Cyllideb 2023-24
Cyflwynwyd cyllideb ddrafft i'w thrafod. Byddai hyn yn cael ei drafod ymhellach yn y cyfarfod nesaf ond rhoddwyd ystyriaeth i rai penawdau cyllideb a gynyddwyd megis yswiriant, lwfans aelodau a hyfforddiant, parciau a chynnal a chadw tiroedd, tra bod eraill wedi eu lleihau megis rhandiroedd, costau gwelyau blodau a phlannu coed.

Budget 2023-24
A draft budget was presented for discussion. This would be discussed further at the next meeting but consideration was given to some budget headings that had been increased such as insurance, members allowance and training, parks and grounds maintenance, whilst others had been reduced such as allotments, flower bed costs and tree planting. Councillors felt that the emergency fund should not be reduced and should remain at £10,000. The Clerk was thanked for her work.
Councillors were encouraged that the increase in the precept was below inflation.
