Wrthi'n llwytho
Ymdriniodd y cyfarfod ag un cwestiwn gan y Cynghorydd Bev Baynham i'r Cynghorydd Jackie Charlton, yr Aelod Cabinet dros Bowys Wyrddach. Roedd yn holi am gludiant ysgol i ddisgyblion Powys sy'n mynychu ysgolion uwchradd yn Lloegr. Rhoddodd y Cyngor ymateb gyda ffigurau ar gyfer pob ardal. Nid yw'r cofnod yn nodi unrhyw benderfyniad.

Its priority remains to ensure that eligible learners can access suitable education through transport arrangements that are safe, efficient and financially sustainable, while working constructively with neighbouring local authorities where cross-border provision is required.
Rhaid i gynghorwyr ddweud pan fydd ganddyn nhw gysylltiad personol â rhywbeth sy'n cael ei drafod, fel swydd, eiddo neu aelod o'r teulu. Mae buddiant sy'n rhagfarnu yn ddigon cryf i'r cynghorydd adael yr ystafell fel arfer a pheidio â chymryd rhan.
Caiff datganiadau eu darllen o'r cofnodion unwaith y byddan nhw wedi'u cyhoeddi.
Dyw'r cyngor ddim wedi cofnodi presenoldeb ar gyfer y cyfarfod hwn.
Yn rhestru cynghorwyr presennol y cyngor yn unig. Nid yw aelodau cyfetholedig, swyddogion a chyn-gynghorwyr yn cael eu dangos.
