A fortnight ago, a motorcyclist was killed on what is unfortunately called the ‘“Evo” triangle’, which is a series or network of roads in the Pentrefoelas-Cerrigydrudion area, which has been promoted by the ‘Evo’ car magazine as a good place to test your driving skills and to push your car to the limit. Now, all of this, over a period of time, has created a culture where you can now buy car stickers and t-shirts that promote this as some sort of destination. It’s described as a life-size Scalextric track. It’s called ‘Disney World for driving enthusiasts’. But the result, of course, is that people are killed on these roads. Just Sunday, there were two fatal accidents on the A5, a stone’s throw from that area.

So, could I ask for a statement by the Cabinet Secretary for the economy explaining what the Government is going to do to tackle this issue, because we need a multi-agency approach to tackle this, or otherwise I do fear that we won’t see this coming to an end? But, I would also ask the Government to consider whether ‘Evo’ magazine has crossed a line here in the way that they have been promoting the ‘“Evo” triangle’. And is there scope to refer that publication to IPSO, the Independent Press Standards Organisation, because public roads aren’t racetracks, and we must put a stop to this, once and for all?

Rwyf hefyd yn ymwybodol bod yr Ysgrifennydd cymunedau wedi gwneud cyfres o ddatganiadau ynghylch diogelwch rhag tân yn ddiweddar. Ond yn dilyn y tân tŵr ofnadwy yr ydym i gyd, wrth gwrs, yn gwybod amdano yn ddiweddar, a oes modd inni hefyd gael datganiad gan Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet yn egluro beth mae'r Llywodraeth yn bwriadu ei wneud i sicrhau nad yw’r gwasanaeth tân yn y gogledd yn wynebu toriadau pellach ar ôl yr hyn sydd wedi bod yn ddegawd o dorri yn ôl ar wasanaethau?  Gwyddom y collwyd 20 y cant o’r diffoddwyr tân yng Nghymru dros y 10 mlynedd diwethaf, a bod cynigion bellach hefyd i gael gwared ar oddeutu 24 o'n diffoddwyr tân yn y gogledd—dyna un o bob chwech o'r holl ddiffoddwyr tân sydd gennym—a hefyd i gael gwared ar un o'r ddwy injan dân sy'n gwasanaethu ardal Wrecsam. Cyni sy'n gyrru’r agenda hon, tra mai achub bywydau ddylai fod yn flaenoriaeth inni, wrth gwrs. Felly, onid ydych yn cytuno bod torri ar wasanaethau rheng flaen fel hyn yn gwbl annerbyniol, ac mae angen datganiad yn esbonio yn union beth y mae'r Llywodraeth yn mynd i’w wneud am y peth?
