Cymhlethwyd yr her o gyflawni'r weledigaeth hon ymhellach gan y gostyngiad sylweddol yn ein pŵer gwariant yn dilyn cwymp ariannol Llywodraeth y DU. O ganlyniad i Ddatganiad yr Hydref, bydd cyllidebau cyfalaf cyffredinol Llywodraeth Cymru 8.1% yn is yn 2024-25, a fydd yn golygu bod angen i ni wneud penderfyniadau anodd ar draws pob dull ar yr hyn y gallwn fforddio i’w symud ymlaen ar unwaith. Mewn meysydd fel rheilffyrdd nad ydynt wedi'u datganoli, mae angen nawr fwy nag erioed i Lywodraeth y DU gyflawni ei rhwymedigaethau cyllido i barhau i wneud cynnydd.
The challenge of delivering this vision has been further complicated by the significant reduction in our spending power following the UK Government’s financial crash. As a result of the Autumn Statement, the Welsh Government’s overall capital budgets will be 8.1% lower in 2024-25, which will mean we need to take some difficult decisions across all modes on what we can afford to progress immediately. In areas like rail which are not devolved, we need now more than ever for UK Government to fulfil its funding obligations to continue making progress.
