Fis Hydref diwethaf, lluniais ddatganiad ysgrifenedig i'r Cynulliad a nododd gynlluniau Cyngor Sir Fynwy i ailddatblygu safle'r farchnad da byw yn y Fenni ac adeiladu archfarchnad Morrisons ar y safle yn ogystal â llyfrgell newydd i'r dref.  Rhoddodd pwyllgor cynllunio'r Cyngor ganiatâd i ailddatblygu'r farchnad fis Mehefin diwethaf; ceir cynigion ar wahân i adeiladu marchnad newydd ger Rhaglan.
Last October, I made a written statement to the Assembly which set out Monmouthshire County Council’s plans to redevelop the site of the livestock market in Abergavenny, and to construct a Morrisons supermarket on the site as well as a new library for the town.  The Council’s planning committee granted permission for the redevelopment of the market last June; there are separate plans to construct a new market near Raglan.
