English: I thank you for the question. The issue of empty homes is an issue of concern for the Welsh Government. There have been, as you say, some good projects delivered under our empty homes project in particular, but it is an opportunity, really, to look right across our opportunities for regeneration to see how we can turn, for example, empty shops in our high streets into homes. That's something that we're pursuing through our town centre loan scheme, for example. It's something that's been part of our Vibrant and Viable Places project, but could, in the future, form part of our targeted regeneration investment programme. That's a new programme launched in October of last year, which is a £100 million of investment in regeneration. So, I'm keen that, whenever we are thinking about regeneration, we're also thinking in the context of home building and particularly turning empty properties back into homes.
Welsh: Diolch i chi am y cwestiwn. Mae mater cartrefi gwag yn fater o bryder i Lywodraeth Cymru. Fel y dywedwch, mae rhai prosiectau da wedi cael eu cyflawni o dan ein prosiect cartrefi gwag yn arbennig, ond mae'n gyfle, mewn gwirionedd, i edrych ar draws ein cyfleoedd adfywio i weld sut y gallwn droi'r siopau gwag, er enghraifft, ar ein strydoedd mawr yn gartrefi. Mae hynny'n rhywbeth rydym yn mynd ar ei drywydd drwy ein cynllun benthyca canol trefi, er enghraifft. Mae'n rhywbeth sydd wedi bod yn rhan o'n prosiect Lleoedd Llewyrchus Llawn Addewid, ond yn y dyfodol, gallai ffurfio rhan o'n rhaglen buddsoddi mewn adfywio sydd wedi ei thargedu. Rhaglen newydd yw honno a lansiwyd ym mis Hydref y llynedd, sef £100 miliwn o fuddsoddiad mewn adfywio. Felly, pan fyddwn yn meddwl am adfywio, rwy'n awyddus inni feddwl hefyd yng nghyd-destun adeiladu cartrefi, ac yn arbennig, troi eiddo gwag yn ôl yn gartrefi.
English: Yes. Thanks for the answer. I think an holistic approach, as you've advocated, would be good, but I think you need to keep on top of the empty homes situation as a specific issue. Now, in terms of increasing housing supply in other ways, I know that you and Mark Drakeford, the Finance Minister, have been having discussions over a possible vacant land tax. Could you give us any update on the Government's progress on this issue, and how do you think this might help the housing situation if you do agree to proceed with that tax?
Welsh: Ie. Diolch am yr ateb. Rwy'n credu y byddai dull cyfannol, fel rydych wedi'i awgrymu, yn dda, ond credaf fod angen i chi gadw ar ben y sefyllfa mewn perthynas â chartrefi gwag fel mater penodol. Nawr, o ran cynyddu'r cyflenwad tai mewn ffyrdd eraill, gwn eich bod chi a Mark Drakeford, y Gweinidog Cyllid, wedi bod yn trafod y posibilrwydd o dreth ar dir gwag. A allech chi roi unrhyw newyddion i ni am gynnydd y Llywodraeth ar y mater hwn, a sut rydych yn credu y gallai hyn helpu'r sefyllfa dai os byddwch yn cytuno i fwrw ymlaen â'r dreth honno?
English: Well, this is certainly one of those four areas of a potential future Welsh tax that Welsh Government has been considering and has been subject to a poll undertaken by the Welsh Treasury to understand the views that people might have on this as one of the potential four. Obviously, you wouldn't expect me to make any announcement on the way forward today, because it is still a matter for discussion, and I'm sure that the Cabinet Secretary for Finance will be able to provide an update to Members as soon as he's able to do so.
Welsh: Wel, mae hwn yn sicr yn un o'r pedwar maes y mae Llywodraeth Cymru wedi bod yn eu hystyried mewn perthynas â chyflwyno treth bosibl i Gymru yn y dyfodol ac mae wedi bod yn destun arolwg barn a gynhaliwyd gan Drysorlys Cymru er mwyn deall y safbwyntiau a allai fod gan bobl ar hyn fel un o'r pedwar posibl. Yn amlwg, ni fyddech yn disgwyl i mi wneud unrhyw gyhoeddiad ynglŷn â'r ffordd ymlaen heddiw, oherwydd mae'n parhau i fod yn fater sydd angen ei drafod, ac rwy'n siŵr y bydd Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet dros Gyllid yn gallu rhoi'r wybodaeth ddiweddaraf i'r Aelodau cyn gynted ag y gall wneud hynny.
English: Yes, thanks. I appreciate that it's still a work in progress and, of course, it cuts across the finance Minister's portfolio, so I look forward to an update in due course. So, perhaps instead of me pursuing that issue, I could go back to the empty homes problem. Councils in Wales also have the power to take control of empty homes through empty dwelling management orders. Now, the figures show that these orders are hardly being used in Wales at the moment. Is there a case, do you think, that councils should now be guided into using these powers more often?
Welsh: Ie, diolch. Rwy'n deall bod llawer o waith ar y gweill o hyd ac wrth gwrs, mae'n torri ar draws portffolio'r Gweinidog cyllid, felly edrychaf ymlaen at gael y newyddion diweddaraf maes o law. Felly, yn hytrach na mynd ar drywydd y mater hwnnw, efallai y gallwn droi'n ôl at broblem cartrefi gwag. Mae gan gynghorau yng Nghymru bŵer hefyd i gymryd rheolaeth o dai gwag drwy orchmynion rheoli anheddau gwag. Nawr, mae'r ffigurau'n dangos nad yw'r gorchmynion hyn prin yn cael eu defnyddio yng Nghymru ar hyn o bryd. A oes achos, yn eich barn chi, dros gyfarwyddo cynghorau i ddefnyddio'r pwerau hyn yn fwy aml?
English: The way in which the councils generally approach the issue of empty homes tends to be, in the first instance, to try and work with the owner of the property in order to bring that home back into use. But then, if that fails, the empty dwelling management orders are there for local authorities to avail themselves of and I would encourage them to do so if they feel that it is appropriate to do. There are areas of good practice where local authorities are working with the owners of properties. For example, in Swansea, the local authority will work with owners in order to bring a property back into use by providing them with a loan in order to refurbish the property to the necessary standard, but then also guarantee that they will have a secure tenant for two years or more as a result of that. So, I think there are opportunities for local authorities to learn from one another and to explore the good practice that is being undertaken. I'm also keen that local authorities consider as well whether or not to increase the council tax on second homes. That's an option that local authorities can and do take and I think it is a sensible way in order to try and prevent second homes taking over some villages - as we do have a situation in Wales - and that people who do own those homes do contribute to the local area.
Welsh: Mae'r ffordd y mae'r cynghorau yn ymdrin â chartrefi gwag yn gyffredinol yn tueddu i olygu, yn y lle cyntaf, ceisio gweithio gyda pherchennog yr eiddo er mwyn dod â'r cartref hwnnw yn ôl i ddefnydd. Ond wedyn, os yw hynny'n methu, mae'r gorchmynion rheoli anheddau gwag yno i awdurdodau lleol fanteisio arnynt a buaswn yn eu hannog i wneud hynny os ydynt yn teimlo bod hynny'n briodol. Ceir ardaloedd lle y ceir arferion da, gydag awdurdodau lleol yn gweithio gyda pherchnogion eiddo. Er enghraifft, yn Abertawe, bydd yr awdurdod lleol yn gweithio gyda pherchnogion er mwyn dod â'r eiddo yn ôl i ddefnydd drwy roi benthyciad iddynt allu adnewyddu'r eiddo i'r safon angenrheidiol, a gwarantu hefyd wedyn y bydd ganddynt denant diogel am ddwy flynedd neu fwy o ganlyniad i hynny. Felly, credaf fod yna gyfleoedd i awdurdodau lleol ddysgu oddi wrth ei gilydd ac i archwilio'r arferion da sy'n cael eu cyflawni. Rwyf hefyd yn awyddus i awdurdodau lleol ystyried a ddylent gynyddu'r dreth gyngor ar ail gartrefi ai peidio. Mae hwnnw'n opsiwn y gall awdurdodau lleol ei ddewis, ac yn un y maent yn ei ddewis ac rwy'n credu ei bod yn ffordd synhwyrol o geisio atal ail gartrefi rhag llenwi rhai pentrefi - gan fod gennym sefyllfa yng Nghymru - a bod y bobl sy'n berchen ar y cartrefi hynny yn cyfrannu i'r ardal leol.
English: As this is the first time I have questioned you in your new role as the Cabinet Secretary for local government, may I congratulate you and wish you well? I would like to ask you first what sort of style you will adopt in your new role.
Welsh: Gan mai dyma'r tro cyntaf i mi eich holi chi yn eich rôl newydd fel Ysgrifennydd Cabinet dros lywodraeth leol, buaswn i'n hoffi'ch llongyfarch chi a dymuno yn dda iawn i chi. Buaswn i'n licio gofyn yn gyntaf pa fath o steil rydych chi am ei fabwysiadu yn eich rôl newydd.
English: I'm grateful to the Plaid Cymru spokesperson for her kind words at the beginning of our new relationship. I'm not sure that I've ever considered myself as someone who has any sort of style in any way. I may be wrong. The tone I want to adopt in the discussions that I've already started with councillors and council leaders across the country is a tone of respect towards councillors and councils in terms of the work that they do. I said during the debate that we had yesterday on the local government settlement that councillors and council leaders undertake some of the most difficult jobs in Welsh politics at the moment. I was brought up in a home where public services were discussed around the dinner table. My father worked for Tredegar Urban District Council, Blaenau Gwent Borough Council and then Blaenau Gwent County Borough Council, and therefore the services provided by councils are something that I was brought up with. I respect the work that's being done, and I respect the workers that are doing that work.
Welsh: Rwy'n ddiolchgar i lefarydd Plaid Cymru am ei geiriau caredig ar ddechrau ein perthynas newydd. Nid wyf yn siŵr fy mod i erioed wedi ystyried fy hun fel rhywun sydd â steil mewn unrhyw ffordd. Efallai fy mod i'n rong. Y tôn rwyf eisiau ei gymryd yn ystod y drafodaeth yr wyf wedi'i ddechrau yn barod gydag arweinwyr a chynghorwyr ar draws y wlad yw tôn o barch tuag at gynghorwyr a chynghorau ar gyfer y gwaith y maen nhw'n ei wneud. Dywedais i yn ystod y drafodaeth a gawsom ni ar y setliad ddoe mai bod yn gynghorydd ac arweinydd cyngor yw un o'r swyddi mwyaf anodd yng ngwleidyddiaeth Cymru ar hyn o bryd. Cefais fy magu mewn cartref ble roedd gwasanaethau cyhoeddus yn cael eu trafod o gwmpas y ford. Roedd fy nhad wedi gweithio i Tredegar Urban District Council, Blaenau Gwent Borough Council ac wedyn Blaenau Gwent County Borough Council. Felly, mae gwasanaethau cyhoeddus a gwasanaethau cynghorau yn bethau y cefais fy magu gyda nhw. Rwy'n parchu'r gwaith sy'n cael ei wneud ac rwy'n parchu'r gweithwyr sy'n cyflwyno hynny.
English: I agree with you that the relationship that you develop with the leaders of different councils and authorities is key. Your predecessor took the approach of collaboration, with a relationship built on the basis of respect, even though there are tensions that sometimes exist between the Government and local authorities. But that wasn't always true, looking at former Ministers in your party. I remember, when I was a cabinet member in Gwynedd Council, I had experience of one of your predecessors who used the style of an angry headteacher with a cane. Now, that sort of style is never going to get things done. The regionalisation of services is an example of where there is a need to tread carefully, of course, and maintain this important relationship with local authorities. But there is also an approach that needs to be important as well in terms of regionalisation, which is accountability. Even though I support the efforts to ensure that services are run more strategically and are more effective, I am concerned about this approach and losing that accountability. How are you going to ensure that this new level of governance is going to be accountable to councillors and, more importantly perhaps, to the electorate?
Welsh: Rwy'n cytuno efo chi. Wrth gwrs, mae'r berthynas rydych chi'n ei datblygu efo'r awdurdodau ac arweinwyr cynghorau gwahanol yn allweddol. Mi gymerodd eich rhagflaenydd yr ymagwedd o gydweithio, efo perthynas wedi'i hadeiladu ar sail parch, er y tensiynau sydd yn aml yn bodoli rhwng awdurdodau lleol a'r Llywodraeth. Ond nid oedd hynny bob tro yn wir, wrth gwrs, gan edrych ar gyn-Weinidogion eraill o'ch plaid chi. Rydw i yn cofio - pan oeddwn i'n aelod cabinet yng Nghyngor Gwynedd, cefais brofiad o steil un o'ch rhagflaenwyr chi a oedd yn defnyddio steil y prifathro blin efo cansen. Nid yw steil fel yna byth yn mynd i gael y maen i'r wal. Mae rhanbartholi gwasanaethau yn enghraifft o ble mae angen troedio'n ofalus, wrth gwrs, a chynnal y berthynas bwysig yma efo'r awdurdodau lleol, ond mae yna agwedd hefyd sydd angen bod yn bwysig ynglŷn â fo efo rhanbartholi, sef yr atebolrwydd. Er fy mod i'n cefnogi'r ymdrechion i sicrhau bod gwasanaethau'n cael eu rhedeg yn fwy strategol, ac felly yn fwy effeithiol, rwyf yn poeni am yr agwedd yma o golli'r atebolrwydd. Sut ydych chi'n mynd i sicrhau fod yr haen newydd yma o lywodraethu yn mynd i fod yn atebol i gynghorwyr ac, yn bwysicach, efallai, i etholwyr?
English: I agree with the Plaid Cymru spokesperson in her analysis - perhaps not every single word of it, but certainly the main thrust of her message. I understand that. May I say this? I think it's important that we find a balance. This is a discussion I had this morning, as it happens, not just with the leader of Torfaen, who's already been mentioned, but also the leader of Caerphilly, about the tension that exists between ensuring that services are provided at a strategic level, but also ensuring that the way that we deliver services acknowledges the importance of place, and the importance of collaboration with those people who are in receipt of the services. So, there is a tension there on occasion, and we must ensure that we do have services that are delivered at a level that is strategic, robust and that will maintain services of the highest possible quality, but are also accountable and can respond to very localised needs. At the moment, I'm considering where we are in terms of our policy. We know that the Cabinet Secretary for Finance has worked very hard to put in place a new and different vision for local government. I will now be using or drawing upon the work done by the Cabinet Secretary as a foundation to moving forward in ensuring that we can deliver the kind of high-quality services that we all want to see, and in ensuring that that is sustainable for the longer term.
Welsh: Rwy'n cyd-fynd â llefarydd Plaid Cymru a'i dadansoddiad hi - efallai nid pob rhan ohono fe, ond byrdwn ei neges hi. Rwy'n deall hynny. Ond, a gaf fi ddweud hyn? Mae'n bwysig ein bod ni'n ffeindio cydbwysedd. Dyma'r drafodaeth yr oeddwn yn ei gael y bore yma, fel mae'n digwydd, dim jest gydag arweinydd Torfaen, sydd wedi cael ei drafod yn barod, ond hefyd gydag arweinydd Caerffili amboutu'r tensiwn sydd rhwng cael gwasanaethau i ddarparu y lefel sy'n strategol, ond hefyd sicrhau bod sut rŷm ni'n delifro gwasanaethau yn cydnabod pwysigrwydd lleoliad, ac wedyn, pwysigrwydd cydweithio gyda phobl sy'n derbyn gwasanaethau. Felly, mae yna dyndra yn fanna ambell waith, ac mae'n rhaid inni sicrhau bod gyda ni wasanaethau sy'n cael eu delifro ar lefel a fydd yn strategol, yn robust, a fydd yn cynnal gwasanaethau i'r safon uchaf posibl, ond hefyd sydd yn atebol ac yn gallu ymateb i anghenion lleol iawn, iawn, iawn. Rydw i, ar hyn o bryd, yn ystyried ble'r ydym ni gyda'n polisi ni. Rydym ni'n gwybod bod yr Ysgrifennydd Cyllid wedi gweithio'n galed iawn i sicrhau gweledigaeth newydd, gwahanol ar gyfer llywodraeth leol. Byddaf i nawr yn defnyddio'r gwaith mae'r Ysgrifennydd wedi ei wneud fel sylfaen i symud ymlaen i sicrhau ein bod ni'n gallu sicrhau'r math o wasanaethau o ansawdd uchel rydym ni i gyd eisiau eu gweld, a sut rydym ni'n sicrhau bod hynny yn gynaliadwy ar gyfer y tymor hir.
English: I look forward, therefore, to seeing how exactly you're going to sustain that important accountability, which is what I was asking about. Turning now to the electoral system and the White Paper on local government reform, it notes that reforming the electoral system to the single transferable vote would not be mandatory to all councils in Wales and that councils would have a choice to bring it forward or not. In my view, that is a mistake. It would enable some local authorities not to move towards real representation for political reasons, perhaps, or self-interest, or whatever reason. Will you consider that, therefore, and ensure that reforming the electoral system to STV is mandatory for all local authorities in Wales?
Welsh: Edrychaf ymlaen, felly, i weld sut yn union rydych chi'n mynd i gynnal yr atebolrwydd pwysig yna, sef beth roeddwn i'n holi yn ei gylch. Rwy'n troi rwan at y system etholiadol, ac mae'r Papur Gwyn ar ddiwygio llywodraeth leol yn nodi na fyddai diwygio'r system etholiadol i STV yn fandadol i holl gynghorau Cymru. Hynny yw, mi fyddai gan y cynghorau'r dewis i ddod â fo ymlaen ai peidio. Yn fy marn i, mae hynny'n gam gwag a fuasai'n galluogi rhai awdurdodau lleol i beidio â symud tuag at wir gynrychiolaeth, am resymau gwleidyddol, efallai, neu hunan-ddiddordeb, neu ba bynnag reswm, a dweud y gwir. A wnewch chi ystyried hynny, felly, a sicrhau bod diwygio'r system etholiadol i STV yn fandadol i holl awdurdodau lleol Cymru?
English: The Member is tempting me to get onto very dangerous ground here. May I just say that my personal view as an individual is that I support STV? I think that is the system that provides the greatest accountability and provides a fair vote to everyone across the nation - in this place, in local government, and, frankly, in Westminster, too. But I'm not sure that in saying that I represent the views of everyone on these benches and everyone in this Chamber. So, I do intend to proceed with changes in electoral arrangements. I have asked for permission to make an oral statement on that on 30 January, when I will make a clear statement on our way forward in terms of electoral reform for local government in the future.
Welsh: Mae'r Aelod yn fy nhemptio fi i fynd i dir peryglus iawn. A gaf i ddweud hyn? Fy marn bersonol i, fel unigolyn, yw fy mod i'n cefnogi STV. Rydw i'n credu mai dyna'r system sydd yn cynnig y mwyaf o atebolrwydd ac sy'n cynnig pleidlais deg i bawb ar draws y wlad - ar gyfer y lle yma, a llywodraeth leol, a, frankly, San Steffan hefyd. Ond nid ydw i'n siŵr, pan rydw i'n dweud hynny, fy mod i'n cynrychioli barn pawb - pob un ar y meinciau yma ym mhob un rhan o'r Siambr. Felly, rydw i yn bwriadu symud ymlaen gyda newidiadau i drefniadau etholiadol. Rydw i wedi gofyn caniatâd i wneud datganiad llafar ar hynny ar y degfed ar hugain o'r mis yma, pan fyddaf i'n gallu gwneud datganiad clir ar y ffordd rydym ni'n bwriadu symud ymlaen gyda diwygio trefniadau etholiadol ar gyfer llywodraeth leol ar gyfer y dyfodol.
English: Thank you. You are doing really well so far. Keep it up. More than one of your predecessors pledged -
Welsh: Diolch. Rydych yn gwneud yn dda iawn hyd yn hyn. Daliwch ati. Addawodd mwy nag un o'ch rhagflaenwyr -
English: You can do really well by just asking the question because you're four minutes over time.
Welsh: Gallwch chithau wneud yn dda iawn drwy ofyn y cwestiwn yn unig gan eich bod bedair munud dros amser.
English: More than one of your predecessors pledged to introduce webcasting of council meetings and, in doing so, provided £40,000 to each local authority. I have received representations from residents in Conwy, across north Wales and beyond, from as far as the Vale of Glamorgan and Rhondda Cynon Taf, who are concerned that they are unable to access the democratic decision-making processes as council and cabinet meetings are not available via the webcasting systems that your Government has actually provided the funding for. Going forward with the proposed local government Bill, can you confirm for us today - . I know that Mark Drakeford AM, your immediate predecessor, did pledge to make webasting a mandatory requirement. Will you stick to that in any future local government reform?
Welsh: Addawodd mwy nag un o'ch rhagflaenwyr sicrhau y byddai cyfarfodydd cynghorau yn cael eu gweddarlledu, ac wrth wneud hynny, darparasant £40,000 i bob awdurdod lleol. Rwyf wedi derbyn sylwadau gan drigolion yng Nghonwy, ledled gogledd Cymru a thu hwnt, o gyn belled â Bro Morgannwg a Rhondda Cynon Taf, sy'n pryderu nad yw'r prosesau democrataidd o wneud penderfyniadau yn hygyrch iddynt gan nad yw cyfarfodydd cyngor a'r cabinet ar gael drwy'r systemau gweddarlledu y mae eich Llywodraeth wedi darparu cyllid ar eu cyfer. Wrth fwrw ymlaen gyda'r Bil llywodraeth leol arfaethedig, a allwch gadarnhau i ni heddiw - . Gwn fod Mark Drakeford AC, eich rhagflaenydd uniongyrchol, wedi addo sicrhau bod gweddarlledu yn ofyniad gorfodol. A wnewch chi gadw at hynny mewn unrhyw broses o ddiwygio llywodraeth leol yn y dyfodol?
English: I certainly will. I'm looking across at the Cabinet Secretary, hoping that he's going to indicate in some way that he did make that commitment [ Laughter. ] He is. On the basis of that, I reiterate that commitment from the point of view of the Government today.
Welsh: Gwnaf, yn sicr. Rwy'n edrych ar Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet, gan obeithio y bydd yn nodi mewn rhyw ffordd ei fod wedi gwneud yr ymrwymiad hwnnw [ Chwerthin. ] Mae wedi gwneud hynny. Ar sail hynny, rwy'n ailddatgan yr ymrwymiad hwnnw ar ran y Llywodraeth heddiw.
English: Local authority services play a vitally important role in the lives of all citizens in Wales. The Welsh Government continues to protect funding for all our local authorities, so that those vital services, both statutory and non-statutory, can go on being provided. Local service delivery, however, is for local determination.
Welsh: Mae gwasanaethau awdurdodau lleol yn chwarae rhan hollbwysig ym mywyd pob dinesydd yng Nghymru. Mae Llywodraeth Cymru yn parhau i ddiogelu cyllid ar gyfer ein holl awdurdodau lleol, fel y gall y gwasanaethau hanfodol hynny, y rhai statudol a'r rhai anstatudol, barhau i gael eu darparu. Mae darpariaeth gwasanaethau lleol, fodd bynnag, yn fater i'w benderfynu'n lleol.
English: Cabinet Secretary, leisure services are vital to health and quality of life and enjoyment for our people here in Wales. Will you join me in recognising the value and the contribution of Newport Live, which delivers recreational, sport and cultural services? I've been involved in a number of meetings they've had with Aneurin Bevan Local Health Board and a range of partners, including Newport City Council, to ensure that we do take steps to get our local population more active. I believe that that's testament to the breadth of the vision that Newport Live have and the contribution they are making. Most recently, they succeeded in a bid to bring the transplant games to Newport, which will have very obvious benefits. So, I would be very pleased if you would join me today, Cabinet Secretary, in recognising the contribution that they make and commit Welsh Government to continue working with them and key partners to bring these benefits to the local population.
Welsh: Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet, mae gwasanaethau hamdden yn hanfodol i iechyd ac ansawdd bywyd a mwynhad ein pobl yma yng Nghymru. A wnewch ymuno â mi i gydnabod gwerth a chyfraniad Casnewydd Fyw, sy'n darparu gwasanaethau hamdden, chwaraeon a diwylliannol? Rwyf wedi cymryd rhan mewn nifer o gyfarfodydd y maent wedi eu cael gyda Bwrdd Iechyd Lleol Aneurin Bevan ac amrywiaeth o bartneriaid, gan gynnwys Cyngor Dinas Casnewydd, i sicrhau ein bod yn cymryd camau i ysgogi ein poblogaeth leol i fod yn fwy egnïol. Credaf fod hynny'n dyst i ehangder gweledigaeth Casnewydd Fyw a'r cyfraniad y maent yn ei wneud. Yn ddiweddar, cawsant lwyddiant gydag ymgais i ddenu'r gemau trawsblaniadau i Gasnewydd, a fydd yn arwain at fuddion amlwg iawn. Felly, buaswn yn falch iawn pe baech yn ymuno â mi heddiw, Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet, i gydnabod y cyfraniad y maent yn ei wneud, ac yn ymrwymo Llywodraeth Cymru i barhau i weithio gyda hwy a phartneriaid allweddol er mwyn sicrhau bod y boblogaeth leol yn elwa o'r manteision hyn.
