English: Thank you, Deputy Presiding Officer. I'd like to start by thanking Members across the Chamber for their contributions and the opportunity to respond to what I think has been an enlightening and informative debate with no dissent from the central position that a problem needs solving in Wales. Now, firstly, of course, I need to be absolutely clear that we as a Government are responsible for the motorway and trunk roads in Wales. We do not have jurisdiction over local roads or unadopted roads. But I do sympathise very, very deeply with people who find themselves in the position of having bought a new home, only to find that the road outside is in an unadopted condition, and I think we can all agree that this is unacceptable. I myself live on an estate that is accessed by an unadopted road, and we've set up a management company as residents, as neighbours. But, for the reasons that Dai Lloyd outlined, many people can't afford this, or it's not a suitable solution. I hasten to add I've never been told to get a life by anyone on my management company, because it is a resident-run company. I have to say I've been utterly shocked by some of the stories that I've heard today about the way that constituents of Members in this Chamber have been treated. Deputy Presiding Officer, I have copious notes with me that perhaps I should be reading through concerning the rights of home owners and tenants, but, quite frankly, I think it's worth cutting to the chase, because the problem associated with unadopted roads is both a local and national issue. In my view, it therefore justifies a national approach to ensure a consistent approach across all authorities. Coming up with a solution requires input from many key players, including, but not limited to, Welsh Government, local highway and planning authorities, national parks, the legal profession, developers, the National House-Building Council and mortgage companies. There are two areas that require consideration: there is the here-and-now issue around bringing existing unadopted roads to adoptable standards, and then there is also the need to develop a way that avoids existing issues being repeated in future developments. I accept that the Welsh Government has an important role to instigate this change, and so I'm very pleased to be able to inform Members today that I have asked my officials to seek discussions with the Welsh Local Government Association on the development of a taskforce to resolve this problem across our country. Working with key partners, we will review the current position and we will come up with recommendations on how we can address and avoid, in the future, the issues experienced by house buyers that have been outlined by Members across the Chamber today. As I've said before in relation to other infrastructure in Wales, whilst Welsh Government is not the cause of the problem, we most certainly can offer a cure.
Welsh: Diolch, Ddirprwy Lywydd. Hoffwn ddechrau drwy ddiolch i Aelodau ar draws y Siambr am eu cyfraniadau a'r cyfle i ymateb i'r ddadl ddiddorol a llawn gwybodaeth hon heb unrhyw anghytuno â'r safbwynt canolog fod angen datrys problem yng Nghymru. Nawr, yn gyntaf, wrth gwrs, mae angen i mi fod yn gwbl glir mai ni fel Llywodraeth sy'n gyfrifol am y traffyrdd a'r cefnffyrdd yng Nghymru. Nid oes gennym awdurdodaeth dros ffyrdd lleol neu ffyrdd heb eu mabwysiadu. Ond rwy'n cydymdeimlo'n fawr iawn â'r bobl sydd mewn sefyllfa o fod wedi prynu cartref newydd, ac yna'n dod i ddeall bod y ffordd y tu allan mewn cyflwr heb ei fabwysiadu, a chredaf y gallwn i gyd gytuno bod hyn yn annerbyniol. Rwyf innau'n byw ar ystâd yr eir iddi ar ffordd heb ei mabwysiadu, ac rydym wedi sefydlu cwmni rheoli fel trigolion, fel cymdogion. Ond am y rhesymau a amlinellodd Dai Lloyd, ychydig o bobl sy'n gallu fforddio hyn, neu nid yw'n ateb addas. Prysuraf i ychwanegu nad oes neb o fy nghwmni rheoli wedi dweud wrthyf am wneud rhywbeth â fy mywyd am mai cwmni dan reolaeth y preswylwyr ydyw. Rhaid i mi ddweud fy mod wedi fy syfrdanu'n llwyr gan rai o'r straeon a glywais heddiw am y ffordd y mae etholwyr Aelodau yn y Siambr hon wedi cael eu trin. Ddirprwy Lywydd, mae gennyf nodiadau helaeth y dylwn fod yn darllen drwyddynt efallai ynglŷn â hawliau perchnogion tai a thenantiaid, ond a dweud y gwir, credaf ei bod hi'n werth mynd at wraidd y mater, oherwydd mae'r broblem sy'n gysylltiedig â ffyrdd heb eu mabwysiadu yn fater lleol a chenedlaethol. Yn fy marn i, mae felly'n cyfiawnhau ymagwedd genedlaethol er mwyn sicrhau dull gweithredu cyson ar draws yr holl awdurdodau. Mae dod o hyd i ateb yn galw am fewnbwn gan nifer o chwaraewyr allweddol, gan gynnwys, ond heb fod yn gyfyngedig i Lywodraeth Cymru, awdurdodau priffyrdd a chynllunio lleol, parciau cenedlaethol, y proffesiwn cyfreithiol, datblygwyr, Cyngor Cenedlaethol Adeiladu Tai a chwmnïau morgeisi. Mae angen ystyried dau faes: mater uniongyrchol dod â ffyrdd heb eu mabwysiadu presennol i safonau mabwysiadwy, ac yna mae angen datblygu ffordd sy'n osgoi gweld y problemau presennol yn cael eu hailadrodd mewn datblygiadau yn y dyfodol. Rwy'n derbyn bod gan Lywodraeth Cymru rôl bwysig yn y broses o gychwyn y newid hwn, ac felly rwy'n falch iawn o allu hysbysu'r Aelodau heddiw fy mod wedi gofyn i fy swyddogion gael trafodaethau â Chymdeithas Llywodraeth Leol Cymru ar ddatblygu tasglu i ddatrys y broblem hon ar draws ein gwlad. Gan weithio gyda phartneriaid allweddol, byddwn yn adolygu'r sefyllfa bresennol ac yn cyflwyno argymhellion ar sut y gallwn fynd i'r afael â'r problemau i brynwyr a amlinellwyd gan yr Aelodau ar draws y Siambr heddiw, a'u hosgoi yn y dyfodol. Fel y dywedais yn flaenorol mewn perthynas â seilwaith arall yng Nghymru, er nad Llywodraeth Cymru yw achos y broblem, yn sicr gallwn gynnig gwellhad.
