English: So, business rates reform is a matter for the Minister for Finance and Local Government. When it comes to the rates relief system, of course, we've announced rates relief for a range of businesses and we'd encourage businesses to make sure that they take up their entitlement to the 50 per cent rates relief. Now, having had, essentially, no business rates in a range of those areas to then having any business rates return will be a challenge for some businesses, compounded, of course, by the cost-of-living crisis, which is something for both the customers of those businesses as well as the businesses themselves, which will have their own energy bills as well. So, the retail vision that we're working on is actually even more important, I think, about what we can do together to make sure that we do have a thriving and positive future for retail, both large and small. And, of course, when it comes to the business of how we have effective town centres, it's partly about a sense of place and what people think makes the place they live in special, as well as where you might visit as well. That's why we're trialling something called NearMeNow to provide small businesses and high streets with greater digital marketing capability. Because actually, as well as physical footfall, we know that lots of those businesses didn't have a digital presence pre the pandemic, and it's something that can generate footfall if people can collect items from those businesses and then look at other purchases while they're there. We continue to work with not just the FSB, but others on what the future vision for retail will be, and it's definitely entwined with the work that the Deputy Minister is leading on climate change, but also my portfolio on how we do generate a greater return for thriving high streets and places.
Welsh: Mater i'r Gweinidog Cyllid a Llywodraeth Leol yw diwygio ardrethi busnes. O ran y system rhyddhad ardrethi, wrth gwrs, rydym wedi cyhoeddi rhyddhad ardrethi i ystod o fusnesau a byddem yn annog busnesau i sicrhau eu bod yn manteisio ar eu hawl i'r rhyddhad ardrethi o 50 y cant. Nawr, mae'n her i rai busnesu newid i gael rhywfaint o ardrethi busnes ar ôl peidio â chael unrhyw ardrethi busnes yn y bôn mewn amryw o'r meysydd hynny, a chaiff hynny ei ddwysáu, wrth gwrs, gan yr argyfwng costau byw, sy'n rhywbeth i gwsmeriaid y busnesau hynny yn ogystal â'r busnesau eu hunain, a fydd â'u biliau ynni eu hunain hefyd. Felly, mae'r weledigaeth fanwerthu yr ydym yn gweithio arni hyd yn oed yn bwysicach, rwy'n credu, o ran yr hyn y gallwn ei wneud gyda'n gilydd i sicrhau bod gennym ddyfodol ffyniannus a chadarnhaol ar gyfer manwerthu, yn siopau mawr a bach. Ac wrth gwrs, mae cael canol trefi effeithiol yn ymwneud yn rhannol ag ymdeimlad o le a'r hyn y mae pobl yn ei feddwl sy'n gwneud y lle y maent yn byw ynddo'n arbennig, yn ogystal â lle y gallech ymweld ag ef hefyd. Dyna pam ein bod yn treialu rhywbeth o'r enw NearMeNow i ddarparu mwy o allu marchnata digidol i fusnesau bach a strydoedd mawr. Oherwydd mewn gwirionedd, yn ogystal â'r nifer o ymwelwyr corfforol, gwyddom nad oedd gan lawer o'r busnesau hynny bresenoldeb digidol cyn y pandemig, ac mae'n rhywbeth a all gynhyrchu ymwelwyr os gall pobl gasglu eitemau o'r busnesau hynny ac edrych ar bryniannau eraill tra byddant yno. Rydym yn parhau i weithio nid yn unig gyda'r Ffederasiwn Busnesau Bach, ond gydag eraill hefyd ar beth fydd y weledigaeth ar gyfer manwerthu yn y dyfodol, ac mae'n bendant yn cydgysylltu â'r gwaith y mae'r Dirprwy Weinidog yn ei arwain ar newid hinsawdd, ond hefyd fy mhortffolio i ar sut i greu mwy o elw ar gyfer strydoedd mawr a lleoedd ffyniannus.
