19/47 MATERION YN CODI / MATTERS ARISING
Cof/Min 19/37 a/and 19/38 (1) A40 SGWAR DRYSLWYN SQUARE, DRYSLWYN / BROAD OAK / DIOGELWCH Y FFYRDD / ROAD SAFETY – A40
Roedd Mr John Williams o “Gan Bwyll” yn bresennol a dywedodd ei fod wedi argymell i Lywodraeth Cymru (LlC) y dylai’r gilfan yn Nerwen-fawr gael ei defnyddio fel safle bws yn unig. Roedd y Cynghorydd Campbell wedi gwneud cais tebyg ac, yn ôl ymateb CSC, roedd y cynnig wedi’i gynnwys yn system flaenoriaethu LlC. Nododd Mr Williams eto fod LlC yn y broses o gynnal ymchwiliad i 600 o ffyrdd a fyddai’n cymryd tair blynedd i’w gwblhau.
Yn ddiweddar, roedd cyfyngiadau cyflymder o 40mya wedi cael eu gosod (dros dro) rhwng croesffordd Derwen-fawr a chroesffordd Sgwâr Dryslwyn. Nid oedd yn eglur pam y gwnaed hyn.
Awgrymwyd y dylid gwneud ymholiadau i LlC ynghylch y rhesymau dros y cyfyngiadau cyflymder hyn a gofyn am iddynt gael eu hehangu i gynnwys y ddwy groesffordd gan mai dyma lle roedd y pryderon ynghylch diogelwch.
Teimlwyd ei bod yn briodol rhoi gwybod hefyd y gallai hyd at bum bws ysgol/coleg fod yn defnyddio’r gilfan yn ystod y tymor, gyda’r plant/bobl ifanc yn gorfod croesi’r ffordd lle nad oedd cyfyngiadau cyflymder ar y pryd. Byddai’r clerc yn trefnu hyn.
Awgrymodd Mr Williams hefyd y dylai’r Cyngor ysgrifennu at y prif gwmnïau cyfleustodau yn gofyn am i’w gweithwyr beidio â pharcio yn y gilfan wrth iddynt wneud gwaith atgyweirio yn y cyffiniau. Byddai’r clerc yn ysgrifennu atynt ac yn cynnwys CSC.
Mr John Williams from “Go Safe” was in attendance and advised that he had recommended to Welsh Government (WG) that the lay-by in Broad Oak be classed as a Bus Stop only. Cllr. Campbell had also made this request and a reply from CCC stipulated that the proposal was within WG prioritisation system. Mr Williams again pointed out that WG were in the process of carrying out a 600 road enquiry that would take 3 years to complete.
Recently, 40mph speed restrictions had been imposed (temporarily) between the Broad Oak crossroads and the Dryslwyn Square crossroads. It was unclear why this had been done.
It was suggested that enquires were made to WG asking the reasons for these speed restrictions and to request that they be extended to include the two crossroads as this was where the safety concerns were.
It was felt appropriate to advise also that there could be up to 5 school/college buses using the lay-by during term time with children/young people having to cross the road where currently there were no speed restrictions. The clerk to arrange.
Mr Williams also suggested that the council write to the main utility companies requesting that their employees do not park in the lay-by whilst carrying out repairs within the vicinity. The clerk to write and include CCC.
Cof./Min 19/38 (3) GYFFORDD GER CAPEL CROSS INN / SIOP DRYSLWYN / JUNCTION NEAR CROSS IN CHAPEL / DRYSLWYN SHOP.
Nodwyd bod yr offer cyfrif cyflymder bellach wedi cael eu symud ac y byddai adroddiad yn cael ei lunio. Cytunodd y Cynghorydd C. Campbell i fynd ar drywydd y mater.
It had been noted that the speed counters had now been removed and that a report would be forthcoming. Cllr. C. Campbell agreed to follow up the matter.

Cof/Min 19/38 (6) BAW CWN / DOG FOULING – FELINDRE / CASTELL DRYSLWYN CASTLE
Roedd baw cwn yn broblem o hyd yn yr ardaloedd hyn. Cafwyd trafodaeth ynghylch lleoliad arwyddion a biniau. Byddai’r clerc yn cysylltu â CSC ac yn holi a fyddai’r biniau yn cael eu gwagio yn rheolaidd.
The problem of dog fouling in these areas remained. A discussion took place regarding the positioning of signs and bins. The clerk to enquire with CCC and to ascertain that any bins would be emptied on a regular basis.
Cof/Min 19/38 (7) AGE CYMRU
I’w adolygu yn y cyfarfod nesaf. To review in the next meeting.
Cof/Min 19/43 (2) Castell Dryslwyn CASTLE, Dryslwyn
Trafodwyd eto fater y coed bach yn tyfu y tu allan i dir y castell. Hefyd, mewn man lle mae rhan o wal y castell yn isel, roedd coeden wedi tyfu dros y wal a thros y briffordd. Byddai’r clerc yn rhoi gwybod i Gyngor Sir Caerfyrddin a Cadw.
