economi, mae wedi nodi mewn gohebiaeth flaenorol i mi y llynedd ei fod yn barod i weithio gyda'r cyngor i ddarparu adnoddau i ymdrin â'r problemau traffig difrifol sy'n bodoli yn ardal Dinas Powys, lle cafwyd gwared ar bedwar cynghorydd Plaid Cymru ac ethol pedwar cynghorydd Ceidwadol yn eu lle a fydd yn gweithio ddydd a nos i wneud yn siŵr bod y materion hyn yn cael sylw.
