English: Can I thank Hannah Blythyn for her questions? I do recognise the need to ensure that the metro vision extends right across the entire region and to communities within the constituency of Delyn. I take the point regarding the title of the corridor proposal, and now that I've been able to announce that it is the red route that will be taken forward, I think we can revise the naming of the project to, perhaps, the north Wales corridor or the Flintshire corridor. I do think that businesses and the population of the region will welcome today's announcement. The project announced £250 million of investment in north-east Wales, and is part of a £600 million investment across infrastructure in the region of north Wales - something that many businesses have called for time and again. I would hope that Members, whilst being sympathetic to their own constituents, would also consider that a regional, strategic approach to economic development and transport is of the utmost priority for north Wales. I am very, very sympathetic - I really do like the idea of a St Winefride's stop or a Greenfield stop as part of the metro, and I'll certainly be asking the steering group to consider that as a very real, potential project. I think that there is also potential to have smaller scale hubs in other towns within Delyn, including the historic market town of Mold and in Flint, to ensure that large towns and small villages are better connected to the larger employment hubs and to rail services as well. In terms of the community benefits that could stem from this project, clearly £0.25 billion is a very significant investment, and I would imagine that there will be huge potential for community schemes to draw down funding, direct, and in-kind assistance as well. Theatr Clwyd I am very keen to see invested in. It's overdue a programme of modernisation and its capital project, I think, is very ambitious and has widespread support. So, I'd be more than happy to see that Theatr Clwyd is placed in a position where it is able to benefit significantly as a community benefit scheme. In terms of Oakenholt and Flint and other communities that are near to the red route, the local development plan will determine much of the land that is earmarked for domestic building. Flintshire County Council, as the planning authority, will also be responsible for ensuring that any development that takes place is proportionate and that the community is able to accommodate any additional homes. I do believe that communities such as Oakenholt have a very distinctive character and a strong identity, and I would not wish those to be diluted through the encroachment of other communities onto Oakenholt or, indeed, a significant expansion of that particular community. Likewise, the other communities in the area - Northop Hall, Northop and Flint - I think it's essential that they retain their identities and their unique characteristics. The Member also asked about signage and how we will ensure that traffic that could use the new red route does use the new red route. It's my intention to ensure that, as traffic comes off the M56 and on to the A494, there is ample signage in place to ensure that traffic wishing to access the A55 is able to be directed onto it. In terms of the design process that will now be followed, I am confident that, through our new Welsh transport appraisal guidance scheme, we'll be able to ensure that the well-being of future generations Act is adhered to. I think, so far, the process that we've followed has indeed recognised the ways of working that are promoted by the Act, including the inclusive way that we've gone about speaking with residents, engaging with residents, and inviting comment from residents and businesses. Of the more than 2,500 responses to the consultation, approximately 1,800 were in favour of the red route. There is considerable support for this project, and, again, I'm confident that this will lead to an improvement in the competitiveness and the connectivity of north-east Wales.
Welsh: A gaf i ddiolch i Hannah Blythyn am ei chwestiynau? Rwy'n cydnabod yr angen i sicrhau bod y weledigaeth metro yn ymestyn ar draws y rhanbarth cyfan ac i gymunedau yn etholaeth Delyn. Rwy'n derbyn y sylw ynglŷn â theitl cynnig y coridor, ac nawr fy mod wedi gallu cyhoeddi mai'r llwybr coch fydd yn cael ei ddatblygu, rwy'n credu y gallwn addasu enw'r prosiect, efallai, i goridor gogledd Cymru neu goridor Sir y Fflint. Rwyf yn credu y bydd busnesau a phoblogaeth y rhanbarth yn croesawu cyhoeddiad heddiw. Cyhoeddodd y prosiect £250 miliwn o fuddsoddiad yn y gogledd-ddwyrain, ac mae'n rhan o fuddsoddiad gwerth £600 miliwn ar draws seilwaith yn rhanbarth y gogledd - rhywbeth y mae llawer o fusnesau wedi galw amdano dro ar ôl tro. Rwy'n gobeithio y bydd Aelodau, wrth ddangos cydymdeimlad â'u hetholwyr eu hunain, hefyd yn ystyried mai meithrin agwedd ranbarthol, strategol tuag at ddatblygu economaidd a thrafnidiaeth yw'r brif flaenoriaeth ar gyfer y gogledd. Rwy'n hoff iawn, iawn - rwyf yn wirioneddol hoffi'r syniad o gael arhosfa y Santes Gwenffrewi neu arhosfa Maes Glas yn rhan o'r metro, a byddaf yn sicr yn gofyn i'r grŵp llywio ystyried hynny fel prosiect gwirioneddol bosib a dichonadwy. Credaf hefyd bod modd cael canolfannau ar raddfa lai mewn trefi eraill yn Nelyn, gan gynnwys tref farchnad hanesyddol yr Wyddgrug ac yn y Fflint, er mwyn sicrhau bod trefi mawr a phentrefi bach wedi'u cysylltu'n well â'r canolfannau cyflogaeth mwy ac i wasanaethau rheilffordd hefyd. O ran y manteision cymunedol a allai ddeillio o'r prosiect hwn, mae'n amlwg bod £0.25 biliwn yn fuddsoddiad sylweddol iawn, a byddwn yn dychmygu y bydd potensial enfawr i gynlluniau cymunedol dynnu arian, cymorth uniongyrchol a chymorth mewn adnoddau yn ogystal . Rwy'n awyddus iawn i weld buddsoddi yn Theatr Clwyd. Mae hi'n hen bryd iddi gael rhaglen foderneiddio ac mae ei phrosiect cyfalaf, rwy'n credu, yn uchelgeisiol iawn ac mae ganddo gefnogaeth eang. Felly, byddwn yn fwy na pharod i weld bod Theatr Clwyd yn cael ei rhoi mewn sefyllfa lle y gall elwa'n sylweddol fel cynllun budd cymunedol. O ran Oakenholt a'r Fflint a chymunedau eraill sy'n agos at y llwybr coch, bydd y cynllun datblygu lleol yn pennu llawer o'r tir sydd wedi'i glustnodi ar gyfer adeiladu tai arno. Bydd Cyngor Sir y Fflint, fel yr awdurdod cynllunio, hefyd yn gyfrifol am sicrhau bod unrhyw ddatblygiad sy'n digwydd yn gymesur a bod y gymuned yn gallu darparu ar gyfer unrhyw gartrefi ychwanegol. Rwy'n credu bod gan gymunedau fel Oakenholt gymeriad nodedig iawn a hunaniaeth gref, ac ni fyddwn yn dymuno i'r elfennau hynny gael eu gwanhau wrth i gymunedau eraill ymledu i Oakenholt neu, yn wir, wrth i'r gymuned benodol honno ehangu yn sylweddol. Yn yr un modd, y cymunedau eraill yn yr ardal - Northop Hall, Llaneurgain a'r Fflint - rwy'n credu ei bod hi'n hanfodol eu bod yn cadw eu hunaniaeth a'u nodweddion unigryw. Gofynnodd yr Aelod hefyd am arwyddion a sut y byddwn yn sicrhau bod traffig a allai ddefnyddio'r llwybr coch newydd yn defnyddio'r llwybr coch newydd. Fy mwriad yw sicrhau, wrth i'r traffig ddod oddi ar yr M56 ac ymlaen i'r A494, bod digon o arwyddion i'w gweld i sicrhau bod traffig sy'n dymuno defnyddio'r A55 yn gallu cael ei gyfeirio y ffordd honno. O ran y broses ddylunio a fydd yn cael ei dilyn nawr, rwy'n hyderus, trwy ein cynllun arweiniol ar arfarnu trafnidiaeth Cymru, y byddwn yn gallu sicrhau y cydymffurfir â Deddf llesiant cenedlaethau'r dyfodol. Rwy'n credu, hyd yn hyn, bod y broses yr ydym ni wedi ei dilyn wir wedi cydnabod y ffyrdd o weithio mae'r Ddeddf yn eu hyrwyddo, gan gynnwys y ffordd gynhwysol yr ydym ni wedi mynd ati i siarad â phreswylwyr, ymgysylltu â phreswylwyr, a gwahodd sylwadau gan drigolion a busnesau. O'r mwy na 2,500 o ymatebion i'r ymgynghoriad, roedd tua 1,800 o blaid y llwybr coch. Mae cryn gefnogaeth i'r prosiect hwn, a hefyd, rwy'n hyderus y bydd hyn yn arwain at welliant yng nghystadleurwydd a chysylltedd gogledd-ddwyrain Cymru.
