English: Diolch, Presiding Officer. I'd like to thank all Members for taking part in this debate this afternoon. I think all Members, or many Members at least - particularly Vikki Howells and David Rowlands - focused their contributions on the recommendations that were not accepted by the Government. Oscar Asghar thanked past member Mark Isherwood for his work on the inquiry. I fully support that as well, but in the interests of fairness I should also like to thank other past members, including Lee Waters, for their contribution to our inquiry and our work as well. Of course, Lee Waters is now the Deputy Minister for Economy and Transport and I know that he will be working hard trying to persuade the Minister that our recommendations - in fact, his recommendations - that were not accepted should have indeed been accepted. And I should mention Adam Price as well for he was also a member of the committee during this time, and very much made mention of the app that the Minister referred to in the latter part of his contribution, as well as one of our recommendations. There was indeed some mocking of our photographic competition, as Rhun mentioned, but largely it was complimentary. And some of the mocking was indeed helpful mocking. Some constituents of my own sent me pictures and didn't submit them formally. I've one picture of somebody fishing in a pothole, sat there on their chair with their fishing rod disappearing into the hole in front of them. But, of course, our competition did create discussion and was particularly useful I think, as well. And I'd like to thank all those who did submit photographs and who shared their photographs with us in this inquiry. I'd also like to thank the Welsh Government trunk roads staff who asked us to share details of the worst holes that we received in case they weren't aware of them as well. Mend before we build was an issue that a number of Members mentioned during their contributions and I think that this is an important message for communities and to politicians that building more roads should indeed be a last resort rather than the first resort. The Minister in his response did refer to recommendation 4 regarding budgeting and longer term budgeting for local authorities and trunk road agencies. I do hear your comments. I know the Minister is sympathetic to what we were suggesting, although that recommendation wasn't accepted, and I do understand the points that he makes. But I do think, and I would reiterate again, that longer term planning and longer term budgeting allow better decision making and savings in the long term. But I, again, just hope your Deputy Minister will persuade you of that argument as time goes on.
Welsh: Diolch, Lywydd. Hoffwn ddiolch i'r holl Aelodau am gymryd rhan yn y ddadl hon y prynhawn yma. Credaf fod yr holl Aelodau, neu nifer o'r Aelodau o leiaf - yn enwedig Vikki Howells a David Rowlands - wedi canolbwyntio eu cyfraniadau ar yr argymhellion na chafodd eu derbyn gan y Llywodraeth. Diolchodd Oscar Asghar i'r cyn-aelod Mark Isherwood am ei waith ar yr ymchwiliad. Rwy'n ategu hynny'n llwyr hefyd, ond er tegwch, hoffwn ddiolch i gyn-aelodau eraill hefyd, gan gynnwys Lee Waters, am eu cyfraniad i'n hymchwiliad ac i'n gwaith yn ogystal. Wrth gwrs, Lee Waters bellach yw Dirprwy Weinidog yr Economi a Thrafnidiaeth a gwn y bydd yn gweithio'n galed i geisio perswadio'r Gweinidog y dylai ein hargymhellion - ei argymhellion ef yn wir - na chafodd eu derbyn fod wedi cael eu derbyn. A dylwn sôn am Adam Price yn ogystal gan ei fod yntau hefyd yn aelod o'r pwyllgor yn ystod yr amser hwn, a soniodd lawer am yr ap y cyfeiriodd y Gweinidog ato yn rhan olaf ei gyfraniad, yn ogystal ag un o'n hargymhellion. Cafwyd ychydig o wawdio ar ein cystadleuaeth ffotograffig, fel y crybwyllodd Rhun, ond i raddau helaeth roedd yr ymateb yn ganmoliaethus. Ac roedd peth o'r gwawd yn ddefnyddiol yn wir. Anfonodd rhai o fy etholwyr luniau ataf heb eu cyflwyno'n ffurfiol. Mae gennyf un llun o rywun yn pysgota mewn twll yn y ffordd, yn eistedd yno ar eu cadair gyda'u gwialen bysgota'n diflannu i'r twll o'u blaen. Ond wrth gwrs, fe wnaeth ein cystadleuaeth greu trafodaeth ac roedd hynny'n arbennig o ddefnyddiol yn fy marn i. A hoffwn ddiolch i bawb a wnaeth gyflwyno ffotograffau ac a rannodd eu lluniau gyda ni yn yr ymchwiliad hwn. Hoffwn ddiolch hefyd i staff cefnffyrdd Llywodraeth Cymru a ofynnodd inni rannu manylion am y tyllau gwaethaf a ddaeth i law rhag ofn nad oeddent yn ymwybodol ohonynt. Roedd atgyweirio cyn adeiladu yn fater y soniodd nifer o'r Aelodau yn ei gylch yn ystod eu cyfraniadau, a chredaf fod hon yn neges bwysig i gymunedau ac i wleidyddion, y dylai adeiladu rhagor o ffyrdd fod yn ddewis olaf yn hytrach na dewis cyntaf. Cyfeiriodd y Gweinidog yn ei ymateb at argymhelliad 4 mewn perthynas â chyllidebu a chyllidebu mwy hirdymor ar gyfer awdurdodau lleol ac asiantaethau cefnffyrdd. Rwy'n clywed eich sylwadau. Gwn fod y Gweinidog yn cydymdeimlo â'r hyn a awgrymwn, er na dderbyniwyd yr argymhelliad hwnnw, ac rwy'n deall y pwyntiau y mae'n ei wneud. Ond rwy'n credu, a hoffwn ailadrodd unwaith eto, fod cynllunio mwy hirdymor a chyllidebu mwy hirdymor yn caniatáu penderfyniadau ac arbedion gwell yn hirdymor. Ond unwaith eto, rwy'n gobeithio y bydd eich Dirprwy Weinidog yn eich perswadio ynglŷn â'r ddadl honno wrth i amser fynd yn ei flaen.
