Cymeradwywyd bod y cyfrifon canlynol yn cael eu talu, a pharatowyd sieciau yn unol â hynny:

The following accounts were approved for payment and cheques duly prepared:

                                                                                                                        £

Clerc/Clerk- Cyflog Mis Mawrth / March Salary                                          275.00

A list of organisations requesting financial assistance was issued to members.  After discussion, it was agreed to donate funds to the following:

                                                                                                £

Ysgol Cwrt Henri Parents & Teachers                                    400.00

CFFI Sir Gâr YFC                                                                  100.00

Cylch Meithrin Cwrt Henri                                                     400.00

Y Lloffwr                                                                               100.00

CCC Chair’s Appeal 2020/21                                                    50.00

Neuadd Llangathen Hall                                                         400.00

Ystafell Ddarllen Cwrt Henri Reading Room                        400.00

Y clerc i drefnu bod y sieciau’n cael eu hanfon ymlaen at y sefydliadau perthnasol

The clerk to arrange for the cheques to be forwarded to the relevant organisations.

Oherwydd cyfyngiadau COVID-19 a’r ffaith bod cyfarfodydd yn cael eu cynnal yn rhithwir, penderfynwyd y byddai’r clerc yn llofnodi sieciau fel y bo’n briodol. Byddai hyn yn lleihau’r angen i ymweld â dau Gynghorydd iddynt lofnodi sieciau.

Due to COVID restrictions and meetings being held virtually, it was resolved that the clerk would sign cheques as appropriate.  This would reduce the need to visit two Councillors for cheque signing.

It was proposed by Cllr. A. Davies and seconded by Cllr. E. Morgan that the minutes of the meeting held on Tuesday, 17^th November 2020 be accepted as a correct record of proceedings.

20/28  MATERION YN CODI /  MATTERS ARISING

Cof/Min 19/91 (1)  A40 SGWAR DRYSLWYN SQUARE, DRYSLWYN /  BROAD OAK / DIOGELWCH Y FFYRDD / ROAD SAFETY – A40

Dywedwyd bod y blychau metel a oedd yn sownd wrth yr arwyddion ffyrdd wedi’u tynnu i ffwrdd erbyn hyn.

It was reported that the metal boxes secured to the road signs have since been removed.

Cof/Min 20/15 (2) BT EXCHANGE BUILDING, DRYSLWYN

Nodwyd nad oedd unrhyw waith pellach wedi’i wneud yn y cyffiniau.

It had been noted that no further works had been carried out in this vicinity.

Cof/Min 20/24 (1) ROAD CWMHARAD I/TO SARNAGOL

Trafodwyd pryder ynghylch cwlfertau wedi’u blocio a dwr ar y ffordd.  Yr adborth oedd y byddai tasgau i liniaru’r problemau hyn yn cael eu cyflawni pan fyddai’r arian a’r adnoddau ar gael.  Fodd bynnag, rhan o’r broblem oedd y ffaith bod gormod o ddwr yn rhedeg oddi ar dir amaethyddol.

Concern regarding blocked culverts and water on the road was discussed.  The feed back was that tasks to alleviate these problems will be carried out when funds and resources are available.  However, part of the problem was due to excessive water running off agricultural land.

Cof/Min 20/24 (2) CAPEL CROSS INN – GRIT BOX

Rhagwelwyd y byddai blwch graean yn cael ei leoli yn y lleoliad hwn cyn hir.  Unwaith eto, roedd problemau o ran dwr ffo o dir amaethyddol wedi bod yn achosi problem yn yr ardal hon, wrth i ddwr lifo i’r Siop Gymunedol leol.

It is anticipated that a grit box will be sited at this location soon.  Again, problems regarding water run off from agricultural land had been causing an issue in this area, with water flowing into the local Community Shop.

Cof/Min 20/24 (3) POST AND RAILS, COURT HENRY

Cadarnhawyd mewn ateb gan Gyngor Sir Caerfyrddin mai perchennog y tir oedd yn gyfrifol am y difrod i’r pyst a’r rheiliau.

A reply from Carmarthenshire County Council confirmed that the damage to the post and rails were the responsibility of the land owner.

Cof/Min 20/24 (4) DAMAGED BENCH, SGWAR MILTWN/MILTON SQUARE, DRYSLWYN

Roedd y Cyng. Mark Williams, yn garedig iawn, wedi symud y fainc. Diolchwyd iddo gan ei gyd-gynghorwyr.

Cllr. Mark Williams had kindly removed the bench.  He was thanked by fellow Councillors.

Cof/Min 20/24 (5) ROAD FROM BROAD OAK TO CAPEL CROSS INN

Roedd y cynghorwyr yn dal i gael cwynion ynghylch cyflwr y ffordd gan fod yna lawer o fwd a graean yn bresennol. Unwaith eto, barnwyd mai ffosydd wedi’u blocio a llawer o ddwr yn rhedeg oddi ar dir amaethyddol oedd y broblem, ynghyd â’r ffaith bod peiriannau amaethyddol yn fawr iawn o’u cymharu â maint y ffyrdd. Byddai Cyngor Sir Caerfyrddin yn archwilio’r ardal.

Councillors were continuing to receive complaints regarding the condition and state of the road.  There being much mud and grit present.  Again, blocked ditches and much water run off from agricultural land was deemed to be the issue along with agricultural machinery being very large in comparison with the size of the roads.  CCC will inspect the area.

Roedd tyllau yn y ffordd yn dal i fod yn broblem yn y pentref, ac roedd y ffyrdd sy’n arwain at y pentref mewn cyflwr gwael iawn. Y farn oedd bod angen ailosod yr arwynebau’n llwyr. Byddai’r Clerc yn cyfleu’r neges i Gyngor Sir Caerfyrddin.

Whilst is was reported that water was flowing slightly better than previously reported, it was noted that the matter of a complete solution remained in hand.  Potholes continue to be a problem within the village and the roads approaching the village are in a very poor state of repair. It was considered that complete resurfacing was needed. The clerk to report to CCC .
