English: Thank you. I can't say I disagree with anything that the speakers have said so far and I think there is a huge measure of agreement on the emergency that faces us and the action needed. So, I hope that the Minister will in her response tell us why she thinks there are only 1,400 people in Wales dying of air pollution when the British Lung Foundation says it's 2,000, because that's quite a significant difference. I'm going to speak about the situation in Cardiff, as I'm a Cardiff representative on my feet, and Cardiff has air pollution equivalent to or worse than the air pollution in Manchester and Birmingham and that is a pretty damning statistic given that Birmingham and Manchester are much larger conurbations. So, we have a really serious problem here in Cardiff, and we can see why, because we know that four in five people commute into Cardiff by car and only 8 per cent were made on foot and a mere 2 per cent by bike. So, there's a massive culture change and behaviour change that needs to happen. One of the most polluted areas in my constituency is Newport Road, which both contains the Cardiff Royal Infirmary - ex-hospital, now enlarged health centre - but which is bang next door to a primary school, which has absolutely ghastly levels of air pollution because of the number of commuters going past the door in the morning. So, they've introduced a green screen, an artificial green tree on the fence to try and protect their playground from toxic fumes, and it's a good idea - it does, indeed, according to pilots elsewhere, reduce the amount of pollution by about 20 per cent, but, clearly, that is not sufficient in a highly polluted area. I would like to see the closure of that road but I'm told that, already, the traffic going on the alternative route is working at 106 per cent of capacity. So, those sort of localised solutions aren't sufficient. We have to reduce the amount of traffic being used for commuting both for school journeys and for people going to work overall, and that means we obviously need a better public transport system, but we also need to completely change the way we think about how our children get to school. We need to have zero tolerance of these parents who are still insisting on taking their child straight to the school gates, which is both bad for the child and bad for the whole community. Last week, I went with the cabinet member for the environment and transport for Cardiff Council on a bicycle ride from Llanishen High School to Pentwyn, from where a lot of students from my constituency are travelling to Llanishen High School. It's nearly 3 miles and the cost of the school transport is a huge barrier to many young people who are simply not turning up in school because they can't afford the bus fare by the end of the week, even though they are eligible for free school meals. That is a desperate situation and we need to ensure that these pupils have alternative modes of transport, and if we can give them a bicycle purchase scheme, there are routes already available, with one or two pinch points that need addressing, to enable them to get to school quite easily - they are aged 11 and above - without having to resort to this expensive school transport. So, that's one thing. There are electric buses going to be coming into Cardiff because they've been successful in getting Department for Transport money, and that's going to go - . Four of these bus routes on Newport Road are going to be cleaned up as a result. But we really do need to see the sort of clean air zones that are going to be introduced into Birmingham, and are promised in Manchester as well, to ensure our capital city actually feels like a capital city rather than a place where the most deprived population is having to live in areas of huge pollution. I want to just remind members of the Conservative Party that the lack of electrification of the main line to Swansea is also a huge contributor to the ongoing pollution in Cardiff, and that is because the bi-mode transport means that once the train is either heading towards Swansea or coming back from Swansea, they're belching out diesel fumes instead of much cleaner electric. So, we absolutely need to see a massive change. And the other big change we need to see is e-bikes, which many of us tried out yesterday when they were brought for us to try out. This is a massive opportunity to switch people not from push bikes but from cars onto e-bikes because they enable the less able, physically, to use a bicycle, they enable you to go up steep hills, as I have in my constituency, and they also enable you to get heavy shopping home without struggling. So, I think e-bikes are one of the ways that we can really promote a different way of getting around our city. But we also have to think of things like school exclusion zones to stop these people from doing the wrong thing and cluttering up the traffic outside of school that endangers all pupils.
Welsh: Diolch. Ni allaf ddweud fy mod yn anghytuno â dim y mae'r siaradwyr wedi'i ddweud hyd yn hyn ac rwy'n credu bod llawer iawn o gytundeb ynglŷn â'r argyfwng sy'n ein hwynebu a'r camau gweithredu sydd eu hangen. Felly, gobeithiaf y bydd y Gweinidog, yn ei hymateb, yn dweud wrthym pam y mae'n credu mai dim ond 1,400 o bobl yng Nghymru sy'n marw o lygredd aer pan fo Sefydliad Prydeinig yr Ysgyfaint yn dweud ei fod yn 2,000, oherwydd mae hwnnw'n wahaniaeth eithaf sylweddol. Rwy'n mynd i siarad am y sefyllfa yng Nghaerdydd, gan fy mod i'n gynrychiolydd o Gaerdydd, ac mae gan Gaerdydd lygredd aer sy'n cyfateb i, neu'n waeth na'r llygredd aer ym Manceinion a Birmingham ac mae hwnnw'n ystadegyn eithaf damniol o ystyried bod Birmingham a Manceinion yn gytrefi llawer iawn mwy o faint. Felly, mae gennym broblem wirioneddol ddifrifol yma yng Nghaerdydd, a gallwn weld pam, gan ein bod yn gwybod bod pedwar o bob pump o bobl yn cymudo i Gaerdydd mewn car a dim ond 8 y cant sy'n cerdded a 2 y cant yn unig sy'n beicio. Felly, mae angen gweld newid mawr yn y diwylliant a newid ymddygiad. Un o'r ardaloedd mwyaf llygredig yn fy etholaeth i yw Ffordd Casnewydd, sy'n cynnwys Ysbyty Brenhinol Caerdydd - cyn-ysbyty, canolfan iechyd estynedig bellach - ond sydd drws nesaf i ysgol gynradd, sydd â lefelau hollol erchyll o lygredd aer oherwydd nifer y cymudwyr sy'n mynd heibio'r drws yn y bore. Felly, maent wedi cyflwyno sgrin werdd, coeden werdd artiffisial ar y ffens i geisio diogelu eu buarth rhag mwg gwenwynig, ac mae'n syniad da - yn wir, yn ôl cynlluniau peilot mewn mannau eraill, bydd yn lleihau'r llygredd oddeutu 20 y cant, ond yn amlwg, nid yw hynny'n ddigonol mewn ardal hynod o lygredig. Hoffwn weld y ffordd honno'n cau ond dywedir wrthyf fod y traffig sy'n mynd ar y llwybr amgen eisoes ar 106 y cant o'r capasiti. Felly, nid yw'r mathau hynny o atebion lleol yn ddigon. Rhaid inni gyfyngu ar y traffig a ddefnyddir i gymudo ar gyfer teithiau ysgol a phobl sy'n mynd i'r gwaith yn gyffredinol, ac mae hynny'n golygu wrth gwrs fod angen gwell system trafnidiaeth gyhoeddus, ond mae angen inni hefyd newid yn gyfan gwbl y ffordd y meddyliwn am sut y mae ein plant yn mynd i'r ysgol. Mae angen inni beidio â dangos unrhyw oddefgarwch tuag at rieni sy'n dal i fynnu mynd â'u plentyn yn syth at gatiau'r ysgol, sy'n ddrwg i'r plentyn ac yn ddrwg i'r gymuned gyfan. Yr wythnos diwethaf, euthum gyda'r aelod cabinet dros yr amgylchedd a thrafnidiaeth ar Gyngor Caerdydd ar daith feicio o Ysgol Uwchradd Llanisien i Ben-twyn, o ble y bydd llawer o fyfyrwyr yn fy etholaeth yn teithio i Ysgol Uwchradd Llanisien. Mae bron yn 3 milltir ac mae cost cludiant i'r ysgol yn rhwystr enfawr i lawer o bobl ifanc nad ydynt yn mynd i'r ysgol oherwydd nad ydynt yn gallu fforddio'r tocyn bws erbyn diwedd yr wythnos, er eu bod yn gymwys i gael prydau ysgol am ddim. Mae honno'n sefyllfa enbyd ac mae angen inni sicrhau bod gan y disgyblion hyn ddulliau amgen o deithio, ac os gallwn roi cynllun prynu beiciau iddynt, mae llwybrau ar gael eisoes, gydag un neu ddau o fannau cyfyng y mae angen mynd i'r afael â hwy, i'w galluogi i gyrraedd yr ysgol yn eithaf rhwydd - maent yn 11 oed a hŷn - heb orfod dibynnu ar gludiant ysgol drud. Felly, dyna un peth. Bydd bysiau trydan yn dod i Gaerdydd am eu bod wedi llwyddo i gael arian gan yr Adran Drafnidiaeth, ac mae hynny'n mynd i fynd - . Mae pedwar o'r llwybrau bws hyn ar Ffordd Casnewydd yn mynd i fod yn lanach o ganlyniad. Ond mae gwir angen i ni weld y math o barthau aer glân sy'n mynd i gael eu cyflwyno yn Birmingham, ac sydd wedi'u haddo ym Manceinion hefyd, er mwyn sicrhau bod ein prifddinas yn teimlo fel prifddinas yn hytrach na man lle mae'r boblogaeth fwyaf difreintiedig yn gorfod byw mewn ardaloedd lle y ceir llygredd helaeth. Hoffwn atgoffa Aelodau'r Blaid Geidwadol fod peidio â thrydaneiddio'r brif lein i Abertawe hefyd yn cyfrannu'n helaeth at y llygredd sy'n parhau yng Nghaerdydd, a hynny am fod y drafnidiaeth ddeufodd yn golygu, pan fydd y trên naill ai'n mynd tuag at Abertawe neu'n dod yn ôl o Abertawe, ei bod yn chwydu nwyon diesel allan yn hytrach na thrydan sy'n llawer glanach. Felly, mae angen inni weld newid enfawr. A'r newid mawr arall y mae angen inni ei weld yw e-feiciau, y rhoddodd llawer ohonom gynnig arnynt pan ddaethant yma ddoe. Mae hwn yn gyfle enfawr i bobl newid o ddefnyddio ceir i ddefnyddio, nid beiciau ond e-feiciau, am eu bod yn galluogi rhai llai abl yn gorfforol i ddefnyddio beic, maent yn eich galluogi i fynd i fyny bryniau serth, fel sydd gennyf yn fy etholaeth, ac maent hefyd yn eich galluogi i gario siopa trwm adref yn ddidrafferth. Felly, rwy'n credu bod e-feiciau yn un o'r ffyrdd y gallwn hyrwyddo ffordd wahanol o symud o gwmpas ein dinas. Ond mae'n rhaid i ni feddwl hefyd am bethau fel barthau gwahardd traffig ger ysgolion i atal pobl rhag gwneud y peth anghywir a gwaethygu traffig y tu allan i'r ysgol gan beryglu pob disgybl.
