English: Thank you, Mabon. When I say that the question is an interesting one, it means that I don't really know what the answer is, doesn't it? I mean, I'm waiting to see what the direction of the strategic planning will be. It's quite interesting that, in Gwynedd, we have developed a local development plan on a joint basis with Anglesey, but we have now both decided to pursue our own paths, because our aspirations are, perhaps, different. So, it comes back to the question: what is the appropriate level at which to make those decisions? And in terms of the north Wales region, there are huge differences between the eastern counties and the western counties. That is, we have counties with a strong industrial base, and in the west, we are in deeply rural areas that have very, very different issues that need different solutions. So, I question whether it is on a north Wales-wide basis we should be making these strategic plans. But, ultimately, whatever the questions that arise with regards to planning, I'm not sure what the CJC adds to these issues - what additional value the CJC adds to the development of our functions. Yes, it is a collaborative body, but we could do that work in other ways without having to create another layer of Government, to be honest, and I question that. Thank you.
Welsh: Diolch, Mabon. Pan ddywedaf fod y cwestiwn yn ddiddorol, mae'n golygu fy mod i ddim yn gwybod beth yw'r ateb, a dweud y gwir, onid ydy? Hynny ydy, dwi'n aros i weld beth fydd cyfeiriad y cynllunio strategol. Mae'n eithaf diddorol ein bod ni, yng Ngwynedd, wedi datblygu cynllun datblygu lleol ar y cyd ag Ynys Môn, ond mae'r ddau ohonom ni bellach wedi penderfynu mynd ar ein trywydd ein hunain, oherwydd bod ein dyheadau ni, hwyrach, yn wahanol. Felly, mae'n dod nôl i'r cwestiwn: ble mae'r lefel priodol i wneud y penderfyniadau yna? Ac o safbwynt rhanbarth y gogledd, mae yna wahaniaethau anferthol rhwng siroedd y dwyrain a siroedd y gorllewin. Hynny ydy, mae gennym ni siroedd sydd â sylfaen ddiwydiannol gref, ac yn y gorllewin rydyn ni mewn ardaloedd gwledig iawn sydd â phroblemau ac atebion gwahanol iawn, iawn. Dwi'n cwestiynu ai ar lefel y gogledd cyfan y dylai fod yna gynllunio strategol. Ond yn y pen draw, beth bynnag yw'r cwestiynau sy'n codi ynglŷn â'r cynllunio, dwi ddim yn siŵr iawn beth mae'r cyd-bwyllgor yn ei ychwanegu ato fo - pa werth ychwanegol mae'r cyd-bwyllgor corfforedig yn ei rhoi inni ddatblygu ein swyddogaethau. Iawn, mae o'n gorff inni gydweithio ag o, ond gallem ni wneud hynny mewn dulliau eraill heb orfod creu haen arall o Lywodraeth, mewn difrif, a dwi'n cwestiynu hynny. Diolch.
English: And likewise, Chris.
Welsh: Ac yn yr un modd, felly, Chris.
English: Thank you. The truth is that many of these ideas are controversial. When one looks at any sort of city region developments across the world and the way that they create benefit and economic growth, some of those elements are present - so, some sort of spatial planning, an integrated transport system, some sort of digital infrastructure and collaborative working. So, there is evidence that working in this method creates benefit, creates growth on an economic level. But of course, you have to consider as well the context and the circumstances. And what we've heard this morning in reality is that the regions and areas in Wales have interpreted the benefit that arises from being part of this sort of collaborative arrangement completely differently, and that is quite valid. The committees will be likely to develop in different ways, according to demand. The importance, I think, is that we always deputise or devolve to a level that's suitable for the local circumstances and the circumstances that exist at the time. Thank you.
Welsh: Diolch. Y gwirionedd yw bod lot o'r syniadau yma yn ddadleuol. Pan mae rhywun yn edrych ar unrhyw fath o ddatblygiadau dinasranbarthol ledled y byd, a'r ffordd maen nhw'n creu budd a thwf economaidd, mae rhai o'r elfennau yma'n bresennol - hynny yw, rhyw fath o gynllunio gofodol, system drafnidiaeth integredig, rhyw fath o seilwaith digidol, a gweithio ar y cyd. So, mae yna dystiolaeth bod gweithio yn y dull yma yn creu budd, yn creu twf economaidd. Ond wrth gwrs, mae'n rhaid ystyried hefyd y cyd-destun a'r amgylchiadau. A beth ŷn ni wedi clywed y bore yma mewn gwirionedd yw bod y gwahanol ranbarthau yng Nghymru wedi dehongli y budd sy'n codi o'r math yma o drefnu a gweithio ar y cyd yn wahanol, ac mae hynny'n gwbl ddilys. Fe fydd y pwyllgorau yn debygol o ddatblygu mewn gwahanol ffyrdd yn ôl y galw. Y pwysigrwydd, byddwn i'n amau, yw ein bod ni drwy'r amser yn dirprwyo neu'n datganoli i'r lefel sy'n addas ar gyfer yr amgylchiadau lleol, a'r amgylchiadau sy'n bodoli ar y pryd. Diolch.
English: The other core element that you've touched on, of course, is transport - Daniel spoke about transport in his response there. I note that Rob mentioned that at least in the south-west, this is going to be beneficial in terms of developing the metro. But does anybody else want to contribute to that transport element? Are these CJCs going to be beneficial with regard to ensuring co-ordination of transport in your regions? Bryan had his hand up there.
Welsh: Yr elfen graidd arall, wrth gwrs, dŷch chi wedi cyffwrdd arni ydy trafnidiaeth - roedd Daniel wedi sôn ychydig am drafnidiaeth yn fanno. Rwy'n nodi bod Rob wedi sôn, o leiaf yn y de-orllewin, eich bod chi'n gweld hyn yn mynd i fod yn fanteisiol o ran datblygu'r metro. Oes yna unrhyw un arall eisiau cyfrannu ychydig ar yr elfen drafnidiaeth yna? Ydy'r cyd-bwyllgorau yma'n mynd i fod o fudd o ran sicrhau cydlynu a thrafnidiaeth yn y rhanbarth yna? Dwi'n gweld Bryan efo'i law i fyny i gychwyn.
English: Thank you, Mabon. In the initial meeting of the CJC, we could see the frustrations once again with regard to a rural area where you're reliant on small businesses to create the bus services. Because of austerity, and the cost of fuel, companies are finding it difficult. Because of our location in west Wales, for example, it's difficult to attract these large companies to be part of that service, so that is a frustration. One point, perhaps - and this weaves everything together - in terms of the SDP and the CJCs as a whole is perhaps the input from officers, are the correct resources there, do we need more resources so that the CJCs officers can do their work. Because they are doing a lot of work in the background. In terms of the SDP, you're reliant on planning expertise there. I'm aware that there is a shortage of planning expertise across Wales, so do we need more resource just in terms of that planning element? But definitely, in terms of the transport, we have targeted that, and we do see it, really, as a problem. I'm not sure how we can provide a solution to it.
Welsh: Diolch. Yng nghyfarfod cychwynnol y CJC roedden ni'n gweld y rhwystredigaethau unwaith eto am ardal wledig sy'n ddibynnol ar gwmnïau bach i greu'r gwasanaethau bysus. Oherwydd efo llymder a phethau, a hefyd costau tanwydd, mae'r cwmnïau yna ei gweld hi'n anodd. Ond achos ein lleoliad ni yng ngorllewin Cymru, mae'n anodd i gael y cwmnïau mawr i fod yn rhan o'r gwasanaethau hynny, felly mae hwnna'n rwystredigaeth. Un pwynt efallai - ac mae hwn efallai yn plethu'r cwbl gyda'i gilydd - o ran yr SDP a hefyd y CJCs yn gyfan gwbl yw'r mewnbwn oddi wrth swyddogion, a ydy'r adnoddau cywir yna, oes eisiau rhagor o adnodd arnom ni fel CJCs fel bod y swyddogion hyn yn gallu gwneud gwaith. Achos maen nhw yn gwneud tipyn o waith yn y cefndir. O ran yr SDP, rwyt ti'n ddibynnol ar arbenigedd cynllunio hefyd. Dwi'n ymwybodol bod prinder dychrynllyd o swyddogion cynllunio ar draws Cymru, felly oes eisiau rhoi rhagor o adnodd dim ond ar gyfer yr elfen gynllunio yna? Ond na, yn bendant o ran y trafnidiaeth, ŷn ni wedi targedu hwnnw, ac yn ei weld e, a dweud y gwir, yn broblem. Dwi ddim yn siŵr sut allwn ni wneud datrysiad iddo fe ar hyn o bryd.
English: Thank you. Again, on transport, there are very effective partnerships that have been in place in the past in terms of planning transport across regions, and of course, a sub-committee of the CJC will be doing that work - hopefully as effectively, if not more effectively. One problem that I have specifically in Gwynedd - and Mabon ap Gwynfor will be aware of this - is that in the south of the county, the old Meirionnydd, it's very important for us to be part of regional discussions in mid Wales. I am concerned that we could be losing that element of collaboration. There has been excellent collaboration in the past in mid Wales between Gwynedd and Powys and Ceredigion, and it is vital that we retain those links. The same old story from me, Mabon, is that the A55 isn't relevant to us in central Meirionnydd. The roads to Shrewsbury and the A470 are far more important. I don't know how much attention they receive. I am concerned that the footprint with regard to transport is incorrect, to be honest with you. Thank you.
Welsh: Diolch. Eto, ar drafnidiaeth, mae yna bartneriaethau effeithiol iawn wedi bod yn y gorffennol yn cynllunio trafnidiaeth ar draws rhanbarthau, ac wrth gwrs, mi fydd is-bwyllgor o'r cyd-bwyllgor yn gwneud y gwaith yna - dwi'n gobeithio yr un mor effeithiol; o bosib yn fwy effeithiol. Un problem sydd gen i yn benodol yng Ngwynedd ydy - ac mi fydd Mabon ap Gwynfor yn ymwybodol o hyn - yn ne'r sir, sef yr hen Feirionnydd, mae hi'n bwysig iawn i ni fod yn rhan o'r trafodaethau rhanbarthol yn y canolbarth. Dwi'n bryderus y gallem ni fod yn colli'r elfen yna o gydweithio. Mae yna gydweithio arbennig iawn wedi bod yn y gorffennol yn y canolbarth rhwng Gwynedd a Phowys a Cheredigion, ac mae'n hanfodol ein bod ni'n cadw'r cysylltiad yna. Hen bregeth gen i, Mabon, fel y gwyddost ti, yw nad ydy'r A55 ddim yn berthnasol i ni yng nghanol Meirionnydd. Mae'r ffyrdd sy'n arwain i Amwythig ac i lawr yr A470 yn llawer iawn pwysicach. Dwi ddim yn siŵr faint o sylw mae'r rheini'n ei gael, a dwi yn bryderus am hynny, bod yr ôl troed, mewn difrif, a'r drafnidiaeth yn anghywir, a bod yn onest. Diolch.
English: Thank you, Dyfrig. Does anyone else want to contribute? Anthony.
Welsh: Diolch, Dyfrig. Oes yna rywun arall sydd eisiau cyfrannu? Anthony.
English: Thank you, Anthony. Are there other contributions on the transport element? Bryan.
Welsh: Diolch, Anthony. Oes yna gyfraniad arall ar yr elfen drafnidiaeth? Bryan.
English: Thank you for coming back to me. There has already been mention there of bus routes, for example. In terms of planning applications now, particularly with affordable homes, it's essential that those applications come before us where there is a bus route. So, if we're finding it difficult to maintain that bus service in rural areas, that has a knock-on effect, then, on planning applications in the future and also the local development plan. So, this is such an important element in terms of where transport weaves into planning.
Welsh: Diolch am ddod nôl. Mae eisoes wedi bod sôn yn fanna o ran llwybrau bysus, er enghraifft. O ran ceisiadau cynllunio nawr, yn enwedig gyda thai fforddiadwy, mae'n hanfodol bod y ceisiadau yna'n dod gerbron lle mae llwybr bws. Os ŷn ni'n ei gweld hi'n anodd i gynnal y gwasanaeth bws yna mewn ardaloedd gwledig, mae hynny'n cael knock-on effect wedyn ar geisiadau cynllunio i'r dyfodol a hefyd y cynllun datblygu lleol. Felly, mae hon yn elfen mor bwysig, lle mae trafnidiaeth yn plethu i mewn gyda chynllunio.
English: Yes, thank you, Carolyn. In terms of mid Wales, looking at Ceredigion and Powys, two rural areas, but a very large area as well. There's a new leader in Powys, James Gibson-Watt, and I feel that there's good collaboration between both of us. He acknowledges perhaps that, in the last administration, there was more closeness with Powys towards England rather than Ceredigion, but I have been convinced that he wants to work more with Ceredigion than England. In terms of geography, we have similar challenges to the coastal areas such as Anglesey and Gwynedd. We work with the Arfor project, for example, and we feel that we have the same frustrations and challenges, which are different to the challenges that we see in Powys, for example. But, that collaboration between officials and elected members is very good between Ceredigion and Powys anyway. But, as I said, I wouldn't want to run them down in terms of partnership, but I do think that personally, I'd wish to work more closely with that Arfor area as well, just because of things such as tourism and the impact that that has on our vulnerable rural communities.
Welsh: Ie, diolch, Carolyn. O ran y canolbarth, yn edrych ar Geredigion a Phowys, dwy ardal wledig, ond mae'n ardal enfawr hefyd. Mae arweiniad newydd i gael ym Mhowys hefyd, James Gibson-Watt, a dwi'n teimlo bod cydweithio da iawn rhwng y ddau ohonom ni. Mae e'n cydnabod efallai yn y weinyddiaeth ddiwethaf, roedd yna fwy o agosatrwydd gyda Phowys tuag at Loegr, yn hytrach na Cheredigion, ond dwi wedi cael fy argyhoeddi ei fod ef am weithio mwy gyda Cheredigion na Lloegr. O ran daearyddiaeth, dwi'n gweld bod heriau rhywbeth tebyg gyda ni gyda'r ardaloedd arfordirol fel sir Fôn a Gwynedd. Rydyn ni'n cydweithio gyda'r cynllun Arfor, er enghraifft, ac rydyn ni'n teimlo bod yr un rhwystredigaethau a'r un heriau gyda ni, sydd yn wahanol i'r heriau rydyn ni'n gweld gyda Phowys, efallai. Ond, fel rwy'n dweud, mae'r cydweithio yna rhwng y swyddogion a'r aelodau etholedig yn dda iawn rhwng Ceredigion a Phowys beth bynnag. Fel rwy'n dweud, byddwn i ddim yn moyn rhedeg nhw lawr o ran y bartneriaeth na dim byd, ond rwy'n credu y byddwn i'n bersonol yn hoffi dymuno gweithio'n agosach gyda'r ardal Arfor yna hefyd, dim ond o achos pethau fel twristiaeth a'r effaith mae hwnnw'n cael ar ein cymunedau bregus gwledig ni.
English: As I said earlier, many hours have gone into these committees, and I do feel - . We haven't had a meeting on the SDP yet - that's happening on Friday, and that will feed back. But I am aware that they are working very hard, and I think we need that additional resource in terms of staffing to enable them to put more hours into these developments. Because I'm not sure what's happening in Westminster from day to day, but I am very concerned that we will be losing money from these grants, and if I'm given something certain that we're receiving something, that would be great, but I think officials would be heartbroken if we missed out somehow on the money that we're supposed to be due.
Welsh: Fel dywedais i'n gynt, mae lot o oriau wedi mynd i mewn i'r pwyllgorau hyn, a dwi yn teimlo - . Dydyn ni ddim wedi cael cyfarfod ar yr SDP eto - byddwn ni'n cael hwnnw dydd Gwener, felly bydd hwnnw, gobeithio, yn bwydo'n ôl. Dwi yn ymwybodol eu bod nhw'n gweithio'n galed dros ben, a dwi'n credu bod eisiau'r adnodd ychwanegol yna o ran staffio, neu jest caniatáu iddyn nhw roi mwy o oriau i mewn i'r datblygiadau hyn. Achos dwi ddim yn siŵr beth sy'n digwydd yn San Steffan o ddiwrnod i ddiwrnod, ond dwi yn wir bryderus y byddwn ni'n colli arian o'r grantiau yma, ac os caf i rywbeth pendant ein bod ni yn mynd i gael yr arian, grêt, ond dwi'n credu byddai'r swyddogion yn torri calon pe buasem ni'n colli mas rhyw ffordd ar yr arian hyn sy'n ddyledus i ni.
English: It is a very important point, isn't it? We could be employing a chief executive for the CJC at the same level as the chief executive of a county council, with a tenth of the responsibilities perhaps, or even less, and I see that as very wasteful. That's why we are going in the direction where we intend to have staff on secondment, particularly on the chief executive level. We do intend to employ two members of staff for transport plans, but it's likely that they'll be secondments from our councils, and not additional staff, I very much hope.
Welsh: Mae o'n bwynt pwysig, onid ydy? Hynny ydy, mi allen ni fod yn cyflogi prif weithredwr i'r cyd-bwyllgor ar yr un lefel â phrif weithredwr cyngor sir gyda - dwi'n ddim yn siŵr iawn - degfed rhan o'r cyfrifoldebau neu lai hyd yn oed, a dwi'n gweld hynny'n wastraffus. Dyna pam rydyn ni'n mynd i'r cyfeiriad lle dŷn ni'n bwriadu secondio staff i mewn i wneud gwaith, yn sicr ar lefel prif weithredwr. Rydyn ni yn bwriadu cyflogi dau aelod o staff ar gyfer cynlluniau trafnidiaeth, ond mwy na thebyg, mai secondiadau o rai o'n cynghorau ni fydd y rheini, ac nid staff ychwanegol, dwi'n mawr obeithio.
English: I think in looking at transport, we have to look at the carbon footprint, and that's going to be a challenge for us, certainly, in a rural area. There is a reliance going to be on cars, anyway, and that then brings in the point of electric charging points. The networks in terms of electric aren't sufficient in rural areas in terms of the quick chargers, for example, because you need the three-phase chargers, and in many of our rural areas we don't have those. So, that is a challenge in itself, and it's not as easy as saying, 'Get rid of your car and use the bus'. I go back to the challenges that I mentioned earlier, where it's difficult to maintain a bus service because the small businesses that run the buses can't do it in terms of their budget, and then large companies won't come to rural areas. So, that is something that we need to look at. I've already spoken about freight and the trains, and hopefully we can develop that in order to reduce the number of lorries on our roads. So, the collaboration between Powys and across the border in England is going to be vital in terms of establishing that link. It is a challenge - there's no point denying that. It all comes down to bums on seats in terms of public transport, and the demography of mid Wales is against us, in particular as the Ceredigion population is reducing also. So, that is an additional challenge to us, and different to the more urban areas.
Welsh: Wrth edrych ar drafnidiaeth, mae'n rhaid i ni edrych ar yr ôl troed carbon, ac mae hwnna'n mynd i fod yn her i ni yn bendant mewn ardal wledig. Mae yna ddibyniaeth yn mynd i fod ar geir, beth bynnag, ac mae hynny'n dod i mewn â phwyntiau gwefru trydanol. Dyw'r networks o ran y trydan ddim yn ddigonol mewn ardaloedd gwledig o ran y quick chargers, er enghraifft, achos mae eisiau'r three phase ar y rheini, ac mewn lot o'n hardaloedd gwledig ni does dim three phase gyda ni. Felly, mae hwnna'n her yn ei hunan, ac felly dyw e ddim mor rhwydd â dweud, 'Cewch wared â'ch car; defnyddiwch y bws'. Dwi'n mynd nôl at yr heriau ddywedais i ynghynt, ble mae'n anodd cynnal gwasanaeth bws oherwydd dyw'r cwmnïau bach sy'n rhedeg bysys ddim yn gallu ei wneud e o ran eu cyllidebau nhw, ac wedyn mae'r cwmnïau mawr yn pallu dod i ardal wledig. Felly, mae hwnna'n rhywbeth sydd eisiau i ni edrych arno. Dwi eisoes wedi sôn am y freight gyda'r trên, a gobeithio gallwn ni ddatblygu ar hwnnw er mwyn cael llai o lorïau ar ein hewlydd ni. Felly, mae'r cydweithio rhwng Powys a dros y ffin yn Lloegr yn mynd i fod yn hollbwysig o ran creu'r cyswllt yna, er enghraifft. Ond, mae hi'n her, a does dim pwynt gwadu hynny. Diwedd y gân yw bums on seats o ran trafnidiaeth gyhoeddus, ac mae demograffi canolbarth Ceredigion yn ein herbyn ni, yn enwedig yng Ngheredigion ble mae'r boblogaeth yn gostwng beth bynnag. Felly, mae hwnna'n sialens ychwanegol, efallai, sydd yn wahanol i'r rhanbarthau mwy trefol.
English: Thank you. I don't think that I can answer the question directly, but just to say generally - and, to some extent, echo what Bryan has said - the question of public transport in a rural area is very, very different to public transport in urban areas. There are very few bus journeys that are commercially viable in rural areas, so you have to have a subsidy to run these bus services. On the one hand, the Government is pulling back from the improvement of our roads infrastructure in rural areas, and, on the other hand, we don't have an adequate public transport system to serve our population. Bryan is right to say that cars will be important to rural areas regardless of what happens, but to have an effective public transport system in rural areas will mean very significant investment, and I don't know whether the Government understands that at the moment. Thank you.
Welsh: Diolch. Dwi ddim yn meddwl fedraf i ateb y cwestiwn yn uniongyrchol, ond jest i ddweud yn gyffredinol - ac i ryw raddau, ategu beth mae Bryan yn dweud - mae cwestiwn trafnidiaeth gyhoeddus mewn ardal wledig yn wahanol iawn, iawn i drafnidiaeth gyhoeddus mewn ardaloedd trefol. Prin iawn, mae'n debyg, ydy'r teithiau bws sydd yn fasnachol mewn ardaloedd gwledig, felly mae'n rhaid cael sybsidi i redeg y bysiau yma. Ar yr un llaw, mae'r Llywodraeth yn tynnu nôl o wella isadeiledd ein ffyrdd ni mewn ardaloedd gwledig, ac, ar y llaw arall, does gennym ni ddim system trafnidiaeth gyhoeddus ddigonol i wasanaethu ein pobl. Ac mae Bryan yn iawn - mi fydd ceir yn bwysig i ardaloedd gwledig beth bynnag, ond mae cael system drafnidiaeth gyhoeddus effeithiol mewn ardaloedd gwledig yn mynd i olygu buddsoddiad sylweddol iawn, iawn, a dwi ddim yn siŵr a ydy'r Llywodraeth yn deall hynny ar hyn o bryd. Diolch.
English: It is quite a challenge, to be honest with you. Again, to repeat myself, I'm a new leader since May - it's the first time for Ceredigion to have Plaid Cymru running the council. Our aspirations as a political party are on the back burner because there's so much of the daily work of running a council is being prioritised, as it should be. So, the challenges that we all face as leaders are massive. So, our aspirations perhaps as individuals and as political parties have to take a back seat while we're facing the financial challenges that we have - challenges that are hitting everybody in our areas. And if the other authorities have projects or plans, you have to question whether those can go forward given the financial challenges that we face. But a lot of time just goes. When I signed up to be leader, I saw the work in front of me, in terms of the council work, but then the forum is so important, in terms of the WLGA, Chris; I'm so pleased that I can hear through that platform the frustrations that other leaders have. But there is time required to go to those meetings, and there is time required for Growing Mid Wales, and there is time required for Arfor too. It's important to be part of these things, but everything else has to take a back seat while we're discussing these other issues as well.
Welsh: Mae hi'n dipyn o her, a dweud y gwir wrthych chi. Eto, i ail-ddweud, dwi'n arweinydd newydd ers mis Mai - y tro cyntaf i Geredigion gael Plaid Cymru'n rhedeg y cyngor. Mae'n dyheadau ni fel plaid wleidyddol yn cael mynd ar y back burner achos mae cymaint o waith bara menyn, dyddiol o redeg cyngor yn cael y flaenoriaeth, ac fel y dylai. Felly, mae'r sialensiau sy'n ein hwynebu ni i gyd fel arweinyddion yn enfawr. Felly, mae'r dyheadau rŷn ni'n moyn fel unigolion, efallai, a hefyd fel pleidiau, yn gorfod cael sedd gefn tra'n bod ni'n wynebu'r heriau ariannol sydd gyda ni - heriau sydd yn bwrw pob un yn ein hardaloedd ni. Ac os oes yna brosiectau a chynlluniau gyda'r awdurdodau eraill, mae'n rhaid cwestiynu a ydy'r rheini'n gallu dod ymlaen nawr gyda'r heriau ariannol sy'n ein hwynebu ni. Ond mae lot o amser yn mynd. Amser nes i seino lan i fod yn arweinydd, roeddwn i'n gweld y gwaith a oedd o mlaen i, o ran gwaith y cyngor, ond wedyn mae'r fforwm mor bwysig o ran y WLGA, Chris; dwi mor falch fy mod i'n gallu clywed y rhwystredigaethau sydd gydag arweinyddion eraill drwy'r platfform hynny. Ond mae amser yn mynd i'r cyfarfodydd hynny, ac mae amser yn mynd i Tyfu Canolbarth Cymru, ac mae amser yn mynd i Arfor hefyd. Mae'n bwysig bod yn rhan o'r pethau hyn, ond mae popeth arall yn gorfod cael sedd gefn tra'n bod ni'n sôn am y pethau arall hefyd.
