• Dywedodd Ken Davies bod y Cyngor wedi derbyn siec wrth y Cyng. William Davies ar ôl iddo fynd â hen ffrâm ddringo’r neuadd a oedd yn pydri i’w drwsio. Doedd dim ffordd i’w drwsio a cynnigwyd £40 iddo gan ddyn o Gwm Morgan i’w brynu felly dyma’r taliad. 

10. MATERION ANGEN TRAFODAETH

• Defibrillator: The Chairman said that he had spoken to the owner of 'Square Hall' in Penrherber about putting a Defibrillator on the gable end of the house - they were happy to do so. The only thing is that it is difficult to get electricity there so one balloon will be needed. An issue can last about 5 years so there is no problem with this. Cllr. Guto Jones said he had spoken to Dewi the 'Electrician' and had spoken to Marlene and John Currado regarding the location of the Tanglwst Defibrillator and all three agreed that the Bus Shelter was the best place, yet there is no electricity there but it was agreed it would be a good location as it would be indoors and no permission would need to be sought as the Bus Sielter is owned by the Council. Ken Davies said that it would be a good idea to put Capel Iwan's Defibrillator in this Bus Shelter as it is in the heart of the Village. It was reported that Napin was also happy to install a Defibrillator at his home in Cwm Morgan. Ken Davies said that NCE Firefighters often went around the Defibrillators to check for battery but had not heard back from him for some time. The Clerk to speak to Emyr Jones.

We need to talk to Emyr Jones about doing this in the future. Cllr. Hazel Evans said that it is possible to get grants of around £500 to buy Defibrillators but they will need to be purchased first and then claim a grant. Cllr.

• Ken Davies said that the road from Bwlchcaebrith towards Penrherber is particularly dangerous when it is wet. Cllr. Hywel Bowen said the holes filled with water making it dangerous. He said the drain also tends to flood with water. Cllr. Hazel Evans to inquire. Cllr. Don Griffiths says there is no point in calling on the council if all they are doing is putting one shovel of tar to fill the holes rather than doing a tidy job.
• Cllr. Hywel Bowen stated that it is bad from Bwlchcaebrith Square down towards the village when it is raining because there is more water there than usual because there is not enough drainage. Cllr. Hazel Evans if the farmers don't make way for the water to go there's not much we can do.
