English: I just want to use the minute that I think I have to draw the attention of the Chamber to an evaluation of co-operative housing developments in Wales, which was published at the end of March. It looked specifically at the early developmental stages in co-op housing, echoing what Mike has said, and I'll use my time to continue to plead the cause of co-op housing. It looks also at the question of the specific impact that Welsh Government funding has had. It looked both at citizen-led and RSL-led projects. It looks at some of the downsides, struggling to acquire land for development is one of them and access to finance is another, but it notes, in general, the several substantive upsides to co-operative housing schemes, in particular the good quality of construction around design but also with regard to energy efficiency and a number of them have been developed with sustainable development principles at their heart. Many of the tenants entering into these arrangements have felt that they were likely to end up with longer-term tenancies as a result, and often the motivation for them was to avoid having to deal with bad landlords and the increased control, which many tenants felt they would have as a consequence of being part of these co-op developments, was another key motivator. So, there's some interesting material in there, specifically in relation to Welsh co-op housing in particular. In the recommendations made in the report, the first key recommendation is a request that the Welsh Government signals its continued support for development, in particular around RSL-led schemes, which they believe will be the future growth potential in the sector, and also the importance of raising awareness of the co-op option for housing generally. One of the particular recommendations is consideration of a matching scheme between citizens who might want to participate in co-op housing schemes and RSLs able to facilitate that. So, that was just to draw attention to that report. It's an important contribution to the co-op housing debate more broadly, and I think that co-op housing in particular can help us both tackle our housing strategy and also contribute to making our communities as robust as they can be. Thank you.
Welsh: Rwyf am ddefnyddio'r funud sydd gennyf, rwy'n meddwl, i dynnu sylw'r Siambr at werthusiad o ddatblygiadau tai cydweithredol yng Nghymru, a gyhoeddwyd ddiwedd mis Mawrth. Edrychai'n benodol ar y cyfnodau datblygu cynnar ym maes tai cydweithredol, gan adleisio beth y mae Mike wedi'i ddweud, a byddaf yn defnyddio fy amser i barhau i ddadlau dros dai cydweithredol. Mae hefyd yn edrych ar gwestiwn yr effaith benodol a gafodd cyllid Llywodraeth Cymru. Edrychodd ar brosiectau dan arweiniad y dinesydd a than arweiniad Landlord Cymdeithasol Cofrestredig. Mae'n edrych ar rai o'r anfanteision, ac mae brwydro i gaffael tir ar gyfer datblygu yn un ohonynt a mynediad at gyllid yn un arall, ond mae'n nodi, yn gyffredinol y nifer o fanteision sylweddol sydd i gynlluniau tai cydweithredol, yn enwedig ansawdd adeiladu da o ran cynllun, ond hefyd o ran arbed ynni ac mae nifer ohonynt wedi cael eu datblygu gydag egwyddorion datblygu cynaliadwy yn ganolog iddynt. Mae llawer o'r tenantiaid sy'n cychwyn y trefniadau hyn wedi teimlo eu bod yn debygol o gael tenantiaethau mwy hirdymor yn y pen draw o ganlyniad, ac yn aml y cymhelliad oedd osgoi gorfod ymdrin â landlordiaid gwael ac roedd y rheolaeth fwy y teimlai llawer o denantiaid a fyddai ganddynt o ganlyniad i fod yn rhan o ddatblygiadau cydweithredol o'r fath, yn gymhelliad allweddol arall. Felly, mae rhywfaint o ddeunydd diddorol yno, yn enwedig mewn perthynas â thai cydweithredol yng Nghymru yn benodol. Yn yr argymhellion a wnaed yn yr adroddiad, yr argymhelliad allweddol cyntaf yw cais i Lywodraeth Cymru nodi ei chefnogaeth barhaus i ddatblygu, yn enwedig cynlluniau dan arweiniad Landlordiaid Cymdeithasol Cofrestredig, y credant y bydd ganddynt botensial i dyfu yn y sector yn y dyfodol, a phwysigrwydd codi ymwybyddiaeth ynglŷn â'r opsiwn cydweithredol ar gyfer tai yn gyffredinol. Un o'r argymhellion penodol yw ystyried cynllun paru rhwng dinasyddion a allai fod eisiau cymryd rhan mewn cynlluniau tai cydweithredol a Landlordiaid Cymdeithasol Cofrestredig a fyddai'n gallu hwyluso hynny. Felly, roedd hynny ar gyfer tynnu sylw at yr adroddiad hwnnw'n unig. Mae'n gyfraniad pwysig i'r ddadl ar dai cydweithredol yn fwy eang, ac rwy'n meddwl y gall tai cydweithredol yn arbennig ein helpu i fynd i'r afael â'n strategaeth dai a chyfrannu at wneud ein cymunedau mor gadarn ag y gallant fod. Diolch.
