Trist iawn i glywed am farwolaeth Terry Davies MBE. Gwasanaethodd Terry Plwyf Gorslas ar y Cyngor Gymuned Gorslas am sawl blwyddyn a hefyd fel Cynghorydd Sir. Buodd Terry yn Gadeirydd Cyngor Cymuned Gorslas 6 o weithiau. Mr Gorslas oedd Terry Davies gyda’i gwreiddiau yn ddwfn yn y pentref. Cydymdeimlwn gyda’i deulu a ffrindiau.
Sad to hear of the death of Terry Davies MBE. Terry served on the Community Council for Gorslas Ward for many years and also as a County Councillor. Terry was Mr Gorslas, with his roots deep in Gorslas and the Gwendraeth Valley. Our sympathy goes to his family and friends.

Diolch i blant a staff Ysgol Drefach am ddod lawr i Barc Drefach heddiw i weld a chlywed hanes y Tolldy wrth Gyng Clive Green a Chyng Nia Lewis.
Congratulations to Gorslas Welfare Association for hosting ‘Gwyl Gorslas’ Saturday 14 September. Lovely to see everyone enjoying the fair, tug of war, different vehicles and stalls in the sun. Thank you for your hard work organising and preparing the event.
31.07.24 – MUGA Parc Cefneithin
Mae Cyngor Cymuned Gorslas yn falch o gyhoeddi bod contractwr wedi cysylltu a i wneud atgyweiriadau parhaol ar ôl sawl gweithred o fandaliaeth ar MUGA Cefneithin fel y gellir parhau i ddefnyddio’r gofod chwarae gwerthfawr hwn. Yn anffodus, mae costau atgyweirio difrod a achosir gan fandaliaeth yn sylweddol ac os yw’n parhau, efallai y bydd yn rhaid cau cyfleusterau fel hyn. Gobeithiwn y bydd unrhyw aelodau o’n cymuned sy’n gweld y MUGA yn cael ei ddifrodi yn dod ymlaen ac yn rhoi gwybod i ni. Gadewch i ni gadw ein lleoedd chwarae ar agor i bawb!!
Gorslas Community Council is pleased to announce that after repeated acts of vandalism on Cefneithin MUGA that a contractor has been engaged to make permanent repairs so that this valued play space can continue to be used. Sadly the costs of repairing damage caused by vandalism is significant and if it continues, facilities like this may have to be closed. We hope that any members of our community who see the MUGA being damaged will come forward and let us know. Let’s keep our spaces open for all!!!
23.07.24 Maes Parcio Gorslas

Baw Cwn:
Mae hyn yn broblem ym mharciau Gorslas, Drefach a Chefneithin. Er fod y rhan helaeth o berchnogion yn codi a bagio y baw mae na nifer fach sydd ddim yn gwneud. O ganlyniad mae plant bach sy’n chwarae yn y parc wedi codi y baw ar ei sgydiau neu dwylo. Cyngor swyddogion y Cyngor Sir ydy i chi beidio ceisio taclo yr unigolion yma eich hunan. Fe ddylid cofnodi ddigwyddiadau o’r fath ar wefan y Cyngor Sir trwy ddefnyddio y ddolen gyswllt canlynol. Nid oes rhaid rhoi eich manylion personol. https://www.carmarthenshire.gov.wales/home/council-services/recycling-bins-and-litter/litter/dog-fouling/
neu trwy e bostio CEContactCentre@carmarthenshire.gov.uk
Dog Fouling:
This a problem in Gorslas, Drefach and Cefneithin Parks. Although most owners pick up after their dogs a small number of irresponsible owners do not. As a result small children innocently playing in the parks have trodden in the dog mess or got it on their hands. The advice from the County Council is not for the public to directly approach to the owners in such circumstances. They are advised to report any such incidents to the County Council using the following link https://www.carmarthenshire.gov.wales/home/council-services/recycling-bins-and-litter/litter/dog-fouling/
Alternatively, you can e mail the County Council direct at CEContactCentre@carmarthenshire.gov.uk

Dydd Sul 02.07.23 fe ddaeth tua 60 o yrwyr First Cymru, teulu a ffrindiau Joe (Eifion Lewis) at ei gilydd i gofio amdano a dadorchuddio plac i gofio amdano. Un ar sedd ger safle bws ar sgwâr Drefach ac un arall ar sedd roedd gyrwyr First Cymru wedi cyfrannu yn hael iawn iddi ym mharc Drefach. Diwrnod o deimladau cymysg gydag ambell stori ag atgof doniol wedi rhannu.
02.07.23 Commemorative Event to Remember Joe from Drefach.
On Sunday 02.07.23 some 60 First Cymru bus drivers, family and fries of Joe (Eifion Lewis) came together to remember him and to unveil commemorative plaques. One on the bench by the bus shelter at Drefach square and the other on a bench in Drefach Park which the bus drivers had contributed very generously towards. It was a day of mixed emotions for all with memories and the occasional some funny story being shared.

13.06.22 Parc Gorslas : Lloches Ieuenctid.
Ar ol nifer o achosion o ymddygiad gwrth gymdeithasol a cynnau tan a phryderon wrth yr heddlu mae y Cyngor wedi penderfynu fod rhaid cael gwared o’r unded. Disgwylir i’r gwaith gael ei gwbwlhau o fewn wythnos. Wrth wneud y penderfyniad gobeithi y Cyngor yn fawr iawn fyd ieuenctid yn medru elwa o’r adnodde cymunedol fydd ar gael ar safle ysgol newydd cynradd Gymunedol Gorslas.
Gorslas Park: Teen Shelter
After a number of incidents of anti social behaviour and the setting of fires and concerns expressed by the police the Council has resolved to remove the shelter. The work will begin immediately and is expected to be completed within a week. In reaching this difficult decision the Community Council were mindful of the alternative options which the community facilities at the new Gorslas Community Primary school could offer youngsters.
13.12.21 Parc Gorslas: Ardal Chwarae yn ail-agor wedi buddsoddiad o £100k.

Gorslas Park : Play Area re-opens after £100k Investment
What a great Christmas present! The play area in the park has re-opened following a £100k investment in new play equipment following a successful bid by the Community Council for the release of section 106 monies for the area, together with a very generous donation from Gorslas Welfare Association. Thank you to everyone involved.
Parc Cefneithin. Darparu Offer Newydd.
Disgwylir i’r gwaith o ddarparu offer newydd yn y parc gael ei gwbwlhau erbyn dydd Gwener 17.12.21.
Cefneithin Park: Provision of new Play Equipment
It is expected that works to provide new play equipment will be completed during w/e 17.12.21
Os oes gennych farn, syniadau neu sylw ar y mater felly, byddai’r Cyngor yn ddiolchgar o’u derbyn drwy ebost – cyn diwedd y mis – er mwyn gallu eu hystyried cyn dod i benderfyniad: gorslas.cc.clerk@gmail.com.
01.07.21 Cais am Gyfarpar Chwarae Newydd
Mae’r Cyngor Cymuned wedi cyflwyno cais i Gyngor Sir Caerfyrddin am gyllid o oddeutu £93K er mwyn adnewyddu cyfarpar chwarae ym mharciau Gors-las a Chefneithin. Mae’r cyllid – sy’n cael ei alw’n arian Section 106 – yn deillio yn sgil datblygiadau diweddar mewn adeiladu tai newydd yn yr ardaloedd hyn.
Mae hon yn fenter gyffrous sydd wedi tarddu o drafodaethau gyda disgyblion ysgolion cynradd Gors-las a Chefneithin. Mae Cymdeithas Llesiant Gorslas hefyd wedi bod yn rhan o’r trafodaethau, ac wedi ymrwymo i dalu gwariant ychwanegol o £6K i brynu offer i Barc Gors-las yn benodol.
Dros y blynyddoedd diweddar, bu’n rhaid tynnu nifer o’r cyfarpar chwarae o’r parciau oherwydd eu hoed a’u cyflwr. Os yw’r cais yn llwyddiannus fodd bynnag, yna bydd gan y parciau hyn offer newydd erbyn mis Medi/Hydref, gobeithio.
Gellir gweld manylion y cynlluniau yn y lluniau isod, ac mae’r Cyngor yn gwahodd sylwadau trigolion lleol arnynt, drwy eu danfon at: Gorslas.CC.Clerk@gmail.com.
Byddwn yn rhoi diweddariad ar y mater cyn gynted ag y bydd penderfyniad ar y cais.
Er bod y cyllid Section 106 yn cyfyngu’r cais cyfredol ac yn nodi’r symiau allai fod ar gael i barciau Gors-las a Chefneithin, dymuniad y Cyngor Cymuned yw i wella’r adnoddau sydd yn ei holl barciau. Bydd felly yn parhau i fod yn rhagweithiol wrth edrych am gyflëoedd pellach i gyllido gwelliannau i adnoddau Drefach, Cefneithin a Gors-las.
Parks and Play Areas
New Play Equipment Bid
The Community Council has submitted a bid to Carmarthenshire County Council for funds amounting to £93k to update play equipment in Gors-las and Cefneithin parks. The funding – known as Section 106 monies – derives from recent new housing developments in these areas.
This is an exciting initiative stemming from previous discussions with pupils at Gors-las and Cefneithin Primary Schools. Gors-las Welfare Association have also been involved in the initiative and have generously agreed to donate an additional £6k for the purchase of specific equipment for Parc Gors-las.
Over recent years, several play items have had to be removed from the parks due to their age and condition. However, should the bid prove successful, the parks will have new items of equipment in place by September/October, hopefully.
Details of the proposals are provided below, and the Council welcomes residents’ views on the plans which can be emailed to: Gorslas.CC.Clerk@gmail.com.
We will give an update on the bid as soon as a decision is made.
Whilst the Section 106 requirements limit the current bid and stipulates the funds available to both Gors-las and Cefneithin parks, the Community Council wishes to improve facilities in all its parks. It will therefore continue to be proactive in looking for further funding opportunities to upgrade facilities at Drefach, Cefneithin and Gors-las Parks.
Caets Chwarae Cefneithin MUGABydd parciau yn aros ar agor cyhyd â bod y canllawiau ar yr arwyddion yno yn cael eu dilyn. Os na ddilynir y canllawiau yna bydd y Cyngor yn cadw ei hawl i gau y cyfleusterau.
Nid yw’r offer nac arwynebeddau cyfleusterau yn y parciau, mannau chwarae na thoiledau cyhoeddus Gorslas yn cael eu glanhau’n hylan. Mae defnyddwyr felly yn gyfrifol am eu Iechyd a’u Diogelwch eu hunain, yn ogystal â’r rheiny dan eu gofal, a dylid dilyn y cyngor a’r canllawiau ar yr arwyddion bob amser.
Cadwch eich pellter.
Mae’r canllawiau hyn wedi eu llunio i geisio: rheoli lledaeniad coronafirws; arbed bywydau, ac ysgafnhau y pwysau sydd ar y Gwasanaeth Iechyd a gweithwyr gofal. Mwynhewch yr adnoddau felly gan ddilyn y canllawia
Parks will remain open subject to adherence to the guidelines provided on signage in those areas. Should the guidance not be followed, the Council will maintain its right to close the facilities.
The equipment and surfaces in the parks, play areas and Gors-las Toilets are not sanitised. The responsibility for Health and Safety – as well as those in your care – rests with users. Do not ignore the advice and guidance as stated on the signage.
Keep your distance from others.

Ar hyn o bryd Y Cyngor Cymunedol yw perchennog y parc gan gynnwys Y Neuadd a’r tir o’i amgylch. Mae’r Cyngor Cymuned yn ymwybodol o gefndir sefydlu’r Neuadd a’r rhan a chwaraeodd Y Gymdeithas Llesiant ac eraill yn hynny. Mae’r Cyngor yn ystyried trosglwyddo perchnogaeth y neuadd a chyfran o dir cyfagos i’r Gymdeithas Llesiant gyda’r amod y gall ond gael ei ddefnyddio at bwrpas neuadd bentref, ac y byddai’n dychwelyd at berchnogaeth y Cyngor pe na byddai’n cael ei ddefnyddio i’r pwrpas hwnnw neu bod y Gymdeithas Llesiant yn darfod. Does dim penderfyniad terfynol wedi’i wneud eto. Os oes gennych unrhyw farn neu sylwadau ar y cais danfonwch nhw at y Clerc erbyn Mawrth 2il, 2020.
