As an avid reader of the Daily hynny. Fel un o ddarllenwyr brwd y Daily Post, she will have seen, on page two of Post, bydd wedi gweld rhagfynegiad ar today’s paper, a prediction that Anglesey dudalen dau yn y papur heddiw fod Ynys faces a 5 per cent council tax rise. That is Môn yn wynebu cynnydd o 5 y cant yn y substantially higher than the average dreth gyngor. Mae hynny’n sylweddol uwch expected for Wales. Does the Minister accept na’r cynnydd cyfartalog a ddisgwylir i that the increased pressures that the council Gymru. A yw’r Gweinidog yn derbyn bod y faces, as a result of issues such as the pwysau cynyddol sy’n wynebu’r cyngor, o Penhesgyn tip, of which I know she is aware, ganlyniad i faterion fel tomen Penhesgyn, y mean that the council is in an extremely gwn ei bod yn ymwybodol ohoni, yn golygu invidious position? Anglesey has the lowest bod y cyngor mewn sefyllfa annymunol settlement, and yet it is being forced, if it is iawn? Ynys Môn sy’n cael y setliad isaf, ond to maintain services, to increase council tax eto i gyd mae’n cael ei gorfodi i gynyddu’r at a rate way above the average. Will she dreth gyngor ar gyfradd lawer uwch na’r reconsider the settlement for Anglesey? cyfartaledd os yw i gadw gwasanaethau. A wnaiff ailystyried y setliad ar gyfer Ynys Môn? Sue Essex: I cannot reconsider the Sue Essex: Ni allaf ailystyried y setliad gan settlement, as it was voted on by the fod y Cynulliad bleidleisio drosto, ac ni allaf Assembly, and there is no way that I can newid penderfyniad a wnaed gan y overturn an Assembly decision. As you Cynulliad. Fel y gwyddoch, treuliais amser know, I have spent some time with Anglesey gyda chynrychiolwyr Ynys Môn a deallaf y representatives and I understand the pressures pwysau sy’n wynebu’r cyngor. Ni wyddom that the council faces. We do not know what beth fydd y dreth gyngor gyfartalog yng 3 24/01/2007 the average council tax will be in Wales, but Nghymru, ond gwn ei bod yn flwyddyn I do know that it is a difficult year for anodd i Ynys Môn, felly, yr wyf wedi Anglesey, so I have looked at why that ystyried y rhesymau dros hynny. Gwnaethom should be. We all agreed the formula and its i gyd gytuno ar y fformiwla a’r dull o’i distribution, and we know that there will be dosbarthu, a gwyddom y bydd manteision ac swings and roundabouts every year when you anfanteision bob blwyddyn pan newidiwch y put changes into the formula. However, one fformiwla. Fodd bynnag, un o’r ffactorau of the formula’s key drivers, as I said before, allweddol sy’n symbylu’r fformiwla, fel y is population figures. Anglesey’s real dywedais eisoes, yw ffigurau’r boblogaeth. problem is that it had—if you will excuse the Problem wirioneddol Ynys Môn—os tautology—a higher than average decrease in maddeuwch yr ailadrodd—yw iddi weld the number of primary and secondary school lleihad uwch na’r cyfartaledd yn nifer y pupils, and in primary school pupils entitled disgyblion mewn ysgolion cynradd ac to free school meals. It also had a lower than ysgolion uwchradd, ac yn nifer y disgyblion average increase in its elderly population. ysgol gynradd sydd â hawl i gael cinio ysgol These things really matter, as they are some am ddim. Cafodd gynnydd is na’r cyfartaledd of the key drivers of change within the yn nifer y bobl oedrannus hefyd. Mae’r formula. ffigurau hyn yn bwysig, oherwydd dyma rai o’r ffactorau allweddol sy’n symbylu newid yn y fformiwla. I have done some research on Anglesey’s Gwneuthum rywfaint o ymchwil i sefyllfa situation and, in terms of the period since Ynys Môn, ac yn y cyfnod er 1999 mae Ynys 1999, as a whole, Anglesey has had above- Môn wedi cael setliadau uwch na’r average settlements. I know that it is difficult cyfartaledd ar y cyfan. Gwn ei bod yn anodd for the council this year, but you will see that i’r cyngor eleni, ond fe welwch fod this is a situation of swings and roundabouts. manteision ac anfanteision. Yn ystod y Across the whole period, Anglesey has had cyfnod cyfan, mae Ynys Môn wedi cael mwy more than the average—53.5 per cent as na’r cyfartaledd—53.5 y cant o’i gymharu â compared with 51.9 per cent. Most treasurers 51.9 y cant. Mae’r rhan fwyaf o drysoryddion understand the dips and swells of the way in yn deall bod y ffordd y mae’r fformiwla’n which the formula operates. However, as I gweithredu yn gyfnewidiol. Fodd bynnag, fel say, I have had discussions and have shared y dywedais, cefais drafodaethau ac yr wyf information with Anglesey council. It is also wedi rhannu gwybodaeth gyda chyngor Ynys important that we look forward, as we are Môn. Mae hefyd yn bwysig inni edrych talking about a three-year settlement. The ymlaen, gan ein bod yn sôn am setliad tair issue of where the council can achieve blynedd. Bydd y mater ble y gall y cyngor savings, in terms of efficiencies, over the wneud arbedion, mewn effeithlonrwydd, yn next few years will come into play, but we ystod yr ychydig flynyddoedd nesaf yn dod would all agree that economic development i’r amlwg, ond byddem i gyd yn cytuno mai in Anglesey, to boost population levels and datblygu economaidd yn Ynys Môn fyddai’r incomes, would be the best thing that could peth gorau a allai ddigwydd, er mwyn rhoi happen. hwb i lefelau’r boblogaeth ac incwm. David Melding: Do you accept that, over a David Melding: A dderbyniwch fod 10-year period, average annual council tax cynnydd blynyddol cyfartalog o 8 y cant yn y increases of 8 per cent have led to dreth gyngor, dros gyfnod o 10 mlynedd, dramatically higher bills, undermining public wedi arwain at filiau sy’n sylweddol uwch, confidence in the tax?

  • Taking Forward Wales' Sustainable Management of Natural Resources
    Welsh Government consultation on Taking Forward Wales’ Sustainable Management of Natural Resources Natural Resources Wales Response Summary of our Response This is a wide ranging consultation which touches on many areas which fall within the direct remit of NRW. Some of the proposals set out in the consultation have been the subject of separate consultation exercises e.g. Making the most of Every Drop, Reforming the Abstraction Management System in Wales1). Given the breadth and depth of the proposals in this consultation our response is extensive. It is critical that the opportunities for integration between sectors are fully realised to ensure alignment to the SMNR objective and ways of working. Our response sets out the gaps and additional mechanisms, including funding mechanisms, which may need to be developed to fully realise the benefits for sustainable management of natural resources, driving multiple benefits for people and places across Wales. This is particularly important for land management and agriculture where Brexit is likely to drive profound change. We believe further discussion with the land management sector in particular is required to refine the Access proposals to design an approach fully aligned to SMNR, supporting resilient ecosystems, viable farm incomes as well as driving the well-being benefits for people and communities. Chapter 1 – Toward the sustainable management of natural resources We are broadly supportive of the proposals in Chapter 1. However, we consider there is an opportunity to look more holistically across regulation, incentives and ways of working to identify means to drive sustainable management of natural resources. The present focus on regulatory approaches, although important is only part of a wider range of tools available to deliver SMNR.
