English: I'm disappointed but not surprised by that contribution. I think the claim that the Rhondda should benefit over and above the Valleys taskforce areas goes to the heart of the problem with the contribution. It's constantly looking for grievance to seize upon and to exploit, rather than looking in the spirit of co-operation as to how all the authorities can work together. Leanne Wood again mentioned the example of the Treorchy Burberry co-operative, and I have met with them and explained to her at length the process that we went through, working with that co-operative, and working with the trustees, to offer them help to win contracts by themselves. Now, there is a responsibility on both parties to co-operate here, and I know she's disappointed that the co-operative that we set up in Ebbw Vale didn't come to the Rhondda, but, as I say, these projects need to go to different places based on evidence, and the evidence analysis that we carried out for the criteria of that project and having a location that was suitable, close to public transport, close to people who had been out of work for a long time, favoured Ebbw Vale in this particular instance. Leanne Wood seems unable to move beyond that, even though, as I've said, we remain open to working with the co-operative. We have reached out repeatedly to the co-operative. We set up the foundational economy challenge fund, which they could have bid into. So, I'm not sure what else she expects us to do, short of give them a large contract, which we simply just can't be doing. But we remain happy to work with them, because their objectives are my objectives. Their objectives are the objectives of the foundational economy, of social business and social enterprise, which we champion. But it's a shame - she keeps going on about this example when I've explained to her the limitations of that approach, but, again, I sincerely say we remain open to working with them to see if we can find a way through. She asked again what the Rhondda had benefited, and my speech set out a series of initiatives that the Rhondda had benefited from, alongside other parts of the Valleys. Again, the empty homes project, which is specifically in the Rhondda, has benefited considerably from the Valleys taskforce budget, and that helps all parts of the Valleys. Specifically on the co-working space pilots, we are funding £300,000 to Rhondda Cynon Taf council for the development of the Llwynypia court house and for the development of co-working space in Rhondda Housing Association. The court house redevelopment project has a great deal to recommend it, building on the former magistrates' court into a multi-purpose structure, which would have a cafe, a fully-equipped gym, as well as a place where people can work so they can benefit their local town centre, rather than going further afield.
Welsh: Rwy'n siomedig ond nid wyf wedi fy synnu gan y cyfraniad yna. Credaf fod yr honiad y dylai'r Rhondda elwa'n fwy nag ardaloedd tasglu'r Cymoedd yn mynd at wraidd problem y cyfraniad. Mae'n chwilio'n gyson am gŵyn i gydio ynddi a manteisio arni, yn hytrach nag edrych mewn ysbryd o gydweithredu i weld sut y gall yr holl awdurdodau gydweithio. Soniodd Leanne Wood eto am enghraifft cwmni cydweithredol Burberry Treorci, ac rwyf wedi cyfarfod â nhw ac wedi esbonio iddi'n faith y broses yr aethom drwyddi, gan weithio gyda'r cwmni cydweithredol hwnnw, a gweithio gyda'r ymddiriedolwyr, i gynnig cymorth iddyn nhw i ennill contractau ar eu pen eu hunain. Nawr, mae cyfrifoldeb ar y ddwy blaid i gydweithredu yma, a gwn ei bod yn siomedig na ddaeth y fenter gydweithredol a sefydlwyd gennym ni yng Nglynebwy i'r Rhondda, ond, fel y dywedais, mae angen i'r prosiectau hyn fynd i wahanol leoedd yn seiliedig ar dystiolaeth, ac roedd y dadansoddiad o dystiolaeth a wnaethom ni ar gyfer meini prawf y prosiect hwnnw a chael lleoliad a oedd yn addas, yn agos at drafnidiaeth gyhoeddus, yn agos at bobl a fu allan o waith ers amser maith, yn ffafrio Glynebwy yn yr achos penodol hwn. Ymddengys nad yw Leanne Wood yn gallu symud y tu hwnt i hynny, er ein bod, fel y dywedais, yn parhau i fod yn agored i weithio gyda'r cwmni cydweithredol. Rydym ni wedi estyn allan dro ar ôl tro at y cwmni cydweithredol. Sefydlwyd y gronfa her yr economi sylfaenol gennym ni, y gallen nhw fod wedi gwneud cais iddi. Felly, nid wyf yn siŵr beth arall y mae'n disgwyl i ni ei wneud, heblaw rhoi contract mawr iddyn nhw, na allwn ni ei wneud yn sicr. Ond rydym yn parhau i fod yn fodlon gweithio gyda nhw, oherwydd eu hamcanion nhw yw fy amcanion i. Eu hamcanion nhw yw amcanion yr economi sylfaenol, busnes cymdeithasol a mentrau cymdeithasol, yr ydym ni yn eu hyrwyddo. Ond mae'n drueni - mae hi'n dal i fynd ymlaen am yr enghraifft hon a minnau wedi esbonio cyfyngiadau'r dull gweithredu hwnnw iddi, ond, unwaith eto, dywedaf yn ddiffuant ein bod yn parhau i fod yn agored i weithio gyda nhw i weld a allwn ni ganfod ffordd o gael y maen i'r wal. Gofynnodd eto sut y bu i'r Rhondda elwa, ac roedd fy araith yn amlinellu cyfres o fentrau yr oedd y Rhondda wedi elwa arnyn nhw, ochr yn ochr â rhannau eraill o'r Cymoedd. Unwaith eto, mae'r prosiect cartrefi gwag, sydd yn benodol yn y Rhondda, wedi elwa'n sylweddol ar gyllideb tasglu'r Cymoedd, ac mae hynny'n helpu pob rhan o'r Cymoedd. Yn benodol ynglŷn â'r cynlluniau arbrofol ar gyfer mannau cydweithio, rydym ni yn rhoi £300,000 i gyngor Rhondda Cynon Taf ar gyfer datblygu llys Llwynypia ac ar gyfer datblygu man cydweithio yng Nghymdeithas Tai Rhondda. Mae llawer i'w ganmol ynghylch y prosiect i ailddatblygu'r llys, sef datblygu'r hen lys ynadon gynt i greu strwythur amlbwrpas, a fyddai â chaffi, campfa'n llawn offer, yn ogystal â man i bobl weithio fel y gallan nhw fod o fudd i ganol eu tref leol, yn hytrach na mynd ymhellach i ffwrdd.
