Ymchwiliad i ddarparu safleoedd ar gyfer cymunedau Sipsiwn, Roma a Theithwyr: sesiwn dystiolaeth 4
Yes, although, of course, some sites have been in existence for quite some time and some families have lived on those sites for decades, and I think they feel that their needs aren't always well understood and met, even though they're in one place and have…

Naomi, would you like to respond to that?

Okay, thank you, Naomi. We move on then to Jayne Bryant and I know we've already touched on—. Oh sorry, Carolyn Thomas wanted to come in first. Carolyn.

Ymchwiliad i ddarparu safleoedd ar gyfer cymunedau Sipsiwn, Roma a Theithwyr: sesiwn dystiolaeth 4
Okay. Thanks, Joel. Just in terms of the Act, and existing sites, we have heard concerns that Gypsy Travellers may be desperate to avoid—and I'm sure they would be—the confiscation of their homes and vehicles that are used for their livelihood and so on. And…

Okay. And finally from me, before we move on to other committee members, the Welsh Government's review of funding for sites—is there anything in particular that local authorities would like to see emerge from that process?

Ymchwiliad i ddarparu safleoedd ar gyfer cymunedau Sipsiwn, Roma a Theithwyr: sesiwn dystiolaeth 4
Okay. Daniel.

Ymchwiliad i ddarparu safleoedd ar gyfer cymunedau Sipsiwn, Roma a Theithwyr: sesiwn dystiolaeth 4
Okay. And Tim, you mentioned earlier the issue of, or the difficulties in, achieving co-ordination between local authorities and that they may be at different stages of the LDP process and so on. Do you see the corporate joint committees as offering much…

Ymchwiliad i ddarparu safleoedd ar gyfer cymunedau Sipsiwn, Roma a Theithwyr: sesiwn dystiolaeth 4
Okay. Before we go on, just a few questions from me. One is that I think many of us will be familiar with existing sites that are not at all appropriate in many ways—they might be cheek by jowl with very busy roads, no pavements outside, high levels of air…

Ymchwiliad i ddarparu safleoedd ar gyfer cymunedau Sipsiwn, Roma a Theithwyr: sesiwn dystiolaeth 4
And you might be able to get back to us and clarify that, Naomi? Yes. Okay. Diolch yn fawr. Mabon.

Just before Mabon continues with his questioning, in terms of transit sites, our understanding as a committee from previous evidence and data we've gathered is that there are no transit sites in Wales. There might be transit provision within other sites, but…

Daniel, is part of this, then, a wish to make sure that sites are well connected in terms of provision of local schools, local healthcare, public transport, which sort of suggests a more urban setting? And lots of the community would rather be, as you say…

Ymchwiliad i ddarparu safleoedd ar gyfer cymunedau Sipsiwn, Roma a Theithwyr: sesiwn dystiolaeth 4
Could I ask you, Daniel, or one of your colleagues, to say a little bit more about the mismatch you've identified between Welsh Government guidance and criteria relating to site provision, and where Gypsy, Roma and Traveller families actually want to live?…
9 Mehefin 2022 , Local Government and Housing Committee
Ymchwiliad i ddarparu safleoedd ar gyfer cymunedau Sipsiwn, Roma a Theithwyr: sesiwn dystiolaeth 4
Is it a two-year period because funding is being provided for that period, or—?

Ymchwiliad i ddarparu safleoedd ar gyfer cymunedau Sipsiwn, Roma a Theithwyr: sesiwn dystiolaeth 4
Daniel, did you say two years for that training?

Are there many examples, Tim, that you're aware of where planning permission has successfully been sought, and then land purchased subsequently?

Ymchwiliad i ddarparu safleoedd ar gyfer cymunedau Sipsiwn, Roma a Theithwyr: sesiwn dystiolaeth 4
I think Carolyn wants to come back in, but just in terms of those private sites, we've heard quite a lot of evidence already that there is quite a number of private sites that have actually been purchased by Gypsy, Roma, Traveller people, and they very often…

Mae cynnydd pellach i'w wneud, Andrew, ond dewch, os edrychwch ar yr amrywiaeth ar feinciau Llafur yn awr a thrwy gydol hanes datganoli a'i gymharu â'ch meinciau chi yn awr ac o'r blaen, nid oes cymhariaeth o gwbl. [Torri ar draws.] Darren, nid oes diben…
