Yn ystod hynt Deddf Trais yn erbyn Menywod, Cam-drin Domestig a Thrais Rhywiol (Cymru) 2015, cynigiais welliannau yn galw am i'r strategaeth genedlaethol gynnwys darparu o leiaf un rhaglen i gyflawnwyr, gan nodi mai Choose2Change oedd yr unig raglen a…

Cynnig o dan Reol Sefydlog 17.42 i benderfynu gwahardd y cyhoedd o'r cyfarfod
Thank you. In which case, I'd be grateful if we could be moved into private session.

Cynnig o dan Reol Sefydlog 17.42 i benderfynu gwahardd y cyhoedd o'r cyfarfod
Well, on that point, therefore, I propose, in accordance with Standing Order 17.42(ix), that the committee resolves to meet in private for our final item. Are Members content?

Thank you.

Thank you. Well, on that note, then—. We've all got more questions that we'd love to ask you, but none of us, unfortunately, has the time for that. So, can I thank you again very much for attending today and for the extra time you've given us answering your…

Adfywio Canol Trefi: Sesiwn dystiolaeth
Thank you. Well, if I may conclude then by just asking if there's any points that you'd like to raise with us that you haven't already covered, either in the context of the 'Small Towns, Big Issues' report or actions that you believe the Welsh Government…

You're okay until half past. Do you want ask to continue with the questioning or—? Perhaps we'll go on for five more minutes, and we'll be as condensed as we can in our final points. Mike.

Members, how much time can you—?
16 Mehefin 2022 , Public Accounts and Public Administration Committee
Adfywio Canol Trefi: Sesiwn dystiolaeth
We can't do that. [Laughter.]

Adfywio Canol Trefi: Sesiwn dystiolaeth
Thank you. In fact, I should declare I used to work in a building society and sat on the board of a housing association, and I recall the Moseley village approach in the 1990s, which seems to have followed the model you're now advocating. But I'm conscious…

Thank you very much indeed. In that case, Rhianon Passmore.

Adfywio Canol Trefi: Sesiwn dystiolaeth
Thank you. In that case, could I invite Rhun ap Iorwerth to take up a question?

Adfywio Canol Trefi: Sesiwn dystiolaeth
Thank you very much indeed. I'm conscious the clock is ticking. I'd be grateful if questioners and our witness could be as concise as possible in your questions and answers. Mike Hedges, if you could take up the questions, please.

Can I bring in my colleague Natasha Asghar, please?

Adfywio Canol Trefi: Sesiwn dystiolaeth
Thank you. I'll pass over to colleagues. Just one comment: Tai Clwyd in Denbigh, which is now part of the Grŵp Cynefin housing association group, many years ago pioneered small, town-centre infill developments—mixed tenure, so open market, intermediate and…

Adfywio Canol Trefi: Sesiwn dystiolaeth
Thank you. And perhaps one of the lessons to be learned from experiences in other towns and cities, across the UK and beyond, is the risk that that can lead to the sort of gentrification that prices out local people, rather than the sort of development that…
16 Mehefin 2022 , Public Accounts and Public Administration Committee
Adfywio Canol Trefi: Sesiwn dystiolaeth
Thank you. I'm conscious that, obviously, the clock is ticking, so I'll just comment, because I'm sure my colleagues will pick up on this later. One thing you didn't mention was local development plans and the roles they might play, where we know the absence…
16 Mehefin 2022 , Public Accounts and Public Administration Committee
Adfywio Canol Trefi: Sesiwn dystiolaeth
That's very useful. I think the question was: what, if anything, you believe the Welsh Government, in the role it can play, can do to influence the behaviour of developers, whether they're for profit or not for profit?
16 Mehefin 2022 , Public Accounts and Public Administration Committee
Adfywio Canol Trefi: Sesiwn dystiolaeth
Thank you. Developing on that, you mentioned, for example, the need to engage with FE colleges and others years ahead to retain that potential future development in the town centre. But to what extent do you believe the Welsh Government itself has a role to…

Adfywio Canol Trefi: Sesiwn dystiolaeth
Thank you. Rhianon.
16 Mehefin 2022 , Public Accounts and Public Administration Committee
Adfywio Canol Trefi: Sesiwn dystiolaeth
Okay, thank you. Again, to what extent do you consider that the 'town centre first' policy approach is deliverable and what else might you suggest that the Welsh Government needs to do to deliver on its ambitions, including those around transport access?

I was interested by your reference to Bangor University. As a parent, three of my children went to Bangor University. One of them, although she lived near the centre of town where the main university building is located, her department was located on the…

Adfywio Canol Trefi: Sesiwn dystiolaeth
Thank you very much indeed and, again, thank you for being with us today. We have a series of questions for you involving all Members, but I'll begin those questions first. So, in your view, to what extent overall has the Welsh Government created a coherent…

Bore da. Croeso. Good morning. Welcome back to the Public Accounts and Public Administration Committee in the Senedd. Now, we're going into our public evidence session on regenerating town centres, and I welcome our witness, Karel Williams. Could Karel please…
