Nid oedd y biniau ar ochr y ffyrdd wedi cael eu casglu gan CSC am wythnos neu fwy mewn llawer o ardaloedd.  Roedd hyn oherwydd problemau yn ymwneud â chontractau.

Cllr Hefin Jones advised members that the setting of the council tax would see an increase but as yet the amount had not been decided on, an anticipated figure would be 9.75%

The recent storms had left damage issues on many roads, with B roads perhaps suffering the most.  His advice was to report any issues as soon as possible.

Dywedodd y Cyng. Hefin Jones fod proses gosod cyllideb CSC wedi dechrau. Roedd yna ddiffyg o £20 miliwn. Byddai angen i Lywodraeth Cymru godi’r gyllideb 3-4%, a byddai angen cyllideb ddrafft gan y llywodraeth cyn gosod y gyllideb sirol.

Yn anffodus, roedd yna ddiffyg yn yr ysgol.

Roedd Cefin Campbell AoS yn ymchwilio i dlodi gwledig.

Roedd trafodaeth wedi dechrau ynglŷn â datganoli Ystadau’r Goron.

Roedd ffyrdd gwledig yn parhau i fod yn broblem.

Hwb Bach y Wlad, gwasanaeth i gynnig cymorth mewn sawl maes, e.e. materion gwresogi, credyd pensiwn, cymorth i wneud cais am fudd-daliadau/cymorthdaliadau

Awgrymwyd darparu dolen i’r gwasanaeth hwn ar wefan y gymuned ac arddangos taflenni yn lleol.

Cllr Hefin Jones advised that the CCC budget setting process had begun.  There is a £20 million deficit.  A budget uplift of 3 – 4% is needed from Welsh Government and the draft budget from government would be required before county budget is set.

There is, unfortunately, a school deficit.

Cefin Campbell MS is looking into rural poverty.

A debate has commenced regarding to devolve Crown Estates.

Rural roads remain an issue.

Hwb Bach y Wlad, a service to offer help in many areas eg heating issues, pension credit, help to apply for benefits/support

A suggestion to provide a link to this service on the community website and to display flyers
