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.

Cof/Min 20/24 (6) FELINDRE – BLOCKED DRAIN

Dywedwyd bod yna draen wedi’i blocio’n llwyr ar y ffordd rhwng Sgwâr Milton a Felindre. Byddai’r Cyng. E. Morgan yn trefnu ei bod yn cael ei chlirio.

A totally blocked drain was reported on the Milton Square to Felindre road. Cllr. E. Morgan would arrange for this to be cleared.

Cof/Min 20/24 (6)  FELINDRE – POT HOLES

Er y dywedwyd bod y dwr yn llifo ychydig yn well nag yr oedd o’r blaen, nodwyd bod angen rhagor o waith cyn cael datrysiad llawn. 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 .

19/77 CARAVAN IN FIELD NEAR GLANDWR, LLANGATHEN

It was confirmed that the caravan in field had been removed.
