Mae hi felly’n peri syndod bod y Canghellor wedi hawlio heddiw ei fod yn gwneud buddsoddiad unwaith mewn cenhedlaeth yn y seilwaith. Nid oedd unrhyw beth newydd i Gymru yn y datganiad heddiw. Er gwaetha’r galwadau ar i Lywodraeth y DU roi sicrwydd hirdymor i’r cymunedau yng Nghymru sydd wedi dioddef effaith stormydd a phroblemau diogelwch tomenni glo, ni wnaeth y Canghellor ymateb o gwbl i’r blaenoriaethau Cymreig hyn. Mae gennym gynlluniau buddsoddi uchelgeisiol ar gyfer Cymru gyfan y gallem eu rhoi ar waith pe bai mwy o gyfalaf ar gael i hybu ein hymdrechion i gefnogi economi Cymru wrth iddi adfer o effeithiau’r argyfwng Covid.
In light of this it is surprising that the Chancellor has today claimed to be making a once in a generation investment in infrastructure. There was nothing new for Wales in today’s statement. Despite calls for the UK Government to provide long term certainty for Welsh communities affected by storms and coal tip safety issues, there was no response from the Chancellor to these Welsh priorities. We have ambitious, Wales-wide investment plans which we could bring forward if more capital was available to boost our efforts to support the economy in Wales as it recovers from the impacts of the Covid crisis.
