Jointly funded by the UK Government’s Shared Prosperity Fund and Carmarthenshire County Council, the Greening Carmarthenshire Team are currently running public consultations on two draft strategies:
Draft Allotment and Community Growing Strategy
Carmarthenshire has long been dubbed the ‘Garden of Wales’. In recent years, interest in local food growing opportunities has increased in popularity. There is a body of evidence supporting the idea that growing your own can have benefits for both people and the planet, whether through improved physical and mental well-being or by limiting the number of food miles on our plates. As inherent components of Green and Blue Infrastructure, Allotments and Community Growing spaces represent important place-based solutions towards promoting active lifestyle choices and preventing health and wellbeing issues amongst our communities.
“We are pleased to introduce the Allotment and Community Growing Strategy for Carmarthenshire. A crucial step towards fostering a greener, healthier, and more sustainable future for our communities. The strategy outlines our collective vision for creating accessible and thriving spaces where people can connect with nature, grow their own food and engage in activities that contribute to their well-being.”
Cllr. Aled Vaughan Owen & Cllr. Carys Jones
Draft Green and Blue Infrastructure Strategy
In alignment with our Public Service Board’s Well-being Plan, the development of this Strategy is designed to embed a Green and Blue Infrastructure approach to spatial planning which is centred on ensuring the provision of public goods for future generations, multifunctionality, and promoting the use of Nature-based Solutions, wherever appropriate. In essence, it is the acknowledgement that our natural and semi-natural resources should be regarded as important ‘infrastructure’ just like built features, and that they will only continue to benefit us if we proactively plan, invest in, and manage them to ensure they are used sustainably.
“As Chair and Vice Chair of the Carmarthenshire Public Services Board, we are pleased to co-present this strategy which focuses on the network of green and blue spaces within Carmarthenshire and reflects our commitment to establishing a strong foundation that enhances the places we live while securing sustainable development for future generations. Carmarthenshire.”
Cllr. Darren Price & Dr Andrew Cornish
Each survey should take no more than 15 minutes to complete and is live until 21 March 2025.

Wedi’i ariannu ar y cyd gan Gronfa Ffyniant Gyffredin Llywodraeth y DU a Chyngor Sir Caerfyrddin, mae Tîm Gwyrddu Sir Gâr ar hyn o bryd yn cynnal ymgynghoriadau cyhoeddus ar ddwy strategaeth ddrafft:
Strategaeth Rhandiroedd a Thyfu Cymunedol Ddrafft
Ers amser maith, mae Sir Gâr wedi cael ei galw’n ‘Gardd Cymru’. Yn ystod y blynyddoedd diwethaf, mae diddordeb mewn cyfleoedd tyfu bwyd lleol wedi cynyddu mewn poblogrwydd. Mae corff o dystiolaeth sy’n cefnogi’r syniad y gall tyfu eich cynnyrch eich hun fod o fudd i bobl a’r blaned, boed hynny drwy wella llesiant corfforol a meddyliol neu drwy gyfyngu ar nifer y milltiroedd bwyd ar ein platiau. Fel cydrannau cynhenid Seilwaith Gwyrdd a Glas, mae Rhandiroedd a Mannau Tyfu Cymunedol yn cynrychioli atebion pwysig sy’n seiliedig ar le tuag at hyrwyddo dewisiadau ffordd o fyw egnïol ac atal problemau iechyd a llesiant ymhlith ein cymunedau.
“Rydym yn falch o gyflwyno’r Strategaeth Rhandiroedd a Thyfu Cymunedol ar gyfer Sir Gaerfyrddin. Cam hanfodol tuag at feithrin dyfodol mwy gwyrdd, iach a chynaliadwy i’n cymunedau. Mae’r strategaeth yn amlinellu ein gweledigaeth ar y cyd ar gyfer creu mannau hygyrch a ffyniannus lle gall pobl gysylltu â natur, tyfu eu bwyd eu hunain a chymryd rhan mewn gweithgareddau sy’n cyfrannu at eu llesiant.”
Cyng. Aled Vaughan Owen & Cyng. Carys Jones
Strategaeth Seilwaith Gwyrdd a Glas Ddrafft
Yn unol â Chynllun Llesiant ein Bwrdd Gwasanaethau Cyhoeddus, mae datblygiad y Strategaeth hon wedi’i chynllunio i ymgorffori dull Seilwaith Gwyrdd a Glas o gynllunio gofodol sy’n canolbwyntio ar sicrhau bod nwyddau cyhoeddus yn cael eu darparu ar gyfer cenedlaethau’r dyfodol, amlswyddogaetholdeb, a hyrwyddo’r defnydd o Atebion Seiliedig ar Natur, lle bynnag y bo’n briodol. Yn y bôn, mae’n cydnabod y dylid ystyried ein hadnoddau naturiol a lled-naturiol yn ‘seilwaith’ pwysig yn union fel nodweddion adeiledig, ac y byddant ond yn parhau i fod o fudd i ni os byddwn yn cynllunio, buddsoddi ynddynt, ac yn eu rheoli yn rhagweithiol i sicrhau eu bod yn cael eu defnyddio’n gynaliadwy.
“Fel Cadeirydd ac Is-Gadeirydd Bwrdd Gwasanaethau Cyhoeddus Sir Gaerfyrddin, mae’n bleser gennym gyflwyno ein strategaeth Seilwaith Gwyrdd a Glas ar gyfer y sir. Mae’r strategaeth hon yn canolbwyntio ar y rhwydwaith o fannau gwyrdd a glas yn Sir Gaerfyrddin ac mae’n adlewyrchu ein hymrwymiad i sefydlu sylfaen gref sy’n gwella’r lleoedd rydym yn byw ynddynt tra’n sicrhau datblygu cynaliadwy ar gyfer cenedlaethau’r dyfodol.”
Cyng. Darren Price & Dr. Andrew Cornish

Helpu pobl hŷn ledled Cymru i sicrhau bod eu lleisiau’n cael eu clywed
Wrth i mi ddatblygu fy Strategaeth a’m Rhaglen Waith, rwy’n awyddus i glywed gan gynifer o bobl hŷn â phosibl, o bob cwr o Gymru, er mwyn helpu i lywio’r camau rwy’n eu cymryd.
Hoffwn gyrraedd cynifer o bobl hŷn â phosibl, er mwyn casglu eu lleisiau a’u profiadau o amrywiaeth eang o gefndiroedd a chymunedau. Rwy’n gobeithio y gallwch helpu drwy rannu holiadur byr (wedi’i atodi) gyda’r bobl hŷn rydych chi’n gweithio gyda nhw neu yn eu cefnogi, a’u hannog i gysylltu â mi i ddweud eu dweud.
Byddem yn gwerthfawrogi unrhyw gymorth y gallwch ei roi.
Er mwyn gwneud hyn yn haws, rydym wedi datblygu pecyn cyfathrebu (sydd hefyd wedi’i atodi) sy’n cynnwys amrywiaeth o adnoddau a fydd gobeithio o gymorth i chi.
Os hoffech i unrhyw gopïau caled o’r holiadur gael eu dosbarthu i bobl hŷn, ac y gellir eu dychwelyd drwy radbost, cysylltwch â’m swyddfa. Mae modd llenwi’r holiadur ar-lein yma hefyd: www.comisiynyddph.cymru/dweudeichdweud
Gall pobl hŷn sy’n dymuno rhannu eu barn a’u syniadau dros y ffôn hefyd gysylltu â’m tîm ar 03442 640 670.
Yn ogystal â chlywed gan bobl hŷn ledled Cymru, rydw i hefyd eisiau clywed gan y sefydliadau a’r rhanddeiliaid sy’n gweithio gyda nhw ac yn eu cefnogi am y mathau o faterion maen nhw’n eu gweld a lle mae angen gweithredu i sicrhau gwelliannau i bobl hŷn.
Felly, llenwch yr holiadur os gallwch chi, i dynnu sylw at unrhyw feysydd allweddol rydych chi’n meddwl y dylwn i ganolbwyntio arnyn nhw fel rhan o fy ngwaith. Mae croeso i chi hefyd ei rannu ag unrhyw gydweithwyr neu gysylltiadau a allai fod yn awyddus i ymateb.
Diolch yn fawr am eich cymorth a’ch cefnogaeth!
Rhian Bowen-Davies,
Comisiynydd Pobl Hŷn Cymru

Help older people across Wales to make their voices heard
As I develop my Strategy and Work Programme, I’m keen to hear from as many older people as possible from across Wales to help shape the action I deliver.
I want to reach out as widely as possible to capture the voices and experiences of older people from a wide range of backgrounds and communities and I hope that you are able to help by sharing a short questionnaire (attached) with the older people you work with or support and encouraging them to get in touch with me to have their say.
Any support you can provide would be greatly appreciated.
To make this easier, we’ve developed a communications pack (also attached) which includes a variety of resources that we hope you find helpful.
If you would like any hard copies of the questionnaire to distribute to older people, which can be returned via freepost, please contact my office. The questionnaire can also be completed online here: www.olderpeople.wales/haveyoursay
Older people who wish to share their views and ideas over the phone can also contact my team on 03442 640 670.
In addition to hearing from older people across Wales, I also want to hear from the organisations and stakeholders that work with and support them about the kinds of issues they are seeing and where action is needed to deliver improvements for older people.
So please do complete the questionnaire if you can, to highlight any key areas you think I should focus on as part of my work. Please also feel free to share with any colleagues or contacts that may wish to respond.
Many thanks for your help and support!

Older People’s Commissioner for Wales
