Correspondence had been received from Welsh Government (WG). They advised that speed limits on the trunk road network is reviewed in line with Setting Local Speed Limits in Wales guidance.

1.Mynegwyd llawer o bryder ynghylch llwybr y bysiau ysgol yng nghyffiniau Derwen-fawr.  Oherwydd bod y llwybr bysiau wedi’i newid, roedd bellach yn angenrheidiol i ddisgyblion groesi cefnffordd yr A40, yn y bore a’r prynhawn, er mwyn mynd ar y bws ysgol.  Roedd disgyblion o’r ysgolion canlynol yn defnyddio’r gwasanaeth bws yn Nerwen-fawr –Teilo Sant, Ysgol Gynradd Llandeilo, Bro Myrddin, Bro Dinefwr, Coleg Llanymddyfri.  Roedd diogelwch y plant hyn yn peri pryder mawr.  Nodwyd bod croesfan wedi’i chreu ym Mhontargothi.

 Much concern was expressed regarding the school bus route in the Broad Oak vicinity.  Due to the bus route having been altered, it is now necessary for pupils to cross the A40 trunk road, both morning and afternoon, in order to access the school bus.  Pupils from the following schools use the bus service at Broad Oak – Teilo Sant, Llandeilo CP, Bro Myrddin, Bro Dinefwr, Llandovery College.  The safety of these children is of great concern.  It has been noted that a crossing has been put in place in Pontargothi.
