English: I think this is a very important debate to make people feel that they have some control over their communities, when so much seems to be not in people's control. Therefore, it's really important that we equip communities with better tools to protect themselves from external interests with no stake in an area, who just want to monetise everything they can get their hands on. Dom Phillips and Bruno Pereira paid with their lives trying to highlight the galloping destruction of the Amazon, the largest rainforest in the world. Tragically, the rule of law has been undermined or ignored, not least by the current Brazilian Government. Commercial interests - some commercial interests - know no bounds in the search for profit, untroubled by the impact on nature, the Amazonian Indians who have lived there for millennia, and the devastating impact that this is likely to have on the future of our planet collectively. It's an extreme example, but it's not an isolated incident, so I particularly want to focus on point 8 in the motion, about enabling communities to retain local buildings and land as community facilities. I recently visited the site of the Llanishen and Lisvane reservoirs, which is on the border of Cardiff Central and Cardiff North, which will in a couple of years' time return to being a community asset open to the public. The amenity would have been completely lost were it not for the efforts of the community, spearheaded by the Reservoir Action Group, known as RAG, and a 10-year campaign to combat one of the largest American mulitinationals - Pennsylvania Power & Light - who wanted to turn it into housing because, obviously, that is much more profitable than being the custodian of a former water reservoir. As soon as it was acquired from Welsh Water in 2004, Pennsylvania Power & Light set about kicking off the sailing club that was on the site, refusing permission to the fishing club and putting up huge barriers to prevent people getting on to the site to enjoy this very special site of special scientific interest, due to the presence of a wide variety of grassland fungi and the over-wintering birds that land on Lisvane reservoir. So, Pennsylvania Power & Light, through its subsidiary, Western Power Distribution, were arguing that this amenity was no longer needed, and it was only the efforts of RAG that enabled it to become a listed building, and it took three public inquiries to defeat Pennsylvania Power & Light. They finally threw in the towel in 2010 - no, I think a little bit later, in 2013, but not until they had already completely drained the Llanishen reservoir, which is a multimillion pound venture to refill and repair, given the strict restrictions around reservoirs, for good reasons. So, it is an irony that this asset is now back in the hands of Dŵr Cymru due to the efforts of the much-loved and long-lamented Carl Sargeant, who persuaded them to take back the site that they had sold off in the first place. It will be a wonderful site, but if it wasn't for the real efforts of a very large-scale community campaign, we would simply not have this, and it's really been down to the community to protect it. So, it's really illustrating of just how determined people need to be and also the fact that the planning regime and the community asset regulations that exist in other parts of Britain are simply absent in Wales, and that needs to be rectified. So, for current problems, there's a pub called the Roath Park in my constituency, on City Road. It is the last remaining Victorian-era pub on that road, and it's destined for demolition because it's cheaper to simply tear it down and put up some modern flats instead. I'm sure they'll be hideous. And instead, they could be amending this fine building to make dwellings for future use. So, there has to be an alternative to this. Cadw refuse to list it, and even had it been locally listed by Cardiff Council, that wouldn't have protected it. So, we need to look again at how we can protect things in our communities that people value and want to preserve. And if people are there saying, 'We will take this on', then they shouldn't have people who just simply have the money and just want to make a quick buck to prevent them doing so. And if we don't do this, there's no way we're going to be able to develop the 15-minute city that's being developed in Paris and Nottingham and other places, which is the only way forward if we are going to meet our sustainability goals.
Welsh: Credaf fod hon yn ddadl bwysig iawn i wneud i bobl deimlo bod ganddynt rywfaint o reolaeth dros eu cymunedau, pan ymddengys bod cymaint nad yw o dan reolaeth pobl. Felly, mae'n bwysig iawn ein bod yn paratoi cymunedau'n well i ddiogelu eu hunain rhag buddiannau allanol heb unrhyw fudd mewn ardal, sydd ond am roi gwerth ariannol i bopeth y gallant gael eu dwylo arno. Talodd Dom Phillips a Bruno Pereira gyda'u bywydau wrth geisio tynnu sylw at ddinistr enfawr yr Amazon, y goedwig law fwyaf yn y byd. Yn drasig, mae rheolaeth y gyfraith wedi'i thanseilio neu ei hanwybyddu, yn enwedig gan Lywodraeth bresennol Brasil. Nid yw buddiannau masnachol - rhai buddiannau masnachol - yn cydnabod unrhyw ffiniau wrth chwilio am elw, heb eu poeni gan yr effaith ar natur, Indiaid yr Amazon sydd wedi byw yno ers milenia, a'r effaith ddinistriol y mae hyn gyda'i gilydd yn debygol o'i chael ar ddyfodol ein planed. Mae'n enghraifft eithafol, ond nid yw'n ddigwyddiad ynysig, felly rwyf am ganolbwyntio'n benodol ar bwynt 8 yn y cynnig, ynglŷn â galluogi cymunedau i gadw adeiladau a thir lleol fel cyfleusterau cymunedol. Ymwelais yn ddiweddar â safle cronfeydd dŵr Llanisien a Llys-faen, sydd ar y ffin rhwng Caerdydd Canolog a Gogledd Caerdydd, a fydd ymhen ychydig flynyddoedd yn dychwelyd i fod yn ased cymunedol sy'n agored i'r cyhoedd. Byddai'r amwynder wedi'i golli'n llwyr oni bai am ymdrechion y gymuned, wedi'u harwain gan Grŵp Gweithredu'r Gronfa (RAG) ac ymgyrch 10 mlynedd i ymladd un o'r cwmnïau rhyngwladol Americanaidd mwyaf - Pennsylvania Power & Light - a oedd am ei droi'n dai oherwydd, yn amlwg, mae hynny'n llawer mwy proffidiol na bod yn geidwad hen gronfa ddŵr. Cyn gynted ag y cafodd ei brynu gan Dŵr Cymru yn 2004, aeth Pennsylvania Power & Light ati i gychwyn y clwb hwylio a oedd ar y safle, gwrthod caniatâd i'r clwb pysgota a gosod rhwystrau enfawr i atal pobl rhag mynd ar y safle i fwynhau'r safle arbennig hwn o ddiddordeb gwyddonol arbennig yn sgil presenoldeb amrywiaeth eang o ffyngau glaswelltir ac adar sy'n gaeafu sy'n glanio ar gronfa ddŵr Llys-faen. Felly, roedd Pennsylvania Power & Light, drwy ei is-gwmni, Western Power Distribution, yn dadlau nad oedd angen yr amwynder hwn mwyach, a dim ond ymdrechion RAG a'i galluogodd i ddod yn adeilad rhestredig, a chymerodd dri ymchwiliad cyhoeddus i drechu Pennsylvania Power & Light. Rhoesant y gorau iddi yn y pen draw yn 2010 - na, ychydig yn ddiweddarach rwy'n credu, yn 2013, ond nid nes eu bod eisoes wedi draenio cronfa ddŵr Llanisien yn llwyr, proses sy'n costio miliynau o bunnoedd i ail-lenwi ac atgyweirio, o ystyried y cyfyngiadau llym mewn perthynas â chronfeydd dŵr, am resymau da. Felly, mae'n eironig fod yr ased hwn bellach yn ôl yn nwylo Dŵr Cymru oherwydd ymdrechion yr annwyl Carl Sargeant, y gwelir ei golli'n fawr, a'u perswadiodd i ailfeddiannu'r safle yr oeddent wedi'i werthu yn y lle cyntaf. Bydd yn safle gwych, ond oni bai am ymdrechion gwirioneddol ymgyrch gymunedol ar raddfa fawr iawn, ni fyddai'r safle gennym, a'r gymuned sydd wedi ei ddiogelu mewn gwirionedd. Felly, mae'n dangos pa mor benderfynol y mae angen i bobl fod a hefyd y ffaith bod y gyfundrefn gynllunio a'r rheoliadau asedau cymunedol sy'n bodoli mewn rhannau eraill o Brydain yn absennol yng Nghymru, ac mae angen unioni hynny. Felly, o ran problemau presennol, mae yna dafarn o'r enw Roath Park yn fy etholaeth i, ar Heol y Ddinas. Dyma'r dafarn oes Fictoria olaf sydd ar ôl ar y ffordd honno, ac mae'n cael ei dymchwel oherwydd ei bod yn rhatach ei chwalu ac adeiladu fflatiau modern yn lle hynny. Rwy'n siŵr y byddant yn erchyll. Ac yn lle hynny, gallent addasu'r adeilad cain hwn i wneud anheddau i'w defnyddio yn y dyfodol. Felly, rhaid bod opsiwn arall yn lle hyn. Gwrthododd Cadw ei restru, a hyd yn oed pe bai wedi'i restru'n lleol gan Gyngor Caerdydd, ni fyddai hynny wedi'i ddiogelu. Felly, mae angen inni edrych eto ar sut y gallwn ddiogelu pethau yn ein cymunedau y mae pobl yn eu hystyried yn werthfawr ac am eu cadw. Ac os yw pobl yno'n dweud, 'Fe wnawn rywbeth am hyn', ni ddylai pobl sydd ag arian i wneud hynny ac am wneud elw sydyn allu eu hatal rhag gwneud hynny. Ac os na wnawn hyn, nid oes unrhyw ffordd y byddwn yn gallu datblygu'r ddinas 15 munud sy'n cael ei datblygu ym Mharis a Nottingham a lleoedd eraill, sef yr unig ffordd ymlaen os ydym am gyflawni ein nodau cynaliadwyedd.
