English: Can I call for three statements from the leader of the house today on behalf of the Government? The first is in relation to the trunk road network and its maintenance. The leader of the house will be aware that there have been significant delays on the A55 in north Wales recently, in my own constituency, as a result of roadworks that have caused a closure in Llanddulas. The tailbacks have been as long as eight miles, with delays of in excess of half an hour for traffic going in either direction. Now, we were assured at that time - my constituents were assured - that work would be ongoing 24/7 in order to keep those delays and the disruption to a minimum, but unfortunately it would appear that the works are shutting down completely on some evenings, which is completely not in accordance with the assurances that were provided to my constituents, so I wonder whether you could have the Cabinet Secretary with responsibility for the trunk road network provide an update to my constituents in order that they can be reassured that this disruption will be at an absolute minimum in the future and that work throughout the night will be taking place for the duration of the rest of the works. Secondly, can I call for a statement from the Minister for Environment? It's been a regular call of mine to address the problems in terms of the Old Colwyn coastal defences, and I was very grateful for the fact that the Minister visited my constituency to inspect the defences for herself. But, in spite of the very positive meeting that took place, I've recently received a letter from the Minister that seems to suggest that this is not a priority for the Welsh Government and that there will not be the usual level of grant funding made available in order that the scheme can take place, because residential homes are less likely to benefit than the Government seems to imagine. Now, of course, this is a part of the coastal defence network that protects the vital transport infrastructure that is the north Wales railway line and the A55 trunk road and protects the sewerage system for the whole of the bay of Colwyn. So, quite how it can be suggested that this isn't benefiting homes and businesses is beyond me. Now, it's going to take the Welsh Government to actually get to grips with this problem and bring the various parties together that need to make a contribution to the works, and I have to say I'm astounded to have received this letter, and so was the local authority, following that meeting, which I thought was very productive. So, I would be grateful if there could be a statement on coastal defences from the Minister and she could explain the situation. And, finally, can I call for a statement on red squirrels? People know that I'm the red squirrel champion here in the National Assembly, and I had the opportunity to visit some of the excellent conservation work that is taking place in the Clocaenog forest in my constituency and on Ynys Môn, which is being undertaken by the Red Squirrels Trust in Wales in partnership with Red Squirrels United. This week is Red Squirrels Awareness Week, and the Welsh Mountain Zoo in my constituency is part of an international breeding programme for this very important protected species. I would be grateful to know what action the Welsh Government is going to take so that the good work that is being done by these projects will be able to continue once the current grant funding comes to an end next year. Thank you.
Welsh: A gaf i alw am dri datganiad gan arweinydd y tŷ heddiw ar ran y Llywodraeth? Yn gyntaf, o ran y rhwydwaith cefnffyrdd a chynnal a chadw'r rhwydwaith hwnnw. Bydd arweinydd y tŷ yn gwybod y bu oedi sylweddol ar yr A55 yn y Gogledd yn ddiweddar, yn fy etholaeth i fy hun, o ganlyniad i gau'r ffordd oherwydd y gwaith yn Llanddulas. Mae'r tagfeydd wedi bod cyhyd ag wyth milltir, gydag oedi i draffig o fwy na hanner awr ym mhob cyfeiriad. Nawr, rhoddwyd sicrwydd i ni ar y pryd - rhoddwyd sicrwydd i fy etholwyr - y byddai'r gwaith yn digwydd 24/7 er mwyn cael cyn lleied â phosib o oedi ac amharu. Ond yn anffodus ymddengys nad oes gwaith yn digwydd o gwbl ambell i noson, ac nid yw hyn yn gyson â'r sicrwydd a roddwyd i fy etholwyr o gwbl. Felly, tybed a oes modd ichi ofyn i Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet sy'n gyfrifol am y rhwydwaith cefnffyrdd roi'r wybodaeth ddiweddaraf i fy etholwyr i roi tawelwch meddwl iddyn nhw y bydd cyn lleied â phosib o oedi yn y dyfodol ac y bydd gwaith yn cael ei gynnal drwy gydol y nos nes cwblheir y gwaith. Yn ail, a gaf i alw am ddatganiad gan y Gweinidog dros yr Amgylchedd? Rwyf wedi bod yn galw yn rheolaidd i fynd i'r afael â phroblemau o amddiffynfeydd arfordir Hen Golwyn, ac roeddwn yn ddiolchgar iawn bod y Gweinidog wedi ymweld â fy etholaeth i arolygu'r amddiffynfeydd ei hun. Ond, er gwaetha'r ffaith bod y cyfarfod a gynhaliwyd yn gadarnhaol iawn, rwyf wedi cael llythyr yn ddiweddar gan y Gweinidog yr ymddengys ei fod yn awgrymu nad yw hon yn flaenoriaeth i Lywodraeth Cymru ac na fydd y lefel arferol o arian grant ar gael i weithredu'r cynllun, oherwydd ei bod yn llai tebygol y bydd cartrefi preswyl yn elwa nag y mae'r Llywodraeth yn ei ddychmygu. Nawr, wrth gwrs, mae hyn yn rhan o rwydwaith amddiffyn yr arfordir sy'n diogelu seilwaith trafnidiaeth hanfodol, sef y gefnffordd A55 a rheilffordd Gogledd Cymru ac sy'n gwarchod y system garthffosiaeth ar gyfer Bae Colwyn cyfan. Felly, sut yn union y gellir awgrymu nad yw hyn o fudd i gartrefi a busnesau, mae hyn y tu hwnt i mi. Nawr, bydd angen i Lywodraeth Cymru fynd i'r afael â'r broblem hon a dwyn ynghyd y gwahanol bartïon y mae angen iddyn nhw gyfrannu at y gwaith, ac mae'n rhaid imi ddweud fy mod wedi fy syfrdanu i gael y llythyr hwn, ac roedd yr awdurdod lleol wedi'i syfrdanu hefyd, yn dilyn y cyfarfod hwnnw a oedd, yn fy marn i, yn gynhyrchiol iawn. Felly, byddwn yn ddiolchgar cael datganiad gan y Gweinidog ar amddiffynfeydd yr arfordir a phe gallai egluro'r sefyllfa. Ac, yn olaf, a gaf i alw am ddatganiad ar wiwerod coch? Mae pobl yn gwybod fy mod yn hyrwyddwr y wiwer goch yma yn y Cynulliad Cenedlaethol. Daeth cyfle imi ymweld â'r gwaith cadwraeth ardderchog sy'n digwydd yng nghoedwig Clocaenog yn fy etholaeth i ac ar Ynys Môn, sy'n cael ei gynnal gan Ymddiriedolaeth Gwiwerod Coch Cymru mewn partneriaeth â Red Squirrels United. Yr wythnos hon mae'n Wythnos Ymwybyddiaeth o Wiwerod Coch, ac mae'r Sw Fynydd Gymreig yn fy etholaeth i yn rhan o raglen fridio ryngwladol ar gyfer y rhywogaeth warchodedig bwysig iawn hon. Byddwn yn ddiolchgar o gael gwybod pa gamau y mae Llywodraeth Cymru yn mynd i'w cymryd fel y bydd y gwaith da a wneir gan y prosiectau hyn yn gallu parhau ar ôl i'r cyllid grant cyfredol ddod i ben y flwyddyn nesaf. Diolch.
