Crynodeb Gweithredol Mae Cyfoeth Naturiol Cymru (CNC) wedi asesu opsiynau i leihau’r perygl o lifogydd i dref a chymuned Rhydaman, Sir Gâr, o’r Afonydd Llwchwr, Lash a Marlas yn dilyn yr effeithiau a ddisgwylir o ganlyniad i newid yn yr hinsawdd. Mae’n bosib y bydd ardaloedd sylweddol o Rhydaman yn ddioddef o lifogydd ac yn y gorffennol agos mae rhannau o’r dref wedi dioddef llifogydd, gyda’r llifogydd diwethaf yn 2009. Does dim amddiffynfeydd rhag llifogydd yn y dref ar hyd yr afonydd yma. Mae llifogydd wedi bod mewn ardal(oedd) o Rhydaman ar 4 achlysur ers 1978: Rhagfyr 26 1979 – llifogydd yn Heol yr Orsaf o ganlyniad i’r Afon Llwchwr dorri ei glannau. Llifogydd ar rheilffordd Calon Cymru yn orsaf Tir y Dail. Rhan o Heol Dyffrun o dan ddwr ac wedi ei gau am gyfnod. Llawer o dai hefyd o dan ddwr. 22 Hydref 1998 – digwyddodd llifogydd ar gampws Coleg Sir Gâr ar Tir y Dail, llifogydd hefyd yn effeitio ar chwech o dai. 18 Mai 2002 – yr Afon Marlas yn achosi llifogydd mewn tri ty yn Heol Aberlash 17 Gorffennaf 2009 – yr Afon Llwchwr yn torri ei glannau ac yn achosi llifogydd ar Heol Haydn a Tir y Dail. Yr A483 wedi cau ar Pont y Clerc a Pen y Banc. Mae modelu llifogydd wedi dangos fod ar hyn o bryd, mae 211 eiddo preswyl yn y dref mewn perygl o lifogydd os fydd llifogydd eithafol. Oherwydd effeithiau newid hinsawdd mae disgwyl i’r nifer o eiddo a gaiff ei effeithio i gynyddu i 406, yn ogystal ac effiethio ar fusnesau lleol, sefydliadau addysg a chysulltiadau teithio hanfodol drwy’r dre. Bydd y cynllun yn amddiffyn 195 eiddo preswyl a 33 eiddo eraill mewn llifogydd sydd a thebygolrwydd 1% o ddigwydd mewn blwyddyn, mae hyn yn cynyddu i 349 eiddo preswyl a 35 eiddo eraill gyda effeithiau newid hinsawdd. Mae’r gwelliannau yn cynnwys cyfres o waliau atal llifogydd ac argloddiau ar hyd yr Afon Llwchwr, yn ymestyn o Goleg Sir Gâr yn y de i Parc Henry Lane yn y gogledd, yn ogystal a symud gwaddod o rhan fach o sianel yr afon dan ac yn agos at bont ffordd yr A483.

PURPOSE To pave the way for more regular referrals to nature-based activities, in accessible woodlands close to areas of need. A VISION OF THE FUTURE Nature based health care embedded within health system Social prescribing to outdoor activity available to all Development of woodland sites to improve green infrastructure and improve access – including a ‘woodland hub’ model Specified training pathways and qualifications to improve and support provision of services, with qualified leaders and improved prospects for those working in the social forestry sector. Funding through health board for organisations to deliver services long term. Ongoing community engagement providing preventative and therapeutic benefits while caring for the natural environment. Increasing resilience in communities. Page 1 of 70 INITIAL GOALS OF THIS PILOT PROJECT Consultation : Establishing and/or strengthening links with green health practitioners, health sector referral organizations, landowners, community groups and relevant public bodies to promote green prescribing. Identifying strengths and weaknesses, barriers and recommendations from professionals in health and third sector so that green prescribing can become widely available. Mapping of greenspace against community needs to identify key woodlands for green infrastructure (GI) funding in each of the three Hywel Dda counties (Ceredigion, Carmarthenshire, Pembrokeshire.) These will be woodlands that are or could be used for social forestry and wellbeing activities, and have the potential to be improved for these purposes should further funding be available.

  • CARMARTHENSHIRE in Identifying Woodlands Under This Scoping Study
    CARMARTHENSHIRE In identifying woodlands under this scoping study for Carmarthenshire GI improvements, it is all too easy to fall foul of the town-centric trend for service provision given significant urban deprivation. Llanelli with a population of 39,000 would be an easy starting point. But social, economic and personal needs are often the biggest barrier to engagement with nature, rather than distance from accessible green space. For example, some people whose homes can literally back onto wonderful green spaces such as the Brecon beacons, may not benefit from green space however near until they engage with an activity or social network that literally opens their eyes to their local treasures. Discussions with Cwmaman community development officer working with Coed Lleol on a GI project, and members of the LA, helped focus the issues. Every community will have access to different levels and categories of support and will not necessarily be easy to compare, but if there is a critical mass of support and uptake, then developing the nearby green spaces can be transformational in many ways. For many communities struggling to find a way into the challenging worlds of youth antisocial behaviour/drug problems for example, a green space can be the missing ‘service’ that finally enables someone to be turned around. We can start a scoping project such as this – envisaging finding an appropriate woodland that can be improved for all-ability access in each county – but which woodlands get onto the final list of recommendations depends as much on the potential for a supportive surrounding CLUSTER MODEL as the actual woodland criteria we developed at the start of the pilot and included in section 3.

  • Amman Valley
    Amman Valley Why Walk? This popular route from Brynamman to Ammanford closely follows the River Amman. The route is used by walkers and cyclists, passing through woodlands, leafy lanes and parkland. The villages in the Amman Valley owe their expansion to the industrial revolution of the 19th century. Few obvious signs of this industrial age are to be found now, the spoil heaps and industrial sites have been re-landscaped and returned to Old Iron Works woodland and farmland. There are shops, pubs and cafes in the villages along the way. Each village has heritage information panels highlighting the history and wildlife in each area How Long? This linear route is just under 9km long (5½ miles) and descends 154m (505 ft) with only 23m (75 ft) of ascent. How Hard? Black Mountain The route is surfaced throughout and is ideal for family groups, or people with mobility problems. The route can be easily accessed from each village along the way and therefore split into several sections to be completed in stages. Starting point - The start of the walk is off Station Rd, at the cycleway. Turn right off station road and pass the rugby ground to the tarmacked path alongside the river Amman.

  • Cwmaman Wellbeing Report 2019-20 Final
    Introduction The purpose of this report is to communicate to our community the work and activities we have undertaken over the past 3 years in response the whole-community consultation undertaken in 2017 and all subsequent consultations up to May 2020. We hope this communication will be 2-way and look forward to hearing residents thoughts and ideas inspired by the content herein. Within this report the Council has sought to provide a full and clear update on the progress made over this time and to recognise the key actions, people and priorities that have formed our provision of service to the community we represent. In addition, this report acts as Cwmaman Town Council’s Annual Wellbeing Report in line with our duties under the Wellbeing of Future Generations Act (Wales) 2015. We have identified this legislation as a supportive framework within which to provide, and improve upon, the services, opportunities and advocacy available for all residents of Cwmaman. It has allowed us to see clear areas for improvement, align these to the voices of our community members and to develop our community in ways which both meet current needs and ensure that the needs and lives of future generations are protected. Although this report is a reflection upon the past 3 years, it should also be seen as a foundation for the next year of work by Cwmaman Town Council. We operate an ongoing consultation and engagement methodology and will always seek new views, ideas and needs from all within our electorate. The beginning of 2020 has been a very difficult time for many within our community and globally with the Covid 19 pandemic affecting so many lives both directly and indirectly.
