Roedd y Cyng. Cefin Campbell wedi ysgrifennu at Lywodraeth Cymru eto, yn amlinellu pryderon ynghylch diogelwch ar yr A40 – Sgwâr Dryslwyn a Derwen-fawr.

Nid oedd yr aelodau’n deall, oherwydd er gwaethaf llythyrau niferus a anfonwyd gan y clerc a’r Cyng. Campbell at Bennaeth yr Adran Cludiant, ni chafwyd ateb. Byddai’r clerc yn rhoi cynnig arall arni.
The issue regarding safety at Broad Oak remains a concern. School pupils having to cross the A40 in order to meet the school bus is a worry to some parents.
