English: I have already given the figures to you, and you have the power. You have complete control of local government. Austerity measures, as I have been saying earlier - . Actually, this cut was while you left no money in the Treasury when you took over the Government. Basically - [ Interruption. ] Wait a minute. The Government only cut a penny in the pound, one penny in the pound, to give you - . And you are saying 'austerity' because you're wasting money. Your Government - . Local government - who controls local government? The Labour Party. You imagine: Monmouth and Blaenau Gwent. Think about those authorities. Blaenau Gwent's services to the people and Monmouth. Monmouth's reserves are still below what Monmouth got - their reserves in the banks. Why are they sitting on heaps of money? Why don't they give the public services there? Caerphilly council is increasing by 7 per cent; Merthyr Tydfil, Monmouthshire, Newport, Torfaen by nearly 6 per cent; and Blaenau Gwent by just under 5 per cent. I just told you: think about the reserves and the service they are giving. That is one of the poorest councils in the whole of the United Kingdom. Excessive council tax rises have had a devastating impact on Welsh households. The citizens advice bureaux have labelled council tax as our biggest debt problem in Wales. Local authorities have tried to ensure as much money as possible is directed to front-line services by cutting out waste and unnecessary bureaucracy, but, with statutory services such as schools and social care taking the major part of spending, local authorities have had to look at other services to bear the brunt of cuts. Deputy Presiding Officer, libraries, school crossing patrols, free car parking and leisure centres are among the services that have faced cuts in Wales, drawing widespread public opposition. Deputy Presiding Officer, Labour has failed local government in Wales for the last 20 years. I call on the National Assembly to support our motion and deliver a better, fairer local government settlement in Wales. Thank you.
Welsh: Rwyf eisoes wedi rhoi ffigurau i chi, a gennych chi y mae'r pŵer. Mae gennych reolaeth lwyr ar lywodraeth leol. Mae mesurau cyni, fel y dywedais yn gynharach - . Mewn gwirionedd, roedd y toriad hwn pan nad adawoch chi unrhyw arian ar ôl yn y Trysorlys pan oeddech yn Llywodraeth. Yn y bôn - [ T orri ar draws. ] Arhoswch funud. Toriad o geiniog yn y bunt yn unig a wnaeth y Llywodraeth, un geiniog yn y bunt, i roi - . Ac rydych yn dweud 'cyni' oherwydd eich bod yn gwastraffu arian. Mae eich Llywodraeth chi - . Llywodraeth leol - pwy sy'n rheoli llywodraeth leol? Y Blaid Lafur. Dychmygwch: Mynwy a Blaenau Gwent. Meddyliwch am yr awdurdodau hynny. Gwasanaethau Blaenau Gwent i bobl a Mynwy. Mae cronfeydd wrth gefn Mynwy yn dal i fod yn llai na'r hyn sydd gan Fynwy - eu cronfeydd wrth gefn yn y banciau. Pam y maent yn eistedd ar bentyrrau o arian? Pam na roddant y gwasanaethau cyhoeddus yno? Mae cyngor Caerffili yn codi'r dreth 7 y cant; Merthyr Tudful, Sir Fynwy, Casnewydd, Torfaen bron 6 y cant; a Blaenau Gwent ychydig o dan 5 y cant. Rwyf newydd ddweud wrthych: meddyliwch am y cronfeydd wrth gefn a'r gwasanaeth y maent yn ei roi. Dyna un o'r cynghorau tlotaf yn y Deyrnas Unedig gyfan. Mae codiadau gormodol yn y dreth gyngor wedi cael effaith aruthrol ar aelwydydd Cymru. Mae canolfannau cyngor ar bopeth wedi labelu'r dreth gyngor fel ein problem ddyledion fwyaf yng Nghymru. Mae awdurdodau lleol wedi ceisio sicrhau bod cymaint o arian â phosibl yn cael ei gyfeirio at wasanaethau rheng flaen drwy dorri biwrocratiaeth a gwastraff diangen, ond gyda gwasanaethau statudol fel ysgolion a gofal cymdeithasol yn mynd â'r rhan fwyaf o'r gwariant, mae awdurdodau lleol wedi gorfod edrych ar wasanaethau eraill i ysgwyddo baich toriadau. Ddirprwy Lywydd, mae llyfrgelloedd, hebryngwyr croesfannau ysgol, parcio am ddim a chanolfannau hamdden ymhlith y gwasanaethau sydd wedi wynebu toriadau yng Nghymru, gan ennyn gwrthwynebiad cyhoeddus eang. Ddirprwy Lywydd, mae Llafur wedi gwneud cam â llywodraeth leol yng Nghymru dros yr 20 mlynedd diwethaf. Galwaf ar y Cynulliad Cenedlaethol i gefnogi ein cynnig a sicrhau setliad gwell a thecach i lywodraeth leol yng Nghymru. Diolch.
