English: There is an estate in my constituency that was built in the 1970s: the roads are spacious, there's plenty of parking, large gardens, and spacious houses. And it is striking that when you visit the newer houses that have been built in the last decade, the newer estates that have been built in the last decade, the houses are squashed in, it's unclear which street is which, and everyone is packed in together and the roads are unadopted. We have taken steps backwards in the last 10 years, and I think that part of it is because the big four housing developers, or the big six housing developers, are using the housing shortage to their advantage, and they have all the power in these circumstances. That's not good enough, and I think this is an opportunity to do something about it. I'm not going to repeat, actually, Dai Lloyd's speech, David Melding's speech and Mike Hedges's speech - my speech was an amalgam of those three. So, I'm not going to go and repeat everything that's been said, but I will just pick up on some of those things. Adoption of roads: absolutely. I've checked out the statistics and there is one unadopted private street - that's a street with only one access point - in Caerphilly borough. There are seven unadopted rear lanes. But there are 15 unadopted new developments, and what is happening - . I'm going to name-check Castle Reach and Kingsmead estates, because I've been trying to sort out the broadband there. I went out and delivered a letter to every house about broadband and nearly sprained my ankle on the potholes that are in the roads on that unadopted estate. It is not good enough. I've had correspondence from constituents who feel very strongly. And the estate is still being built. People have been living there for two years. The estate is still being built. When are they going to finish? They're stringing it out so they don't have to complete the roads and the infrastructure. It is not good enough. I had a meeting at Cwm Calon at the other end of my constituency, which is a completed estate with most of the roads adopted, but some still not. The residents there are paying to an estate management company. I shouted the word 'extortionate' when that was being said, and Michelle Brown said, 'Well, it's not extortionate'. Well, actually, I don't think that's too far off the mark, to be honest with you. The residents in Cwm Calon wrote to the estate management company. One resident had a response from the estate management company to her. 'With respect', it said, in an e-mail, 'get a life'. That's from the estate management company to a resident in Cwm Calon estate. Absolutely disgraceful. Now, I'll be looking to have a meeting with both the developer and the estate management company to look at what more they can do to complete the work that they should be doing as a result of the monthly payments that people are making in that estate.
Welsh: Mae yna ystâd yn fy etholaeth a adeiladwyd yn y 1970au: mae'r ffyrdd yn fawr, mae digon o le i barcio, gerddi mawr, a thai mawr. Ac mae'n drawiadol pan fyddwch yn ymweld â'r tai newydd a adeiladwyd yn ystod y degawd diwethaf, yr ystadau newydd a adeiladwyd yn ystod y degawd diwethaf, mae'r tai wedi'u gwasgu i mewn, mae'n aneglur pa stryd yw pa stryd, a chaiff pawb eu gwasgu at ei gilydd ac mae'r ffyrdd heb eu mabwysiadu. Rydym wedi cymryd camau tuag yn ôl yn y 10 mlynedd diwethaf, a chredaf fod rhan ohono'n deillio o'r ffaith fod y pedwar datblygwr tai mawr, neu'r chwech datblygwr tai mawr, yn manteisio ar y prinder tai, a ganddynt hwy y mae'r pŵer i gyd yn yr amgylchiadau hyn. Nid yw hynny'n ddigon da, a chredaf fod hwn yn gyfle i wneud rhywbeth yn ei gylch. Nid wyf am ailadrodd araith Dai Lloyd, araith David Melding ac araith Mike Hedges - roedd fy araith yn gyfuniad o'r tri. Felly, nid wyf am ailadrodd popeth sydd wedi'i ddweud, ond fe af i'r afael â rhai o'r pethau hynny. Mabwysiadu ffyrdd: yn hollol. Rwyf wedi gwirio'r ystadegau a cheir un stryd breifat heb ei mabwysiadu - hynny yw, stryd gydag un pwynt mynediad - ym mwrdeistref Caerffili. Ceir saith o lonydd cefn sydd heb eu mabwysiadu. Ond mae yna 15 o ddatblygiadau newydd sydd heb eu mabwysiadu, a'r hyn sy'n digwydd - . Rwy'n mynd i enwi ystadau Castle Reach a Kingsmead, oherwydd rwyf wedi bod yn ceisio datrys problem y band eang yno. Euthum yno i ddosbarthu llythyr i bob tŷ am y band eang a bu bron i mi droi fy ffêr ar y tyllau sydd yn y ffyrdd ar yr ystâd honno sydd heb ei mabwysiadu. Nid yw'n ddigon da. Rwyf wedi cael gohebiaeth gan etholwyr sy'n teimlo'n gryf iawn am hyn. Ac mae'r ystâd yn dal i gael ei hadeiladu. Mae pobl wedi bod yn byw yno ers dwy flynedd. Mae'r ystâd yn dal i gael ei hadeiladu. Pryd y maent yn mynd i orffen? Maent yn oedi fel na fydd yn rhaid iddynt gwblhau'r ffyrdd a'r seilwaith. Nid yw'n ddigon da. Cefais gyfarfod yng Nghwm Calon ar ben arall fy etholaeth, sef ystâd wedi'i chwblhau gyda'r rhan fwyaf o'r ffyrdd wedi'u mabwysiadu, ond mae rhai'n dal heb eu mabwysiadu. Mae'r trigolion yno'n talu i gwmni rheoli'r ystâd. Gwaeddais y gair 'extortionate' pan ddywedwyd hynny, a dywedodd Michelle Brown nad oedd yn hynny. Wel, mewn gwirionedd, nid wyf yn credu ei fod yn rhy bell o'r gwir, i fod yn onest gyda chi. Ysgrifennodd y trigolion yng Nghwm Calon at gwmni rheoli'r ystâd. Cafodd un preswylydd ymateb gan gwmni rheoli'r ystâd. 'Gyda pharch', dywedodd mewn e-bost, 'gwnewch rywbeth gyda'ch bywyd'. Dyna a ddaeth gan gwmni rheoli'r ystâd i breswylydd ar ystâd Cwm Calon. Hollol warthus. Nawr, byddaf yn ceisio cael cyfarfod gyda'r datblygwr a chwmni rheoli'r ystâd i edrych i weld beth arall y gallant ei wneud i gwblhau'r gwaith y dylent fod yn ei wneud o ganlyniad i'r taliadau misol y mae pobl yn eu gwneud ar yr ystâd honno.
