English: I understand that the chief executive of Natural Resources Wales visited Taff's Well this morning to speak to people who have been flooded. Last week I asked the Minister to come to the Rhondda with me to speak to residents about their experiences, and I want to convey a message to your Government from one of the residents in Ynyshir in the Rhondda. Mr Cameron says, and I quote, 'We have had approximately 14 houses affected by flooding at Ynyshir, along with approximately 13 vehicles, which are a total loss. You saw myself and a neighbour's son in the river, desperately trying to clear the dam with a saw before the arrival of the heavy rain that was forecast. Once again, we were left to sort ourselves out. I have been told that I will be out of my bungalow for nine to 12 months. I have lost the total contents of my bungalow and garage, and I'm basically homeless and without a car. I know that there are many other people in a similar situation and even worse off. The least the Minister for the environment can do, along with the chair and senior management of NRW, is come with you to see at first hand the devastation that they have caused. For your information, the water has never flooded over Avon Terrace bridge in over 100 years, and would not have done so on 16 February if Natural Resources Wales had done what they were supposed to do and kept the rivers free of debris.' People in Ynyshir were flooded because of debris that built up under a bridge that went over the river. Now, I've also had requests from the people living in Pentre to speak to the Minister, as well as from people living in Porth who have lost garden walls that were previously defences against the river and who are also concerned about tree and debris build-up on bridges near their homes. As the Minister seems unable to respond to these visit requests and other questions that I asked in this Chamber, can you, as Business Minister, ask her and her officials to schedule a visit to the Rhondda with me as soon as possible so that she can fully appreciate the scale of the problem, as well as the strength of feeling in the various communities that have been affected by flooding in the Rhondda?
Welsh: Rwy'n deall bod Prif Weithredwr Cyfoeth Naturiol Cymru wedi ymweld â Ffynnon Taf y bore yma i siarad â phobl sydd wedi dioddef yn sgil y llifogydd. Yr wythnos diwethaf gofynnais i i'r Gweinidog ddod i'r Rhondda gyda mi i siarad â'r trigolion am eu profiadau, ac rwyf eisiau cyfleu neges i'ch Llywodraeth chi gan un o drigolion Ynyshir yn y Rhondda. Mae Mr Cameron, yn dweud, ac rwy'n dyfynnu, 'Mae'r llifogydd wedi effeithio ar tua 14 o dai yn Ynyshir, ynghyd â thua 13 o gerbydau, sy'n golled lwyr. Fe wnaethoch chi fy ngweld i a mab un o fy nghymdogion yn yr afon, yn ymdrechu'n daer i geisio clirio'r argae â llif cyn bod y glaw trwm a ragwelwyd yn cyrraedd. Unwaith eto, cawsom ein gadael i roi trefn ar bethau ein hunain. Rwyf wedi cael gwybod na allaf fynd yn ôl i fyw yn fy myngalo i am naw i 12 mis. Rwyf wedi colli popeth yn y byngalo a'r garej, ac yn y bôn rwy'n ddigartref ac yn ddi-gar. Rwy'n gwybod bod llawer o bobl eraill mewn sefyllfa debyg ac yn waeth hyd yn oed. Y peth lleiaf y gall Gweinidog yr amgylchedd ei wneud, ynghyd â chadeirydd ac uwch reolwyr Cyfoeth Naturiol Cymru, yw dod gyda chi i weld drostynt eu hunain y dinistr y maent wedi ei achosi. Er gwybodaeth, nid yw'r dŵr wedi gorlifo dros bont Avon Terrace ers 100 mlynedd, ac ni fyddai wedi gwneud hynny ar 16 Chwefror pe bai Cyfoeth Naturiol Cymru wedi gwneud yr hyn yr oedden nhw i fod i'w wneud a chadw'r afonydd yn glir o sbwriel.' Roedd pobl yn Ynyshir wedi dioddef llifogydd oherwydd y sbwriel a oedd wedi cronni o dan bont dros yr afon. Nawr, rwyf hefyd wedi cael ceisiadau i siarad â'r Gweinidog gan y bobl sy'n byw ym Mhentre, yn ogystal â phobl sy'n byw yn y Porth, sydd wedi colli waliau gerddi a oedd yn arfer amddiffyn rhag yr afon ac sydd hefyd yn pryderu bod coed a sbwriel yn cronni ar bontydd ger eu cartrefi. Gan nad yw'n debyg bod y Gweinidog yn gallu ymateb i'r ceisiadau hyn am ymweliad a chwestiynau eraill yr oeddwn i wedi'u holi yn y Siambr hon, a wnewch chi, fel Gweinidog busnes, ofyn iddi hi a'i swyddogion amserlennu ymweliad â'r Rhondda gyda mi cyn gynted ag y bo modd fel y gall werthfawrogi graddfa'r broblem yn llawn, yn ogystal â chryfder y teimladau yn y cymunedau amrywiol y mae'r llifogydd yn y Rhondda wedi effeithio arnyn nhw?
