GOFYNIAD PRAESEPT /  PRECEPT REQUIREMENT 2024 / 2025

Roedd Cyngor Sir Gâr wedi gwneud cais am ofyniad praesept 2024-2025.

Nid oedd manylion costau “Goleuadau Troedffordd” ar gyfer y flwyddyn ariannol uchod ar gael gan CSC. Roedd yr ad-daliad benthyciad blynyddol (prosiect goleuadau LED cymunedol) yn cyfateb i £538.63 (net) dros gyfnod o wyth mlynedd. Roedd yr anfoneb wedi dod i law.

Manylion am Derfyn Gwariant Adran 137 ar gyfer 2024-2025 – sef £10.81 yr etholwr. Roedd oddeutu 437 o etholwyr yn y plwyf.

Rheoliadau Awdurdodau Lleol (Cyfrifo Sylfaen y Dreth Gyngor) (Cymru) 1995: y ffigur ar gyfer cymuned Llangathen 2024-2025 oedd £279.59 – y dreth ar gyfer eiddo Band D

Ymchwiliwyd i Incwm a Gwariant Gwirioneddol y flwyddyn flaenorol, ynghyd â’r gwariant a’r gwariant amcangyfrifedig hyd at 31/3/24.

Ymchwiliwyd i’r holl feysydd gwariant ac ystyriwyd y costau. Roedd yr aelodau wedi gweithio ar leihau swm y cronfeydd wrth gefn, a byddid yn edrych ar hyn eto yn ystod y gyllideb nesaf i sicrhau bod cronfa wrth gefn ddigonol ond nid rhy fawr yn cael ei chadw.

Cytunwyd na ddylid cynyddu’r praesept.

Penderfynwyd y byddai’r praesept gofynnol ar gyfer 2024-2025 yn £9,000.

Trefnwyd i’r ffurflen gael ei harwyddo gan y clerc, fel y Swyddog Ariannol Cyfrifol, a’r Cadeirydd, a’i bod yn cael ei hanfon ymlaen i’r Adran Adnoddau, CSC.

The precept requirement for 2024 / 2025 was requested by Carmarthenshire County Council. 

Details of “Footway Lighting” charges for the above financial year unavailable from CCC The annual loan repayment (community LED lighting project) equates to £538.63 (net) over a eight year period, the invoice had been received.

Details of Section 137 Expenditure Limit for 2024/2025 – this being £10.81 per elector. There being approximately 437 electors within the parish.  

The Local Authorities (Calculation of Council Tax Base )(Wales) Regulations 1995, the figure for the Llangathen community 2024/2025 being 279.59 – levied for a Band D property.

Actual Income and Expenditure for the previous year was examined as was expenditure and estimated expenditure to 31/3/24.

All areas of expenditure were explored and costs considered. Members had worked on reducing the amount of reserves held and this again would be looked at during the next budget to ensure that sufficient but not too great a reserve was kept.

 It was agreed that  the  precept should not be increased.

It was resolved that the precept requirement for 2024/2025 be £9,000.  

Arrangements were made for the form to be signed by the clerk, as the Responsible Financial Officer and  Chair and to be forwarded to Resources Department, CCC       

ADRODDIAD Y CYNGHORYDD SIR / COUNTY COUNCILLORS REPORT

Roedd y Cyng. Hefin Jones wedi delio â’r mater parcio yn Nerwen-fawr ac wedi adrodd am fwd ar ffyrdd yn ardal Llangathen. Hefyd y coed a oedd wedi cwympo yng nghyffiniau Cilsan.

Roedd ymgynghori ar y gyllideb yn profi’n fater difrifol iawn oherwydd y cynnydd yn y galw ar wasanaethau cyhoeddus. Byddai gosod y dreth gyngor yn golygu cynnydd, ond hyd hynny nid oedd y swm wedi’i phennu. Roedd Jeremy Miles, y Gweinidog Addysg, wedi cyhoeddi y byddai’r codiad cyflog i athrawon yn cael ei dalu gan y Cyngor Sir – cyfanswm o tua £3 miliwn.

Roedd cyflwr y ffyrdd yn wael iawn, gydag ardaloedd gwledig yn dioddef llawer.

Cllr. Hefin Jones had dealt with the parking issue in Broad Oak and reported mud on roads in the Llangathen area. Also the fallen trees in the Cilsane vicinity. 

Budget consultation was proving to be a very serious matter due to increased demand on public services.  The setting of the council tax would see an increase but as yet the amount  had not been decided on.  Jeremy Miles, Minister for Education announced that the teachers pay increase will be borne  by the County Council – amounting to approximately £3 million

Road conditions are in a very poor state, with rural areas suffering greatly.

UNRHYW FATER ARALL / ANY OTHER BUSINESS

1. Roedd llythyr o ymddiswyddiad wedi dod i law oddi wrth y Cyng. Linda Hughes a oedd wedi gwasanaethu’r gymuned ers dros 40 mlynedd. Gwaetha’r modd, yn dilyn derbyn yr ymddiswyddiad, gofynnwyd i’r clerc anfon llythyr o ddiolch at y Cyng. Hughes a rhoi gwybod i CSC am y swydd wag

A letter of resignation had been received from Cllr. Linda Hughes who has served the community for over 40 years. Regrettably, having accepted the resignation, the clerk was asked to forward Cllr. Hughes a letter of thanks and to inform CCC of the vacancy.

2. Roedd cynghorwyr wedi cael gwybod bod y fainc ger pont Dryslwyn mewn cyflwr gwael. Am resymau diogelwch, cytunwyd ei bod yn cael ei symud. Byddai’r Cyng. Emyr Morgan yn trefnu bod hyn yn cael ei wneud.

Councillors had been advised that the bench sited near the Dryslwyn bridge was in a bad state of repair.  For safety purposes, it was agreed to have the bench removed.  Cllr. Emyr Morgan will arrange for this to be done.

3. Nodwyd bod faniau’n parcio dros nos yn rheolaidd yn y man picnic yng Nghastell Dryslwyn. Roeddent i gael eu monitro.

It had been noted that vans were regularly parked over night at the picnic area, Dryslwyn Castle.  To be monitored.

Gwelededd yn Nerwen-fawr – oherwydd perthi wedi gordyfu -Dywedodd yr aelodau fod gwaith wedi’iwneud i unioni’r mater hwn.  Ar ôl cau’r ffordd wrth gyffyrdd Derwen-fawr nodwyd bod yr arwyddion rhybudd wedi’u lleoli mewn mannau amhriodol gan gyfyngu ar allu modurwyr i weld ymhell. 

Visibility at Broad Oak – due to overgrown hedgerows – members reported that work had been carried out in order to rectify this matter.

Following the road closure at the Broad Oak junctions, it was noted that the warning signs had been inappropriately sited causing reduced visibility to motorists.

Cof/Min 23/43 (2)  ADEILAD CYFNEWIDFA BT/ BT EXCHANGE BUILDING, DRYSLWYN

Nid oedd adroddiadau am unrhyw faterion eraill yn ymwneud â’r broblem tipio anghyfreithlon yn ardal Llangathen wedi dod i law. Roedd lorïau wedi cael eu dargyfeirio, felly nid oedd rhagor o wybodaeth ar gael. 

Roedd Cyngor Sir Caerfyrddin wedi gwerthu Parc Dewi Sant, Caerfyrddin. 

Roedd Cyngor Sir Caerfyrddin yn cynnal ymarfer ‘dadansoddiad dwfn’ ac yn ystyried prynu/llogi cerbydau trydan yn rhan o’r prosiect datgarboneiddio. 

Roedd ESTYN wedi bod yn cynnal archwiliadau yn y sir. Nid oedd y canlyniadau ar gael eto. 

Mynegodd y Cyng. Jones ei siom ynghylch y sylwadau a wnaed gan yr AS Llafur Joyce Watson am sefyllfa TB yng Nghymru. A hithau’n sir lle mae 60% o’r ardal yn wledig, roedd yn peri gofid mawr i’r gymuned ffermio yn Sir Gaerfyrddin. 

Byddai’n trefnu i swyddog coed Cyngor Sir Caerfyrddin archwilio coeden afiach ar y maes yn Nerwen-fawr. 

Cllr. H. Jones reported that following the approval of the planning application at 1 Brynderi, Broad Oak, work to improve the parking facilities will commence.

No further matters regarding the fly tipping problem in the Llangathen area have been reported, lorries have been diverted so no further information available.

CCC have sold St Davids Park, Carmarthen.

CCC are carrying out a deep dive exercise and are looking into buying/hiring electric vehicles as part of the de-carbonised project.

ESTYN have been carrying out inspections in the county.  The results not yet available.

Cllr Jones commented on his disappointment on the remarks made by Labour MP Joyce Watson on the TB situation in Wales.  With 60% of Carmarthenshire being rural, it was very upsetting to farming community.

He will arrange for the tree officer, CCC to check on a diseased tree on The Green, Broad Oak. 

23/62 UNRHYW FATER ARALL / ANY OTHER BUSINESS

1. Yn dilyn glaw trwm parhaus yn ddiweddar ac ar ôl i ddraen dymchwel, dywedwyd bod llawer o ddwr yn cronni ar y maes yn Nerwen-fawr. Hefyd, roedd yna bryderon ynghylch coeden yn y cyffiniau. 

Byddai’r aelodau’n trafod â thrigolion lleol.

A discussion took place regarding the One Planet applications being put forward to CCC. It was anticipated that an information webinar would be accessible to members via CCC.

3. Cyflwynwyd awgrym i wella’r wefan. Gofynnwyd i’r clerc gysylltu â rheolwr y wefan i ofyn am syniad bras o ran nifer yr ymweliadau â’r safle. Byddai hefyd yn holi ynghylch cysylltu’r safle â sefydliadau/clybiau eraill yn yr ardal. Byddai’r clerc yn cael gwybod trwy Un Llais Cymru ynghylch y posibilrwydd o gynnal arolwg cymunedol. 

A suggestion to improvements the website was put forward.  The clerk was asked to contact the website manager to ask for an idea of visits to the site.  Also, to enquire regarding linking the site to other organisations/clubs in the area.  The clerk to find out via OVW in regard to the possibility of carrying out a community survey.

4. Roedd llawer o ddwr yn cronni ar y ffordd rhwng Cwmharad a Chwmagol.  Byddai’r clerc yn rhoi gwybod am hyn.
