Natural Resources Wales is developing and delivering their recreation and access strategy.

The Welsh Government also works with the private and voluntary sectors to create new opportunities for the public to visit woodlands.

 

Russell George (Sir Drefaldwyn): O ran lleihau ôl troed carbon Cymru, pa feysydd polisi sy'n gwneud y cynnydd lleiaf ac sy'n achosi mwyaf o bryder? (WAQ67497)

Derbyniwyd ateb ar 29 Gorffennaf 2014

John Griffiths: The most recent calculation of Wales’ ecological footprint, undertaken in 2008 illustrated how components of the ecological footprint might change over time, looking at housing, transport and food with scenarios running from 2001 to 2020. Those three sectors represent the largest component of Wales’ ecological footprint.

We intend to publish an update of the ecological footprint, based on 2011 data, later this year.

 

Russell George (Sir Drefaldwyn): Pa adrannau Llywodraeth Cymru nad ydynt yn gwneud digon i leihau ôl-troed ecolegol Cymru? (WAQ67498)

Derbyniwyd ateb ar 24 Gorffennaf 2014

John Griffiths: The Welsh Government remains committed to the vision set out in its Sustainable Development Scheme, One Wales: One Planet, to become a one planet society by 2050. The most recent calculation of Wales’ ecological footprint, undertaken in 2008, did so using 2003 data, creating a time series for the Welsh ecological footprint covering the period 1990-2003. The report illustrated how components of the ecological footprint might change over time, looking at housing, transport and food with scenarios running from 2001 to 2020. Those three sectors represent the largest component of Wales’ ecological footprint. The report did not measure the contribution being made to reduce Wales’ ecological footprint by particular Welsh Government departments.

As part of the work linked to the Well-being of Future Generations (Wales) Bill, the Welsh Government will examine the appropriateness of this and other indicators to ensure that they enable public bodies – including the Welsh Government - and other key stakeholders to take steps to measure collective progress in pursuing the well-being goals to be established through the Bill.

We intend to publish an updated ecological footprint, based on 2011 data, later this year.

 

Russell George (Sir Drefaldwyn): Pa asesiad y mae Llywodraeth Cymru wedi'i wneud o ran awdurdodau lleol nad ydynt yn ymdrin yn ddigonol â'r broblem o gŵn yn baeddu? (WAQ67512)

Derbyniwyd ateb ar 24 Gorffennaf 2014

John Griffiths: The Welsh Government collects data in relation to dog fouling, however, it is difficult to directly compare local authority performance due to the differences between local authorities such as; size, population; rural or urban; and whether or not the local authority employs private contractors for enforcement.

Since 2006, the Welsh Government has provided funding to Keep Wales Tidy to conduct Local Environmental Audit Management System (LEAMS) surveys in all 22 local authorities across Wales to measure the cleanliness of our streets. This survey includes an assessment of levels of dog fouling on Welsh streets.

LEAMs show that dog fouling had been decreasing since 2007-08, when it was found on 14% of streets surveyed, to 10.2% in 2011-12, however, in 2012-13 it was 13.8%: an increase on previous years. The overall trend continues to decrease. We expect levels of dog fouling to have decreased in the 2013-14 LEAMs results, which will be published shortly.

Derbyniwyd ateb ar 24 Gorffennaf 2014

John Griffiths: Section 40 of the Natural Environment and Rural Communities Act requires every public body to have regard ‘to the purpose of conserving biodiversity’. Under their local authority biodiversity duties and designations, each local authority submits a report to the Welsh Government on compliance with their NERC Act biodiversity duty. Feedback from these reports suggests that an impact is being felt particularly with regard to a reduction in local authority staffing levels. This has an impact on carrying out pro-active biodiversity work, for example, partnership working and facilitation of projects.

Cadw works with local authorities and other parties to monitor natural heritage sites.

Jeff Cuthbert: The Digital Inclusion Delivery Plan embeds digital inclusion activities with the modernisation of rural payments. There will be a range of support options in place, led by Rural Payments Wales, to ensure nobody is left behind in the move to online services. This will include using a third party, such as an agent or farming union representative, or attending a local clinic so that farmers can access the new system in a supported environment and benefit from hands-on training.

It is anticipated that over 96% of farm businesses will be included within the Superfast Cymru or commercial broadband roll-out. Farming businesses that fall outside the rollout of the Superfast Cymru Scheme can apply for a grant towards broadband provision using the Access Broadband Cymru Scheme.

Derbyniwyd ateb ar 24 Gorffennaf 2014

Jeff Cuthbert: I expect the Bill to have a positive impact for rural areas. One of the long term challenges the Bill will help us to tackle is poverty, whether it be in rural or urban areas.

The well-being goals that the Bill sets, taken together, represent the long term outcomes that we want to see for the well-being of all communities in Wales, which includes a more prosperous and more equal Wales.

As a result of the Bill, specified public bodies will be required to work together to set well-being objectives for achieving these well-being goals, on the basis of a common assessment of local need. The well-being plan that they deliver will incorporate their objectives for tackling child poverty.

Gofyn i'r Gweinidog Addysg a Sgiliau

Simon Thomas (Canolbarth a Gorllewin Cymru): A wnaiff y Gweinidog ddatganiad ynglyn ag adroddiad Estyn o fis Mehefin 2014 ar Ysgol Tasker-Milward VC yn Hwlffordd? (WAQ67507)W

Derbyniwyd ateb ar 30 Gorffennaf 2014

Weinidog Addysg a Sgiliau (Huw Lewis): Ym mis Mawrth 2013 arolygodd Estyn Ysgol Tasker-Milward VC yn Sir Benfro fel rhan o’r fframwaith arolygu cyffredin a barnodd bod ei pherfformiad yn ddigonol a bod ei rhagolygon gwella yn ddigonol. Barnodd y tîm arolygu y dylai’r ysgol gael ei rhoi yng nghategori Estyn ar gyfer ysgolion y mae angen iddynt wella’n sylweddol.

Cynhaliodd Estyn ymweliad monitro o’r ysgol ym mis Mehefin 2014 er mwyn asesu hynt y gwaith o gyflawni’r wyth argymhelliad a nodwyd yn adroddiad arolygiad Estyn yn 2013. Daeth Estyn i’r casgliad nad oedd Ysgol Tasker-Milward VC wedi cyflawni digon o gynnydd o fewn y meysydd allweddol a nodwyd yn yr adroddiad arolygiad.

Nododd y llythyr monitro fod cwmpas a difrifoldeb y gwendidau mor sylweddol fel bod Estyn yn barnu bod angen mesurau arbennig ar yr ysgol.

Bydd yr ysgol yn mynd ati yn awr i lunio cynllun gweithredu, gyda chymorth gan yr awdurdod lleol a’r consortia, y bydd angen i Estyn ei gymeradwyo. Rwyf hefyd yn disgwyl i’r awdurdod lleol farnu a oes angen iddo ddefnyddio ei bwerau ymyrryd.

Cyrff y GIG yng Nghymru sy’n gyfrifol, wrth gwrs, am gynllunio a darparu’r gwasanaethau hyn yn lleol, yn unol â’r safonau yr ydym wedi’u cyhoeddi. Nid yw’r gwasanaeth yn gyfyngedig i ysbytai ond mae ar gael hefyd mewn lleoliadau gofal eraill megis hosbisau, cartrefi gofal ac anghenion iechyd meddwl yn y gymuned.

Am y rhesymau hyn, rwyf yn dal i gredu mai’r ffordd orau o sicrhau bod cleifion a staff ledled Cymru’n cael mynediad priodol i’r gwasanaethau hynny yw parhau i’w cefnogi’n ariannol trwy’r GIG yng Nghymru. Mater i gyrff unigol y GIG yw penderfynu ar wariant ar wasanaethau gofal ysbrydol ar lefel leol.

Russell George (Sir Drefaldwyn): Beth fydd cynnig Llywodraeth Cymru ar gyfer cydraddoli'r cyfraddau treth gyngor mewn meysydd sy'n wynebu uno lle bydd y dreth gyngor yn codi yn sylweddol? (WAQ67491)

Lesley Griffiths: As outlined in the Reforming Local Government White Paper published on 8July, we will be looking for solutions which minimise local effects and we will look at all the options for managing any shifts in Council Tax levels which arise solely as a result of merging Authorities. The current imbalance in Council Tax levels is not something we should be seeking to preserve. We will need to examine any potential transitional impacts and explore the scope to develop stronger links between funding, performance and the delivery of strategic outcomes.

The White Paper includes a question for respondents specifically regarding how revenue is raised to support the delivery of local services. We invite any suggestions which respondents wish to bring forward and we will be consulting on our proposals in due course.

Russell George (Sir Drefaldwyn): Sut y bydd ad-drefnu llywodraeth leol a fydd yn digwydd mor hwyr â 2020 yn cynorthwyo cynghorau â thoriadau yn y gyllideb dros y tair blynedd nesaf? (WAQ67495)

Derbyniwyd ateb ar 25 Gorffennaf 2014

Lesley Griffiths: ‘Reforming Local Government’ is about delivering better local services and outcomes for the people of Wales. Merging Local Authorities will create sustainable Authorities and ensure a future for local democracy in Wales.

Local Authorities now have clarity and can plan for the future, together. Planning and delivering mergers starts now not in 2020. Likewise, Authorities need to be responding to the financial challenges now. Reform cannot wait for a return to better financial times.
