Read our Manifesto in full on:

www.plaidsirgar.org

Mae 74 sedd ar y Cyngor, a’r aelodaeth bresennol yw : 30 Plaid Cymru, 28 Annibynnol, 10 Llafur, 4 heb gysylltiad, 1 Democrat Rhyddfrydol ac un lle gwag. Ers Mai 2008 mae’r glymblaid Annibynnol, Llafur a Deomcrat Rhyddfrydol o dan arweiniad y Cyng Meryl Gravell wedi atal 30 o gynghorwyr Plaid Cymru rhag llanw unrhyw swydd o bwys, megis cadeiryddiaeth pwyllgorau etc. Credwn fel Plaid y dylid cynnwys y prif grwpiau i gyd yn y strwythurau sy’n gwneud penderfyniadau yn enw’r Cyngor. Credwn hefyd y dylai cyfarfodydd y Cyngor gael eu recordio yn llawn. • Mynychu a chyd-weithio gyda 2 Gyngor

Cymuned - Llanfihangel-ar-arth a Llanllwni . • Cynnal syrjeri misol - Pafiliwn Pencader Nos

Fercher 1af Mis.6-7yh • Aelod o fwrdd Antur Teifi • Aelod o fwrdd Pwerdy Pont- tyweli • Mynychu a chefnogi llawer o bwyllgorau

mudiadau lleol. • Llywodraethwraig ysgolion Llanllwni a Cae’r

Felin. • Cefnogi’r gymdeithas amaethyddol a Mudiad

Ffermwyr Ifanc • Cynorthwyo mudiadau lleol sy’n ceisio am

grantiau trwy lythyru a’u cyfeirio at ffynonellau perthnasol.

• Derbyniwyd cynnig o’m heiddo bod y

Cynllun Datblygu Lleol newydd yn nodi na ddylai twrbeini gwynt fod o fewn 1.5km i gartrefi.

• Gwrthwynebu cau cartrefi’r henoed sydd o dan reolaeth y Cyngor Sir.

• Brwydro i geisio sicrhau bod cartref Cwm Aur Llanybydder yn darparu gwasanaeth seibiant sy’n hanfodol i ofalwyr/teulu.

• Ymladd i sicrhau diogelwch cerddwyr a thraffic ar y ffyrdd.

• Cwestiynnu pa mor amal mae Cynghorwyr yn mynychu cynadleddau a beth mae’r Cyngor Sir a’r etholwyr yn elwa o hyn.

• Cefnogi addysg yn y gymuned drwy ddiogelu ysgolion pentrefol.

• Codi’r ymwybyddiaeth am bwysigrwydd tai lleol i bobol lleol.

• Cefnogi a hyrwyddo pob mudiad ieuenctid, dyma ein dyfodol.

There are 74 seats on the Council. At present there are 30 Plaid Cymru, 28 Independent, 10 Labour, 4 non-affiliated, 1 Liberal Democrat and 1 vacant seat. Since May 2008 the Independent, Labour & Liberal Democrat coalition under the leadership of Coun. Meryl Gravell have prevented 30 Plaid Councillors from filling any office of note, such as chairs of committees etc. We believe as Plaid that all the main groups should be included in the structures that make the Council’s decisions. We also believe that Council meetings should be fully recorded. • Attending and working with the 2 Community

councils – Llanfihangel-ar-arth and Llanllwni. • Holding monthly surgeries - Pencader

Pavilion, 6-7pm first Wednesday of month. • Member of Antur Teifi board. • Member of Pont-tyweli Powerhouse board. • Attending and supporting a number of local

committees. • Governor of Llanllwni and Cae’r Felin

schools • Supporting the agricultural community and

the Young Farmers movement. • Helping local societies that apply for grants

through correspondence and putting them into contact with relevant sources of funding.

• My motion was passed by Council that the

New Local Development plan should include a specification that no wind turbine should be within 1.5km of homes.

• I have opposed the closure of Council controlled homes for the elderly.

• Campaigned to ensure that Cwm Aur Home in Llanybydder provide respite care - an essential service for carers/families.

• Campaigned for safer roads for pedestrians and traffic.

• Questioned the number of conferences attended by Councillors and the benefits to the Council and the electors.

• Supported education in the community and the safeguarding of village schools.

• Raised the importance of local housing for local people.

• Supported and promoted youth movements -they are our future.
