Cyflwyniad gan Aldi

Cyflwynodd Tom Phipps, Rob Jones a Dan Templeton wybodaeth am ddatblygiad y siop arfaethedig yng Nghoedlan y Parc.

Roedd materion a godwyd gan gynghorwyr yn cynnwys:

• Arwyddion dwyieithog drwy’r siop ac nid y prif arwyddion yn unig: cynhyrchir arwyddion yn ganolog ond byddent yn edrych ar yr hyn y gellid ei wneud
• Pecynnu di-blastig: Mae pob brand Aldi ei hun i fod yn rhydd o blastig na ellir ei ail-gylchu erbyn 2020. Bydd pob plastig yn cael ei gyrchu ymaith ar deithiau loriau sy'n dychwelyd. Hefyd yn gweithio mewn partneriaeth â banciau bwyd.
• Biniau ar gyfer deunydd pecynnu ar y safle i gwsmeriaid: edrychir ar hyn.
• Lled y llwybrau siopa ar gyfer pobl anabl: byddai'r warws ar y llawr cyntaf yn caniatáu darparu mwy o le ar lawr y siop.
• Perygl llifogydd i eiddo cyfagos: codwyd y siop tua metr ond byddai'r maes parcio yn gweithredu fel cronfa llifogydd i liniaru'r effaith mewn mannau eraill. Hefyd, mae mesurau draenio yn cydymffurfio â gofynion newydd.
• Plannu coed: roedd hyn eisoes wedi'i godi ac roedd yn cael ei ystyried
• Plannu cyfeillgar i wenyn: edrychir ar hyn. Mae safleoedd Aldi yn cael eu cynnal i safon uchel
• Dyddiad agor Tachwedd 2019 yn realistig? Fel rheol, bydd adeiladu siop newydd yn cymryd 24 wythnos ond gan fod siop Aberystwyth yn adeilad pwrpasol, gallai fod oedi nad oes neb wedi ei ragweld.

Aldi Presentation

Tom Phipps; Rob Jones and Dan Templeton presented information on the proposed store development in Park Avenue.

Matters raised by councillors included:

• Bilingual signage throughout and not just the main signs: signage was produced centrally but they would look at what could be done
• Plastic-free packaging: All Aldi own brand to be free of unrecyclable plastic by 2020. All plastics taken away on delivery lorry return journeys.  Also partnership working with food banks.

• Packaging bins on site for customers: Bins for packaging would be looked at.
• Aisle width for disabled people: the first-floor warehouse would allow for the provision of more space on the shop floor.
• Flood risk to neighbouring properties: the store was raised by approximately a metre but the car park would act as a flood reservoir to mitigate the effect elsewhere. Also, drainage measures conform to new requirements.
• Tree planting: this had already been raised and was being looked at
• Bee friendly planting: this would be looked at. Aldi sites are maintained to a high standard
• Opening date of November 2019 realistic? Store builds normally take 24 weeks but as the Aberystwyth store was a bespoke building there could be unforeseen delays.

81

Adroddiad ar Weithgareddau’r Maer:

Cyflwynwyd adroddiad ar lafar a oedd yn cynnwys mynychu Achlysur Cysegru Eglwys Merthyron Cymu ym Mhenparcau.

Nid oedd llawer o blwyfolion wedi cael eu gwahodd ac roedd eraill wedi dewis peidio â bod yn bresennol mewn protest. Roedd yr Esgob wedi datgan yn ei bregeth bod Eglwys Santes Gwenfrewi mewn cyflwr peryglus.

Teimlai'r Cyngor fod y Maer wedi cael ei ddefnyddio fel arf a PHENDERFYNWYD anfon llythyr at yr Esgob yn cwestiynnu eto esgeulustod yr Eglwys o adeilad, canol dref, pwysig.

Mayoral Activity Report:   

A verbal report was presented which included attending the Consecration of the Welsh Martyrs Church in Penparcau.

Many parishioners had not been invited and others had chosen not to attend in protest. The Bishop had stated in his sermon that St Winefride’s Church was in a dangerous state.

Council felt that the Mayor had been used as a weapon and RESOLVED to send a letter to the Bishop questioning again the Church’s neglect of an important, town centre, building.

Materion yn Codi

8. 2 Darparwyd dyfynbrisiau rhatach ar gyfer rhai elfennau o'r goleuadau Nadolig gan Aberystwyth ar y Blaen ond oherwydd cyfyngiadau amser, cymhlethdod y gwaith, y diffyg sicrwydd a ddarparwyd o ran iechyd a diogelwch a gallu i gyflawni'r gwaith yn amserol PENDERFYNWYD aros gyda'r contractwr presennol.

Cyng Mark Strong:

• Roedd y darnau o dir i'w hychwanegu at y Warchodfa Natur Leol yn mynd i gael eu hystyried gan y Cabinet.
• Ardal y tu ôl i Neuadd Alexandra - roedd Cyngor Sir Ceredigion yn mynd i dacluso ardal hon

Cyng Alun Williams:

Adfer Rheilffordd Aberystwyth i Gaerfyrddin

Cafodd yr adroddiad ei e-bostio at gynghorwyr a darparwyd copïau o'r Crynodeb Gweithredol yn y cyfarfod. Teimlwyd nad oedd data poblogaeth a buddion economaidd yn gywir yn yr adroddiad (y ddau yn isel) ac o gymharu â phrosiectau adeiladu ffyrdd eraill, roedd adfer y rheilffordd yn cynrychioli gwerth da am arian ac y byddai o fudd mawr i'r Canolbarth.

PENDERFYNWYD ailddatgan cefnogaeth y Cyngor ar gyfer y fenter a threfnu cyfarfod gyda Traws Link Cymru i edrych ar sut i gydweithio.

Aberystwyth to Carmarthen Rail reinstatement

The report had been emailed to councillors and copies of the Executive Summary were provided at the meeting.  It was felt that population data and economic benefits were not accurate in the report (both low) and that compared to other road building projects the reinstatement of the railway represented good value for money and would benefit Mid Wales enormously.

It was RESOLVED to reiterate the Council’s support for the initiative and to organise a meeting with Traws Link Cymru to look at joint working

A 180940: Santander

Mae gan y Cyngor Tref bryderon ynglŷn â cholli'r ffenestri pren gwreiddiol a hoffent gael mwy o fanylion ynglŷn â’r rheswm am ddewis ffenestri pren newydd lle gall y pren fod o ansawdd israddol.

The Town Council has concerns regarding the loss of the original wooden windows and would like more details as to why they are being replaced with new wooden windows where the timber may be of an inferior quality.

5.2

A180999: Y Pier

Mae'r Cyngor yn gercus gefnogol cyn belled â bod unrhyw newidiadau yn cyd-fynd â'r adeilad hanesyddol. Hoffai'r Cyngor ragor o wybodaeth am y newidiadau arfaethedig a hoffai ymweld â'r safle er mwyn sicrhau eglurder.

The Council is cautiously supportive as long as any changes are in keeping with the historic building.  The Council would like more information on the proposed changes and would like to visit the premises to achieve clarity.

5.3

A180962: Tir Carreg Goch, Ffordd Ddewi

Mae gan y Cyngor y pryderon canlynol am y datblygiad hwn:

• Mae angen adeiladu'r annedd newydd yn unol â'r ardal nodweddiadol
• Ymddengys nad oedd y cynlluniau a ddarparwyd gyda’r cais yn gywir. Hoffai’r Cyngor weld y cynlluniau cywir cyn gwneud penderfyniad.
• Ymddengys bod yr eiddo gwreiddiol presennol yn cael ei esgeuluso ac mae'r ‘mullions’ wedi cael eu tynnu. A ellid ddefnyddio 'Gorchymyn Tacluso - Adran 217' i amddiffyn yr hen dŷ?

A180962: Tir Carreg Goch, St David’s Rd

Council has the following concerns about this development:

• The new dwelling needs to be built in keeping with the characterful area
• The plans supplied with the application did not appear to be correct. Council would like to see the correct plans before making a decision
• The existing original property appears to be neglected and the mullions have been removed.  Could a ‘Tidy up Order – Section 217’ be applied to protect the old house?

Gohebiaeth cyn cynllunio: Datblygiad Tai Cymru a’r Gorllewin yn ardal y Tollgate.

Mae gan y Cyngor y pryderon canlynol ynglŷn â'r datblygiad hwn:

• Mae parcio eisoes yn fater o ofid sydd wedi ei gwaethygu yn ddiweddar gydag agor yr eglwys
• Graddfa'r datblygiad mewn ardal fach
• Y lle a ddarperir ar gyfer pob uned
• Yr effaith ar yr iaith Gymraeg gan ei fod yn ddatblygiad sylweddol
• Mynediad trwy ffordd gul
• Diffyg gofod gwyrdd

• The impact on the Welsh language as it is a substantial development
• Access via a narrow road
• Lack of green space

Public footpath to Constitution Hill

Ceredigion Council’s response outlined various options.

It was RECOMMENDED that letters be sent to residents

Santes Gwenfrewi

Er mwyn osgoi esgeulustod pellach, ARGYMHELLWYD anfon llythyr at Gyngor Ceredigion yn darparu'r wybodaeth ganlynol:

• Bydd yr esgob presennol, sydd wedi bod yn wrthwynebus i gynllunio adfer Santes Gwenfrewi o’r cychwyn, yn  ymddeol yn swyddogol 3.6.2019. Bydd yn cymryd rhai misoedd i’r Fatican drefnu olynydd ond gall bydd olynydd yn fwy ffafriol i ystyriaethau newydd.
• Mae grwp cryf o fewn y plwyf a chyfeillion eraill yn dymuno gweld adfer yr adeilad, os nad fel eglwys, fel canolfan gymunedol. Byddent, pe bai raid, yn creu gweithgor i ariannu, sicrhau grantiau ac ymgymryd â gwaith ymarferol. Mae  eglwys Santes Gwenfrewi yn un hanesyddol yng Nghymru, gan mae yma yr addolai Saunders Lewis, Archesgob McGrath, Tad John Fitzgerald ag eraill.
• Mae’r pensaer Gareth Lewis wedi llunio cynllun sydd  wedi ei gymeradwyo yn eang, ac yn cyfuno nodweddion yr adeiladwaith allanol gyda moderneiddio.

St Winefride’s

To avoid further neglect it was RECOMMENDED that a letter be sent to Ceredigion Council providing the following information:

• The present bishop, who has been opposed to planning the restoration of St Winefride’s from the outset, will officially retire 3.6.2019. It will take a few months for the Vatican to organise a successor but a successor may be more amenable towards new considerations.
• A strong group within the parish and other friends wish to see the restoration of the building, if not as a church, as a community centre. They would, if necessary, create a working group to fund, secure grants and carry out practical work. St Winefride’s church is a historic one in Wales, and Saunders Lewis, Archbishop McGrath, Father John Fitzgerald and others worshipped here.
• The architect Gareth Lewis has produced a widely approved plan, and combines the features of the external structure with modernization
