The Council / Y Cyngor
A Community Council is a type of local authority which is the lowest, or first, tier of local government.
The Council represents the local community on a wide range of matters, liaising with and making representations to Carmarthenshire County Council, the Welsh Government, Dyfed Powys Police and many other organisations on a regular basis. It has a statutory right to be consulted on some matters, notably planning applications, highway and other environmental issues. The Council also supports other local organisations by providing small grants, and by offering assistance in relation to their activities, where possible.
One part time Clerk is employed to help with the administration of the Council’s affairs.
The Council’s activities are funded by a precept levied on all local households and collected as part of the Council Tax by Carmarthenshire Council Council. For 2020/21, the precept equivalent in Council Tax Band D is £107.67 per year. All of the Council’s activities and expenditure are monitored annually by independent auditors appointed by the Auditor General for Wales.
The Council is responsible for a range of local amenities and services. It also supports, normally through grants, a number of organisations who provide local services and facilities. The Council have recently taken over the maintenance and running of Bryn Avenue Park,Maes Elwyn Park both in Brynaman and also part of Ystradowen Park,Ystradowen.The playgrounds at Rhosaman and Cefnbrynbrain are also maintained by the Community Council.The Pride in Our Community project which has developed since last year as been as been a worthwhile excercise and the villages are much more attractive with the flower displays and hanging baskets.
Y Cyngor
Y Cyngor Cymuned yw’r haen isaf, neu ris gwaelod ar gyfer llywodraeth leol.
Mae’r cyngor yn cynrychioli'r gymuned leol ar raddfa eang o faterion, ac yn cysylltu â Chyngor Sir Gaerfyrddin, Llywodraeth Cymru, Heddlu Dyfed Powys a nifer o sefydliadau eraill yn rheolaidd. Ar rhai materion, mae’n statudol i gysylltu gyda’r Cyngor, yn enwedig am gais cynllunio, materion am heolydd ac am yr amgylchedd. Mae’r Cyngor, hefyd, yn cefnogi sefydliadau lleol gan roi grantiau, neu helpu gyda’u gweithgareddau, lle yn bosib.
Cyflogir clerc rhan amser i helpu gweinyddu materion y Cyngor. Ariennir gweithgareddau’r Cyngor gan archebiant a godwyd ar bob cartref lleol, age u cesglir fel rhan o Dreth y Sir gan Gyngor Sir Gaerfyrddin. Ar gyfer 2020/21, cywerth yr archebiant ar gyfer Band D Treth y Cyngor yw £107.67 y flwyddyn. Arolygir holl weithgareddau a gwariant yn flynyddol gan Archwiliwr Cyffredinol Cymru.
Mae’r Cyngor yn gyfrifol am amrediad o wasanaethau ac amwynderau lleol. Mae hefyd yn cynorthwyo, fel arfer trwy grantiau, nifer o sefydliadau sy’n darparu gwasanaethau a chyfleusterau yn lleol. Yn ddiweddar mae’r Cyngor wedi derbyn y gofal am gynnal a rhedeg Parc Bryn Avenue, Parc Maes Elwyn ym Mrynaman a rhan o Barc Ystradowen yn Ystradowen. Hefyd, cynhelir y parciau chwarae yn Rhosaman a Chefnbrynbrain.
