"Rydyn ni'n cydnabod bod y cynnig ar gyfer cerflun y Cylch Haearn wedi rhannu barn ac yn dilyn cyfarfodydd hynod adeiladol a chynhyrchiol â rhanddeiliaid lleol, rydym wedi penderfynu peidio â bwrw ymlaen â’r dyluniad dan sylw. Byddwn yn defnyddio'r arian oedd wedi'i neilltuo ar gyfer y gwaith celf i gynnal yr uwchgynllun ehangach ar gyfer y blaendraeth, yn unol â barn pobl leol. Bydd hynny'n cynnwys buddsoddi cyfalaf mewn nifer o brosiectau yn yr ardal a chynnal nifer o ddigwyddiadau a gweithgareddau i gynyddu dealltwriaeth o hanes y Castell ac arwyddocâd y blaendraeth. Fel Cyngor Sir y Fflint a Chyngor Tref y Fflint, rydym am roi blaenoriaeth uchel i ddatblygu'r uwchgynllun.”
“We acknowledge that the proposal for the Iron Ring sculpture has been divisive and, following extremely constructive and productive meetings with local stakeholders, have taken the decision not to proceed with the proposed design. Instead, we will use the investment allocated for the artwork to help deliver the wider masterplan for the foreshore, taking in the views of local people. This will include developing a range of capital investments for the area and holding a number of events and activities to increase the understanding of the history of the Castle and the significance of the foreshore.  Alongside Flintshire County Council and Flint Town Council, we see development of the masterplan as a high priority.”
