Roedd y Clerc wedi cysylltu â’r Maer i awdurdodi toriad brys a derbyniwyd llythyr o ddiolch gan y preswylydd. Byddai’r tendr torri gwair yn cynnwys torri’r ardal gyfan yn rheolaidd i ddarparu ardal amwynder i bobl leol.

The Clerk had liaised with the Mayor to authorise an emergency cut and a letter of thanks had been received from the resident. The grass cutting tender would involve cutting the whole area regularly to provide an amenity area for locals.
