English: Well, I do have to tell the Member that 2,379 payments worth over £7 million have been made from the lockdown business fund, covering over 22,000 jobs. A total of 750 micro and small and medium-sized enterprise businesses have been awarded funding through the economic resilience fund, totalling £11.6 million, and 707 payments worth over £1.9 million so far have been made from the ERF phase 3 lockdown business fund. And these are all relating to businesses in RCT. And through the COVID-19 non-domestic business rates grant, a total of 3,767 awards have been processed to businesses, totalling £43.8 million. And, of course, the Development Bank of Wales has been busy lending to businesses in RCT and has provided over £6 million to 66 businesses, safeguarding 900 jobs. So, Welsh Government has been very effective and busy in supporting businesses in RCT, as you'll see from the figures there. Clearly, we want to do more, and we want to better understand the particular challenges relating to the ERF phase 3, and I have constant discussions with the Minister for economy and transport regarding future funding and future support for business.
Welsh: Wel, mae'n rhaid imi ddweud wrth yr Aelod fod 2,379 o daliadau gwerth dros £7 miliwn wedi'u gwneud o'r gronfa i fusnesau dan gyfyngiadau, gan gefnogi dros 22,000 o swyddi. Dyfarnwyd cyllid i gyfanswm o 750 o ficrofusnesau a mentrau bach a chanolig drwy'r gronfa cadernid economaidd, sef cyfanswm o £11.6 miliwn, ac mae 707 o daliadau gwerth cyfanswm o dros £1.9 miliwn wedi'i gwneud hyd yn hyn o gronfa cam 3 y gronfa cadernid economaidd i fusnesau dan gyfyngiadau. Ac mae pob un o'r rhain yn berthnasol i fusnesau yn RhCT. A thrwy grant ardrethi busnes annomestig COVID-19, mae cyfanswm o 3,767 o ddyfarniadau wedi'u prosesu i fusnesau, sef cyfanswm o £43.8 miliwn. Ac wrth gwrs, mae Banc Datblygu Cymru wedi bod yn brysur yn benthyca i fusnesau yn RhCT ac wedi darparu dros £6 miliwn i 66 o fusnesau, gan ddiogelu 900 o swyddi. Felly, mae Llywodraeth Cymru wedi bod yn effeithiol ac yn brysur iawn yn cefnogi busnesau yn RhCT, fel y gwelwch o'r ffigurau yno. Yn amlwg, rydym am wneud mwy, ac rydym am ddeall yr heriau penodol sy'n ymwneud â cham 3 y gronfa cadernid economaidd yn well, ac rwy'n cael trafodaethau cyson gyda Gweinidog yr economi a thrafnidiaeth ynghylch cyllid yn y dyfodol a chymorth i fusnesau yn y dyfodol.
English: We have made available an extra £113 million, approved by the Senedd for rail services last week in the second supplementary budget. We are continuing to closely monitor what further funding may be needed for the operation of services until the end of the year.
Welsh: Rydym wedi sicrhau bod £113 miliwn yn ychwanegol, a gymeradwywyd gan y Senedd yr wythnos diwethaf yn yr ail gyllideb atodol, ar gael ar gyfer gwasanaethau rheilffyrdd. Rydym yn parhau i fonitro pa gyllid pellach y gallai fod ei angen ar gyfer gweithredu gwasanaethau tan ddiwedd y flwyddyn.
English: So, Welsh Government is now directly, or at least through its 100 per cent owned Transport for Wales, paying really quite substantial amounts to subsidise services within England, including for stations that, perhaps, a handful of passengers only are using. In addition, Transport for Wales is the station facility owner for quite large stations in England, such as Hereford, Shrewsbury and Chester. The UK Department for Transport is considering transferring responsibility for those stations away from Transport for Wales. Is that something the finance Minister would support, and shouldn't the UK Government be doing more in this area now?
Welsh: Felly, mae Llywodraeth Cymru bellach, yn uniongyrchol, neu o leiaf drwy Trafnidiaeth Cymru, sy'n eiddo 100 y cant i Lywodraeth Cymru, yn talu arian eithaf sylweddol i sybsideiddio gwasanaethau yn Lloegr, gan gynnwys gorsafoedd nad oes mwy na llond llaw o deithwyr yn eu defnyddio o bosibl. Yn ogystal, Trafnidiaeth Cymru yw perchennog cyfleuster yr orsaf mewn gorsafoedd eithaf mawr yn Lloegr, fel Henffordd, Amwythig a Chaer. Mae Adran Drafnidiaeth y DU yn ystyried trosglwyddo'r cyfrifoldeb am y gorsafoedd hynny oddi wrth Trafnidiaeth Cymru. A yw hynny'n rhywbeth y byddai'r Gweinidog cyllid yn ei gefnogi, ac oni ddylai Llywodraeth y DU fod yn gwneud mwy yn y maes hwn nawr?
English: The UK Government should be doing a huge amount more in this area. We're very aware that, for too long, Wales has been at the back of the queue when the UK Government has been investing in rail infrastructure, and the rolling stock that we're currently using, much of it is nearly 40 years old. Based on known commitments for the period from 2019 to 2029, we estimate shortfalls of up to £5.1 billion over this period. I have to say I'm even more concerned than ever now about rail funding in Wales as a result of the spending review today. The Member will know that the Barnett formula works on what are compatibility factors between UK Government departments and Welsh Government, in terms of where the responsibilities lie, and my understanding is, although we've yet to look at the spreadsheets following the Chancellor's statements, that the factor for the Department for Transport is going to be slashed as a result of HS2. So, that is a real concern. Unfortunately, I haven't seen the spreadsheets that are always shared after the Chancellor makes his statement, because I've been here this afternoon, but as soon as we have the opportunity after answering questions, we'll have a better understanding of what the real implications for us will be.
Welsh: Dylai Llywodraeth y DU fod yn gwneud mwy o lawer yn y maes hwn. Rydym yn ymwybodol iawn fod Cymru, ers gormod o amser, wedi bod yng nghefn y ciw pan oedd Llywodraeth y DU yn buddsoddi yn y seilwaith rheilffyrdd, ac mae llawer o'r cerbydau rydym yn eu defnyddio ar hyn o bryd bron yn 40 oed. Ar sail yr ymrwymiadau sy'n hysbys ar gyfer y cyfnod rhwng 2019 a 2029, rydym yn amcangyfrif diffygion o hyd at £5.1 biliwn dros y cyfnod hwn. Mae'n rhaid imi ddweud fy mod hyd yn oed yn fwy pryderus nag erioed bellach am gyllid rheilffyrdd yng Nghymru o ganlyniad i'r adolygiad o wariant heddiw. Bydd yr Aelod yn gwybod bod fformiwla Barnett yn gweithio ar yr hyn a elwir yn ffactorau cydweddoldeb rhwng adrannau Llywodraeth y DU a Llywodraeth Cymru mewn perthynas â phwy sy'n gyfrifol am beth, a fy nealltwriaeth i, er nad ydym wedi edrych eto ar y taenlenni yn dilyn datganiadau'r Canghellor, yw y bydd y ffactor ar gyfer yr Adran Drafnidiaeth yn cael ei dorri'n helaeth o ganlyniad i HS2. Felly, mae hynny'n peri cryn bryder. Yn anffodus, nid wyf wedi gweld y taenlenni sydd bob amser yn cael eu rhannu ar ôl i'r Canghellor wneud ei ddatganiad, gan fy mod wedi bod yma y prynhawn yma, ond cyn gynted ag y cawn gyfle ar ôl ateb cwestiynau, bydd gennym well dealltwriaeth o beth fydd y goblygiadau real i ni.
English: Minister, Transport for Wales, of course, will be taking on quite a bit of additional responsibilities over the coming years. I note that Transport for Wales continues to employ a significant number of outside, external consultants rather than using resource from within Transport for Wales. When asked about this last week, what James Price, the chief executive officer of Transport for Wales, said was that if they had a longer term remit letter, then they would effectively be able to resource additional skills within Transport for Wales, reducing the need for external consultants. The implication there is that a huge saving could be made, I think. Is this something that you have discussed with your colleague the Minister for the economy and transport?
Welsh: Weinidog, bydd Trafnidiaeth Cymru, wrth gwrs, yn ysgwyddo cryn dipyn o gyfrifoldebau ychwanegol dros y blynyddoedd i ddod. Nodaf fod Trafnidiaeth Cymru yn parhau i gyflogi nifer sylweddol o ymgynghorwyr allanol yn hytrach na defnyddio adnoddau mewnol Trafnidiaeth Cymru. Pan ofynnwyd iddo ynglŷn â hyn yr wythnos diwethaf, yr hyn a ddywedodd James Price, prif swyddog gweithredol Trafnidiaeth Cymru, oedd pe bai ganddynt lythyr cylch gwaith ar gyfer y tymor hwy, gallent i bob pwrpas ariannu sgiliau mewnol ychwanegol yn Trafnidiaeth Cymru, gan leihau'r angen am ymgynghorwyr allanol. Credaf mai'r awgrym yno yw y gellid arbed cryn dipyn o arian. A yw hyn yn rhywbeth rydych wedi'i drafod â'ch cyd-Aelod, Gweinidog yr economi a thrafnidiaeth?
English: We would always love to give partners longer term certainty for their funding, and, certainly, it's something that the Chancellor has been able to offer schools and the NHS across the border in England, and also infrastructure projects, but hasn't been able to offer us that same kind of certainty. So, a one-year spending review, following another one-year spending round, which we had last year, just means the situation is very difficult in terms of providing any level of certainty. So, yes, I do have discussions about the future funding arrangements with my colleague Ken Skates, and, obviously, he will be keen to have greater sight of funding across future years, and we are considering a model, actually, that might provide that, but I'm very aware that there would have to be a great deal of flexibility in that to allow us to respond to unforeseen situations. For example, earlier this year, we had to use maximum flexibility with Welsh Government budgets to reallocate funding in terms of responding to COVID-19. So, it's a discussion we're having in that context, and also, I have to say, in the context of the future of regional funding, but again, much depends on the outcome of the spending review today in terms of how much we'll be able to allocate to that.
Welsh: Byddem bob amser wrth ein boddau'n rhoi sicrwydd mwy hirdymor i bartneriaid ynglŷn â'u cyllid, ac yn sicr, mae'n rhywbeth y mae'r Canghellor wedi gallu ei gynnig i ysgolion a'r GIG dros y ffin yn Lloegr, yn ogystal â phrosiectau seilwaith, ond nid yw wedi gallu cynnig yr un math o sicrwydd i ninnau. Felly, mae adolygiad o wariant un flwyddyn, yn dilyn rownd wariant un flwyddyn arall a gawsom y llynedd, yn golygu bod y sefyllfa'n anodd iawn o ran darparu unrhyw lefel o sicrwydd. Felly, ydw, rwy'n cael trafodaethau am drefniadau cyllido'r dyfodol gyda fy nghyd-Aelod Ken Skates, ac yn amlwg, bydd yn awyddus i gael mwy o syniad ynglŷn â chyllid ar gyfer y blynyddoedd i ddod, ac rydym yn ystyried model a allai ddarparu hynny, ond rwy'n ymwybodol iawn y byddai'n rhaid cael llawer iawn o hyblygrwydd yn hwnnw i ganiatáu inni ymateb i sefyllfaoedd annisgwyl. Er enghraifft, yn gynharach eleni, bu'n rhaid inni ddefnyddio'r hyblygrwydd mwyaf posibl gyda chyllidebau Llywodraeth Cymru i ailddyrannu cyllid er mwyn ymateb i COVID-19. Felly, mae'n drafodaeth rydym yn ei chael yn y cyd-destun hwnnw, a hefyd, mae'n rhaid i mi ddweud, yng nghyd-destun dyfodol cyllido rhanbarthol, ond unwaith eto, mae llawer yn dibynnu ar ganlyniad yr adolygiad o wariant heddiw o ran faint y byddwn yn gallu ei ddyrannu ar gyfer hynny.
English: The intended effect of the temporary changes to land transaction tax was to encourage transactions in the housing market during the remainder of this financial year. The latest LTT data show positive trends in transactions and tax revenue compared to the early months of this financial year.
Welsh: Yr effaith y bwriedir i'r newidiadau dros dro i'r dreth trafodiadau tir ei chael oedd annog trafodiadau yn y farchnad dai yn ystod gweddill y flwyddyn ariannol hon. Mae'r data diweddaraf ar gyfer y dreth trafodiadau tir yn dangos tueddiadau cadarnhaol mewn trafodiadau a refeniw trethi o gymharu â misoedd cynnar y flwyddyn ariannol hon.
English: A report earlier this month by Halifax revealed that the average UK house price is now £250,000. This came on top of a report last month by Nationwide that found that UK house prices were rising at their fastest rate for five years, and this has been partly attributed to a rush to buy ahead of the end of England's stamp duty holiday next spring, whereas in Wales we've adopted a much fairer and more progressive approach through the land transaction tax, which better reflects the nature of our housing market. Can the Minister confirm today, with that in mind, as we approach the end of the LTT holiday here in Wales, that the Welsh Government will set out its plans to engage with key stakeholders throughout the process to avoid an increase in prices that would put pressure on affordable housing in the northern areas of the constituency that I represent?
Welsh: Datgelodd adroddiad yn gynharach y mis hwn gan Halifax fod cyfartaledd prisiau tai yn y DU bellach yn £250,000. Daeth hyn ar ôl adroddiad y mis diwethaf gan Nationwide a ganfu fod prisiau tai'r DU yn codi ar eu cyfradd gyflymaf ers pum mlynedd, ac mae hyn wedi'i briodoli'n rhannol i ruthr i brynu cyn diwedd y seibiant rhag talu'r dreth stamp yn Lloegr y gwanwyn nesaf, tra'n bod ni yng Nghymru wedi mabwysiadu dull llawer tecach a mwy blaengar drwy'r dreth trafodiadau tir, sy'n adlewyrchu natur ein marchnad dai yn well. Gyda hynny mewn golwg, wrth inni agosáu at ddiwedd y seibiant rhag talu'r dreth trafodiadau tir yma yng Nghymru, a all y Gweinidog gadarnhau heddiw y bydd Llywodraeth Cymru yn nodi ei chynlluniau i ymgysylltu â rhanddeiliaid allweddol drwy gydol y broses er mwyn osgoi cynnydd mewn prisiau a fyddai'n rhoi pwysau ar dai fforddiadwy yn ardaloedd gogleddol yr etholaeth rwy'n ei chynrychioli?
English: Thank you to Hefin David for raising that particular issue. As we move towards the end of the year, obviously I'll be keen to hear views from colleagues in the Chamber, and also engaging with stakeholders as well about the potential future of land transaction tax. Obviously, I'm keen not to make announcements too far in advance, because then you end up with situations where there's forestalling and people changing the timing of their purchase in order to get the most advantageous deal, which is completely an understandable thing to do, but if you're using tax to try and drive a certain behaviour, then it obviously has some issues there. So, obviously we're completely committed to transparency on our tax policy, and I'd been keen to have some further discussions with Hefin David about the particular implications and effects of tax changes within his own constituency, particularly in the north of the Caerphilly area.
Welsh: Diolch i Hefin David am godi'r mater penodol hwnnw. Wrth inni agosáu at ddiwedd y flwyddyn, yn amlwg, byddaf yn awyddus i glywed barn fy nghyd-Aelodau yn y Siambr, ac i ymgysylltu hefyd â rhanddeiliaid ynghylch dyfodol posibl y dreth trafodiadau tir. Yn amlwg, rwy'n awyddus i beidio â gwneud cyhoeddiadau yn rhy bell ymlaen llaw, gan fod hynny'n arwain at sefyllfaoedd lle mae pobl yn ceisio rhagbrynu a newid amseriad eu pryniant er mwyn cael y fargen orau, sy'n beth cwbl ddealladwy i'w wneud, ond os ydych yn defnyddio trethi i geisio hybu ymddygiad penodol, mae'n amlwg fod rhai problemau ynghlwm wrth hynny. Felly, yn amlwg, rydym wedi ymrwymo'n llwyr i dryloywder mewn perthynas â'n polisi trethi, ac rwy'n awyddus i gael trafodaethau pellach gyda Hefin David ynghylch goblygiadau ac effeithiau penodol newidiadau i drethi yn ei etholaeth ef, yn enwedig yng ngogledd ardal Caerffili.
English: Minister, we've welcomed the land transaction tax cut, albeit temporary and less generous than is the case in England. It's been our long-standing policy, of course, to raise the land transaction tax threshold to £250,000 for first-time buyers on a permanent basis, not just on a temporary basis. What consideration have you given to making this a permanent change in land transaction tax duty?
Welsh: Weinidog, rydym wedi croesawu'r toriad i'r dreth trafodiadau tir, er ei fod yn doriad dros dro ac yn llai hael na'r hyn sy'n digwydd yn Lloegr. Ein polisi ers peth amser, wrth gwrs, yw codi trothwy'r dreth trafodiadau tir i £250,000 ar gyfer prynwyr tro cyntaf yn barhaol, yn hytrach na dros dro yn unig. Pa ystyriaeth rydych wedi'i rhoi i sicrhau bod hwn yn newid parhaol yn y dreth trafodiadau tir?
English: There are very good reasons for having different thresholds in Wales as compared to England, and those are most notably around the fact that average house prices are very different here in Wales. So, the average house price in England is currently £262,000, and in Wales it is well below that, around £165,000. So, they are clearly very different housing markets and I think it's entirely appropriate to have different thresholds for land transaction tax to reflect that.
Welsh: Mae rhesymau da iawn dros gael trothwyon gwahanol yng Nghymru o gymharu â Lloegr, ac maent yn ymwneud, yn fwyaf nodedig, â'r ffaith bod prisiau tai ar gyfartaledd yn wahanol iawn yma yng Nghymru. Felly, mae cyfartaledd prisiau tai yn Lloegr ar hyn o bryd yn £262,000, ac yng Nghymru, mae'n llawer llai na hynny, oddeutu £165,000. Felly, maent yn amlwg yn farchnadoedd tai gwahanol iawn, a chredaf ei bod yn gwbl briodol cael trothwyon gwahanol ar gyfer y dreth trafodiadau tir i adlewyrchu hynny.
English: Transforming towns, backing the foundational economy, upgrading major infrastructure and targeting new investment for the Heads of the Valleys are important priorities for the Welsh Government. During the pandemic we have provided over £150 million in business support to protect jobs and businesses across the Heads of the Valleys.
Welsh: Mae trawsnewid trefi, cefnogi'r economi sylfaenol, uwchraddio seilwaith mawr a thargedu buddsoddiad newydd ar gyfer Blaenau'r Cymoedd yn flaenoriaethau pwysig i Lywodraeth Cymru. Yn ystod y pandemig, rydym wedi darparu dros £150 miliwn mewn cymorth i fusnesau i ddiogelu swyddi a busnesau ar draws Blaenau'r Cymoedd.
English: I'm grateful to the Minister for that answer. One area where I do agree with the UK Chancellor of the Exchequer, speaking today in the House of Commons, is when he said that the economic crisis that we're facing as a consequence of the coronavirus pandemic is only just beginning. One of the lessons we've learnt in the Heads of the Valleys is that, whenever there is an economic crisis, we bear the brunt of that crisis. We saw that in the 1980s with the destruction of heavy industry by the Thatcher Governments, we saw it again as a consequence of the global financial crisis, and we've suffered 10 years of Tory austerity that has ripped the hearts out of our communities. I think people across the Heads of the Valleys are grateful to the Welsh Government for the support that has been provided by the Welsh Government, at a far higher level than in any other part of the United Kingdom. But in recovering from this crisis, can we ensure that the future of towns is at the heart of how the Government moves forward, that there's a focus on towns such as Tredegar or Ebbw Vale, Abertillery or Brynmawr, which are at the heart of not just our local communities, but our local economies as well, and in driving forward economic growth as a consequence of this crisis, that we can ensure that there's a strong focus on the future of towns?
Welsh: Rwy'n ddiolchgar i'r Gweinidog am ei hateb. Un maes lle rwy'n cytuno â Changhellor Trysorlys y DU, wrth iddo siarad heddiw yn Nhŷ'r Cyffredin, yw pan ddywedodd mai megis dechrau y mae'r argyfwng economaidd rydym yn ei wynebu o ganlyniad i'r pandemig coronafeirws. Pryd bynnag y ceir argyfwng economaidd, un o'r gwersi rydym wedi'u dysgu ym Mlaenau'r Cymoedd yw mai ni sy'n dwyn baich yr argyfwng hwnnw. Gwelsom hynny yn y 1980au wrth i Lywodraethau Thatcher ddinistrio'r diwydiannau trwm, fe'i gwelsom eto o ganlyniad i'r argyfwng ariannol byd-eang, ac rydym wedi dioddef 10 mlynedd o gyni Torïaidd sydd wedi rhwygo'r galon allan o'n cymunedau. Credaf fod pobl ar draws Blaenau'r Cymoedd yn ddiolchgar i Lywodraeth Cymru am y gefnogaeth a ddarparwyd gan Lywodraeth Cymru, ar lefel uwch o lawer nag unrhyw ran arall o'r Deyrnas Unedig. Ond wrth ymadfer wedi'r argyfwng hwn, a allwn sicrhau bod dyfodol trefi wrth wraidd y ffordd y mae'r Llywodraeth yn symud ymlaen, a sicrhau y ceir ffocws ar drefi fel Tredegar neu Lynebwy, Abertyleri neu Fryn-mawr, sydd wrth wraidd nid yn unig ein cymunedau lleol, ond ein heconomïau lleol hefyd, ac wrth hybu twf economaidd o ganlyniad i'r argyfwng hwn, y gallwn sicrhau ffocws cryf ar ddyfodol trefi?
English: I absolutely agree that, in the future, we'll need to build on the Transforming Towns programme and have a really strong focus on towns. Town centres will look different in future, but I want them to look like vibrant places nonetheless. And we need to be considering more heritage-led regeneration, and there are some great examples across the Valleys of that. Housing-led regeneration, I think, is also really important. Some of the work we've already been doing that relates specifically, I think, to the recovery picture is funding towards a £1.3 million scheme to create flexible working space at the Works site in Ebbw Vale. I think flexible working will be more important than ever now. And we're providing funding towards a £5.1 million scheme that will bring new businesses into Brynmawr. And also there's some further funding to support new projects in Tredegar, Brynmawr and Nantyglo. I think all of these things will be important as we seek to recover from the pandemic.
Welsh: Cytunaf yn llwyr y bydd angen inni adeiladu, yn y dyfodol, ar raglen Trawsnewid Trefi a sicrhau bod gennym ffocws cryf iawn ar drefi. Bydd canol trefi'n edrych yn wahanol yn y dyfodol, ond rwyf am iddynt edrych fel lleoedd bywiog serch hynny. Ac mae angen inni ystyried mwy o adfywio a arweinir gan dreftadaeth, ac mae rhai enghreifftiau gwych o hynny ar draws y Cymoedd. Mae adfywio a arweinir gan dai, yn fy marn i, hefyd yn bwysig iawn. Mae peth o'r gwaith y buom yn ei wneud eisoes sy'n ymwneud yn benodol â'r darlun adfer yn cynnwys darparu cyllid tuag at gynllun gwerth £1.3 miliwn i greu lleoliad gweithio hyblyg ar safle'r Gweithfeydd yng Nglynebwy. Credaf y bydd gweithio hyblyg yn bwysicach nag erioed yn awr. Ac rydym yn darparu cyllid tuag at gynllun gwerth £5.1 miliwn a fydd yn dod â busnesau newydd i Fryn-mawr. Ac mae rhywfaint o gyllid pellach hefyd i gefnogi prosiectau newydd yn Nhredegar, Bryn-mawr a Nant-y-glo. Credaf y bydd yr holl bethau hyn yn bwysig wrth inni geisio ymadfer wedi'r pandemig.
English: We are investing in all parts of Wales to support our public services, businesses and communities. Investments in Pembrokeshire include £48.7 million for a new secondary school in Haverfordwest and £40 million for improvements to the A40. Pembrokeshire County Council has also been awarded an allocation of £6.9 million of targeted regeneration investment funding.
Welsh: Rydym yn buddsoddi ym mhob rhan o Gymru i gefnogi ein gwasanaethau cyhoeddus, ein busnesau a'n cymunedau. Ymhlith y buddsoddiadau yn Sir Benfro mae £48.7 miliwn ar gyfer ysgol uwchradd newydd yn Hwlffordd a £40 miliwn ar gyfer gwelliannau i'r A40. Mae Cyngor Sir Penfro hefyd wedi derbyn dyraniad o £6.9 miliwn o gyllid targedu buddsoddiad mewn adfywio.
English: Minister, I'm grateful to you for that answer. Now, I continue to receive representations from residents in Lower Town, Fishguard in my constituency regarding road safety in their local community. And despite positive commitments from previous Ministers on this matter, improvements to the A487 in this specific area are still yet to be taken forward. Minister, what assurances can you give the people of Lower Town, Fishguard that improvements to the trunk road will actually be delivered, and will you commit to working with Pembrokeshire County Council and local residents to deliver a lasting solution for the local area, so that this part of Wales gets the strategic investment that it actually deserves?
Welsh: Weinidog, rwy'n ddiolchgar i chi am eich ateb. Nawr, rwy'n parhau i dderbyn sylwadau gan drigolion yng Nghwm Abergwaun yn fy etholaeth ynglŷn â diogelwch ar y ffyrdd yn eu cymuned leol. Ac er gwaethaf ymrwymiadau cadarnhaol gan Weinidogion blaenorol ar y mater hwn, nid yw'r gwelliannau i'r A487 yn yr ardal benodol hon wedi'u rhoi ar waith o hyd. Weinidog, pa sicrwydd y gallwch ei roi i bobl Cwm Abergwaun y bydd gwelliannau i'r gefnffordd yn cael eu cyflawni, ac a wnewch chi ymrwymo i weithio gyda Chyngor Sir Penfro a thrigolion lleol i sicrhau ateb parhaol i'r ardal leol, fel bod y rhan hon o Gymru'n cael y buddsoddiad strategol y mae'n ei haeddu?
