English: Thank you, First Minister. I have recently been contacted by several groups who are extremely concerned about the active travel plan and the impact that its implementation is having where it is causing safety issues and difficulties for people in terms of their health and well-being. A particular issue that has been raised is that designated cycle lanes are either being incorporated into the pavement, or are adjacent and at the same level as the pavement. For those with eyesight issues or are registered blind, this can be a terrifying situation, especially for people who use white canes or use guide dogs to help them. When the curb has been removed, guide dogs are unable to distinguish between what is road, cycle lane or pavement. A notable and local example is the bus stop along Dumfries Place in Cardiff. When you step off the bus, you're immediately stepping on to a designated blue cycle lane not a pavement, and people with sight loss risk collision with cyclists. Not only this, but they have no way of determining where the road or pavement starts, which has led to incidences of those suffering sight loss walking directly into the road. For someone with sight issues, this is a very disorientating and frightening experience. There are also issues that horse riders face. For example, bridleways have been downgraded to footpaths and cycle lanes for the active travel plan, forcing horse riders onto the roads in order to access suitable riding routes, which in turn brings them into contact with heavy road traffic, sometimes with deadly and dangerous consequences, such as the recent collision of a van with a horse and rider in Tonyrefail, which has left the rider in hospital with multiple injuries. I'm sure that you will be as deeply concerned by some of these negative consequences as I am, and with this in mind, First Minister, what assurances can you give that the Welsh Government has adequately assessed the needs of everyone when it comes to the active travel plan, because, clearly, there are groups that are not being factored in? Thank you.
Welsh: Diolch, Prif Weinidog. Yn ddiweddar, mae nifer o grwpiau wedi cysylltu â mi yn pryderu yn fawr am y cynllun teithio llesol a'r effaith y mae ei gweithredu yn ei chael lle mae'n achosi problemau diogelwch ac anawsterau i bobl o ran eu hiechyd a'u llesiant. Un mater penodol sydd wedi ei godi yw bod lonydd beicio dynodedig naill ai'n cael eu hymgorffori yn y palmant, neu wrth ymyl y palmant ac ar yr un lefel ag ef. I'r rhai sydd â phroblemau golwg neu sydd wedi eu cofrestru yn ddall, gall hon fod yn sefyllfa frawychus, yn enwedig i bobl sy'n defnyddio ffyn gwyn neu'n defnyddio cŵn tywys i'w helpu. Pan fydd y cwrb wedi ei ddileu, nid yw cŵn tywys yn gallu gwahaniaethu rhwng yr hyn sy'n ffordd, yn lôn feicio neu'n balmant. Un enghraifft nodedig a lleol yw'r safle bws ar hyd Plas Dumfries yng Nghaerdydd. Pan fyddwch chi'n camu oddi ar y bws, rydych chi'n camu yn syth ar lôn feicio las ddynodedig ac nid palmant, ac mae pobl â nam ar eu golwg mewn perygl o fod mewn gwrthdrawiad â beicwyr. Yn ogystal â hyn, nid oes ganddyn nhw unrhyw ffordd o benderfynu ble mae'r ffordd neu'r palmant yn dechrau chwaith, sydd wedi arwain at achosion o'r rhai sy'n dioddef colled i'w golwg yn cerdded yn syth i'r ffordd. I rywun sydd â phroblemau golwg, mae hwn yn brofiad dryslyd a brawychus iawn. Ceir problemau hefyd y mae marchogion ceffylau yn eu hwynebu. Er enghraifft, mae llwybrau ceffylau wedi eu hisraddio i lwybrau troed a lonydd beicio ar gyfer y cynllun teithio llesol, gan orfodi marchogion i fynd ar y ffyrdd er mwyn cael mynediad at lwybrau marchogaeth addas, sydd yn ei dro yn dod â nhw i gysylltiad â thraffig ffyrdd trwm, weithiau gyda chanlyniadau marwol a pheryglus, fel y gwrthdrawiad diweddar rhwng fan a cheffyl a marchog yn Nhonyrefail, sydd wedi arwain at y marchog yn cael ei dderbyn i'r ysbyty gydag anafiadau lluosog. Rwy'n siŵr y byddwch chi mor bryderus â minnau am rai o'r canlyniadau negyddol hyn, a gyda hyn mewn golwg, Prif Weinidog, pa sicrwydd allwch chi ei roi bod Llywodraeth Cymru wedi asesu anghenion pawb yn ddigonol yng nghyswllt y cynllun teithio llesol, oherwydd, yn amlwg, ceir grwpiau nad ydyn nhw wedi eu hystyried? Diolch.
