Excellent water quality rating for Cefn Sidan/Ansawdd y dŵr yng Nghefn Sidan yn rhagorol

Excellent water quality rating for Cefn Sidan

ALTHOUGH only the hardiest of souls would be brave enough to take a dip there at the moment, they’d be pleased to hear that water quality at Pembrey’s Cefn Sidan beach has been classed as excellent once again.

Natural Resources Wales has published its 2017 designated bathing water classifications, listing Cefn Sidan – managed by Carmarthenshire County Council – as excellent.
It’s more good news for the beach, which was granted the coveted Blue Flag by Keep Wales Tidy earlier this year.

Nearby Pendine Sands, managed by Pendine Community Council, has also been classed as excellent.
Cllr Philip Hughes, Carmarthenshire County Council’s executive board member for public protection, said: “Whilst we are always confident of the water quality at our designated bathing beaches, it is always great to see them officially classed as excellent.”

Together, Cefn Sidan and Pendine are Carmarthenshire’s two designated bathing beaches and help attract thousands of tourists to the area every year.

Cllr Peter Hughes Griffiths, executive board member for culture, sport and tourism, said it was wonderful news.

“Those who live in Carmarthenshire are lucky to have these beaches on their doorstep all year round, but in terms of tourism potential they are a huge attraction,” he said.

Ansawdd y dŵr yng Nghefn Sidan yn rhagorol

ER mai’r bobl ddewraf yn unig fyddai’n fodlon mentro i’r môr ar hyn o bryd, mae’n siŵr y bydden nhw’n falch o glywed bod ansawdd y dŵr ar draeth Cefn Sidan ym Mhen-bre wedi cyrraedd safon rhagorol unwaith eto.

Mae Cyfoeth Naturiol Cymru wedi cyhoeddi rhestr o draethau dŵr ymdrochi dynodedig ar gyfer 2017, gan ddynodi Cefn Sidan, sy’n cael ei reoli gan Gyngor Sir Caerfyrddin, yn rhagorol.

Mae’n rhagor o newyddion gwych i’r traeth, a enillodd wobr y Faner Las gan Cadwch Gymru’n Daclus yn gynharach yn y flwyddyn.

Mae Traeth Pentywyn, sy’n cael ei reoli gan Gyngor Cymuned Pentywyn, hefyd wedi cael ei ddynodi’n rhagorol.

Dywedodd y Cynghorydd Philip Hughes, yr Aelod o Fwrdd Gweithredol Cyngor Sir Caerfyrddin dros Ddiogelu’r Cyhoedd: “Er ein bod bob amser yn hyderus am ansawdd dŵr ein traethau dŵr ymdrochi dynodedig, mae’n wych eu gweld nhw’n cael eu dynodi’n rhai rhagorol yn swyddogol.”
Cefn Sidan a Phentywyn yw traethau dŵr ymdrochi dynodedig Sir Gaerfyrddin ac maen nhw’n helpu i ddenu miloedd o dwristiaid i’r ardal bob blwyddyn.

Dywedodd y Cynghorydd Peter Hughes Griffiths, yr Aelod o’r Bwrdd Gweithredol dros Ddiwylliant, Chwaraeon a Thwristiaeth, ei fod yn newyddion gwych.

“Mae pawb sy’n byw yn Sir Gaerfyrddin yn lwcus i gael y traethau hyn ar eu trothwy drwy gydol y flwyddyn, ond maen nhw’n atyniad anferthol o safbwynt potensial twristiaeth,” meddai.
