PENDERFYNWYD i wahardd y wasg a’r cyhoedd yn unol a Atodlen 12A (16) o’r Ddefdd Llywodraeth Leol 1972

It was RESOLVED to exclude the press & public in accordance with Schedule 12A (16) of the Local Government Act 1972.

PENDERFYNWYD ceisio cyngor cyfreithiol pellach gan yr un cyfreithiwr a ymgynghorwyd yn flaenorol ar y mater.

It was RESOLVED to seek further legal advice from the same solicitor previously consulted on the matter.

PENDERFYNWYD cymeradwyo gwariant amcanfyfrifed o hyd at £1,200 i anfon y Rheolwr Asedau a Chyfleusterau ar gwrs hyfforddi goruchwyliwr Gwaith Ffyrdd a Stryd Newydd

Nodwyd y dylid trefnu hyfforddiant yn y dyfodol cyn i gymwysterau ddod i ben.

Nodwyd hefyd y byddai’r gwariant a gymeradwywyd o dan eitemau 147.1 a 147.2 yn arwain at orwariant o dan y bennawd cyllideb 1110 Treuliau Swyddogion (hyfforddiant, teithio ayyb.) o tua £1,000. PENDERFYNWYD cymeradwyo’r gorwariant hwn.

It was RESOLVED to approve estimated expenditure of up to £1,200 to send the Assets & Facilities Manager on the New Roads & Street Works supervisor training course.

It was noted that in future training should be arranged to take place before qualifications expire.

It was further noted that expenditure approved under items 147.1 & 147.2 would together mean an overspend on the budget heading 1110 Officer Expenses (training, travel etc.) of around £1,000. It was RESOLVED to approve this over-expenditure.

PENDERFYNWYD cymeradwyo gwariant o £1,190 i alluogi’r Rheolwr Asedau a Chyfleusterau a’r Cynorthwyydd Amgylcheddol i fynychu cyrsiau arolygu offer chwarae — arolygiadau gweithredol ac arolygiadau rheolaidd, yn y drefn honno.

Nodwyd y dylid trefnu hyfforddiant yn y dyfodol cyn i gymwysterau ddod i ben.

Nodwyd hefyd y byddai’r gwariant a gymeradwywyd o dan eitemau 147.1 a 147.2 yn arwain at orwariant o dan y bennawd cyllideb 1110 Treuliau Swyddogion (hyfforddiant, teithio ayyb.) o tua £1,000. PENDERFYNWYD cymeradwyo’r gorwariant hwn.

It was RESOLVED to approve expenditure of £1,190 for the Assets & Facilities Manager and the Environmental Assistant to attend playground equipment operational inspections and routine inspections courses respectively.

It was noted that in future training should be arranged to take place before qualifications expire.

It was further noted that expenditure approved under items 147.1 & 147.2 would together mean an overspend on the budget heading 1110 Officer Expenses (training, travel etc.) of around £1,000. It was RESOLVED to approve this over-expenditure.

Roedd adroddiad ysgrifenedig wedi’i gylchredeg ymlaen llaw yn amlinellu opsiynau ar gyfer golchi strydoedd yn Aberystwyth. Fodd bynnag, roedd sicrhau contractwr wedi profi’n anodd oherwydd maint a chost y gwaith, diffyg argaeledd lleol, a chyfyngiadau amser i osgoi tarfu.

PENDERFYNWYD dyrannu cyllid ar gyfer golchi strydoedd yn y gyllideb ddrafft ar gyfer 2026–27 a bwrw ymlaen â chynnal ymarfer tendro yn y Flwyddyn Newydd, gyda’r nod o gynnig contract aml-flwyddyn a fyddai’n galluogi rhaglen waith strwythuredig gyda darparwr ymrwymedig.

Cynhaliwyd treial o olchi mannau penodol ar rai strydoedd yn Aberystwyth yn gynharach yn yr Haf. Derbyniwyd hyn yn dda, gyda sylwadau cadarnhaol gan y cyhoedd am ymddangosiad gwell y dref. Yn unol â hynny, PENDERFYNWYD ymestyn y gwaith hwn i gynnwys golchi mannau penodol ar Y Stryd Fawr a Ffordd y Môr.

Trafododd y Cyngor gynllunio ar gyfer y dyfodol, a oedd yn cynnwys:

·         Byddai busnesau’n cael eu cysylltu i nodi unrhyw drefniadau presennol, ac efallai y byddai’r amserlen golchi yn cael ei gynyddu y tu hwnt i ddwywaith y flwyddyn, gyda glanhau achlysurol yn ôl yr angen.

·         Byddai cyfarfod Balchder Bro yn cael ei drefnu i archwilio camau nesaf ac i wella ymgysylltiad â’r cyhoedd, gan gynnwys rhannu manylion y gwaith a’r costau.

A written report had been circulated prior outlining options for power washing streets in Aberystwyth. However, securing a contractor had proven difficult due to the scale and cost of the work, limited local availability, and timing constraints to avoid disruption.

It was RESOLVED to allocate funding for street washing in the 2026–27 draft budget and proceed with a tender exercise in the new year, to tender for a multi-year contract that would enable a structured programme of works with a committed provider.

A trial of spot washing had been carried out on selected streets in Aberystwyth earlier in the Summer. This had been well received, with positive feedback from the public on the improved appearance of the town. Accordingly, it was RESOLVED to extend this work to undertake additional spot washing on Y Stryd Fawr and Ffordd y Môr.

The Council discussed future planning which included:

·         Businesses would be contacted to identify any existing arrangements, and the washing schedule may be increased beyond twice a year, with ad-hoc cleaning as needed.

·         A Civic Pride meeting would be arranged to explore next steps and improve public engagement, including sharing details of the work and its costs.

Ymunodd y Cyng. Bryony Davies â’r cyfarfod.

Yn dilyn penderfyniad y Pwyllgor Rheolaeth Cyffredinol i gael costau ar gyfer addurniadau polyn lamp ar Rhodfa’r Gogledd, Heol y Bont, Y Porth Bach, Trefechan a Phenparcau, cafwyd cost amcangyfrifedig gan ddeiliad contract goleuadau Nadolig presennol y Cyngor o tua £800 fesul polyn lamp.

Eglurwyd bod y gost hon mor uchel, gan ei bod yn cynnwys gosod cysylltiad trydanol newydd ar y polyn lamp, oherwydd bod y rhan fwyaf o’r colofnau yn yr ardaloedd hyn wedi cael eu disodli yn ystod y blynyddoedd diwethaf ac felly nad oedd bellach ganddynt unrhyw socedi trydan.

Byddai angen caniatâd gan Asiantaeth Cefnffyrdd Gogledd a Chanolbarth Cymru (ACGCC) hefyd i wneud gwaith ar bolion lampau yn yr ardaloedd hyn (ar wahân i’r Porth Bach), a oedd wedi’i ofyn am ganiatâd ond heb ei dderbyn eto.

PENDERFYNWYD cymeradwyo gwariant o hyd at £5,000 i brynu stoc newydd o oleuadau croesfan rhewlif, mewn lliw gwyn cynnes, i gymryd lle’r stoc bresennol. Roedd hyn yn cynnwys croesfannau ychwanegol ar Y Porth Bach, Heol y Wig a’r Stryd Newydd, fel y penderfynwyd yn 2024.

PENDERFYNWYD rhoi’r stoc bresennol o oleuadau croesfan rhewlif i grwpiau cymunedol ym Mhenparcau, gan gynnwys Fforwm Cymunedol Penparcau, Neuadd Goffa, Eglwys y Santes Anne, Clwb Pêl-droed Penparcau ac Ysgol Llwyn yr Eos.

PENDERFYNWYD ymhellach adleoli’r goeden Nadolig fetel o Faes y Frenhines i Benparcau, ar y lawnt y tu allan i Neuadd Goffa. Gofynnwyd i swyddogion archwilio lleoliad newydd ar gyfer y goeden Nadolig go iawn a brynir fel arfer ar gyfer Penparcau, ochr yn ochr ag opsiynau ar gyfer coeden lai (a gedwir mewn pot) yng Ngardd Goffa Rhoddwyr Organau.

Roedd angen ystyriaeth bellach o hyd i’r potensial ar gyfer addurniadau ychwanegol ar Stryd y Dollborth, yn unol â phenderfyniad y Cyngor ar 17 Mawrth 2025. I’w ystyried gan y Pwyllgor Rheolaeth Cyffredinol.

Cllr. Bryony Davies joined the meeting.

Following the General Management Committee’s resolution to obtain costings for lamppost decorations on Rhodfa’r Gogledd, Heol y Bont, Y Porth Bach, Trefechan & Penparcau, an estimated cost had been obtained from the Council’s existing Christmas lights contract-holder of around £800 per lamppost.

It was explained that this cost was so high, as it included the installation of a new electrical connection on the lamppost, due to the majority of columns in these areas having been replaced in recent years and no longer having any electrical outlets.

Permission for work to lampposts in these areas (apart from Y Porth Bach) would also require permission from the North and Mid Wales Trunk Road Agency (NMWTRA), which had been requested but not yet received.

It was RESOLVED to approve expenditure of up to £5,000 to purchase a new stock of icicle crossing lights, in warm white colour, to replace the existing stock. This included additional crossings on Y Porth Bach, Heol y Wig and Y Stryd Newydd, as was resolved in 2024.

It was RESOLVED to donate the current stock of icicle crossing lights to community groups in Penparcau, including Penparcau Community Forum, Neuadd Goffa, St Anne’s Church, Penparcau Football Club and Ysgol Llwyn yr Eos.

It was further RESOLVED to relocate the metal Christmas tree from Maes y Frenhines to Penparcau, on the green outside Neuadd Goffa. Officers were asked to explore a new location for the real Christmas tree that was usually purchased for Penparcau, alongside options for a smaller (pot held) tree at the Organ Donor Memorial Garden.

Further consideration was still needed into the potential for additional decorations on Stryd y Dollborth, as per the Council’s resolution on 17 March 2025. To be considered by General Management Committee.

Agenda

Nodwyd bod un o Gynorthwywyr Amgylcheddol y Cyngor yn cynnal gwaith glanhau strydoedd yn Mhenparcau bob dydd Mercher. Cytunwyd y dylid rhoi cyhoeddusrwydd ehangach am hyn, ac awgrymwyd y dylid cynnwys y wybodaeth hon mewn unrhyw gylchlythyr cymunedol.

It was noted that the one of Council’s Environmental Assistant, currently undertook street cleaning in Penparcau every Wednesday. It was agreed that this should be more widely publicised, and it was suggested that this information be included in any community newsletter.

Gadawodd y Cyng. Lucy Huws y cyfarfod.

Amlinellwyd cynnig i brynu blodau ychwanegol ar gyfer eu plannu mewn basgedi rhwystr dros y gaeaf, er mwyn atal eu bod yn wag yn ystod y misoedd oer. PENDERFYNWYD cymeradwyo gwariant o £1,598 i blannu’r 68 basgedi gyda Fiola, Eiddew a Hebe dros y gaeaf.

Awgrymwyd y dylai plannu gaeafol gynnwys mwy o blanhigion amryddynnol bytholwyrdd i gynnal diddordeb gweledol drwy gydol y misoedd oer, ac y dylid amrywio’r basgedi i sicrhau blodau parhaus, yn hytrach na phob planhigyn yn blodeuo ar yr un pryd.

Cllr. Lucy Huws left the meeting.

A proposal was outlined to purchase additional flowers for planting in barrier baskets over the winter, to prevent them being empty over the winter. It was RESOLVED to approve expenditure of £1,598 to plant the 68 baskets with Viola, Ivy & Hebe over the winter.

It was suggested that winter planting should include more evergreen perennials to maintain visual interest throughout the colder months, and that baskets be alternated to ensure continuous blooming, rather than all plants flowering at the same time.

Roedd Aber Instruments wedi cysylltu â’r Cyngor Tref i ofyn am awgrymiadau ar gyfer mentrau buddsoddi cymunedol posibl. Roedd rhestr o syniadau cychwynnol wedi’i chylchredeg ymlaen llaw, gyda gwahoddiad i aelodau gyfrannu awgrymiadau pellach.

Trefnu cyfarfod  Arrange meeting

Cylchredwyd geiriad amgen. Gyda rhai gwelliannau pellach, PENDERFYNWYD cymeradwyo geiriad y plac.

An alternative wording was circulated. With some further amendments it was RESOLVED to approve the plaque wording.   

Datganodd y Cyng. Emlyn Jones fuddiant gan fod anfonebau gan gleientiaid ei fusnes wedi’u cynnwys yn y gwariant.

Datganodd y Cyng. Kerry Ferguson fuddiant gan fod anfonebau gan gleientiaid ei fusnes wedi’u cynnwys yn y gwariant.

Gadawodd y Cyng. Emlyn Jones y gadair, a chadeiriwyd y cyfarfod gan y Cyng. Dylan Lewis-Rowlands am gyfnod yr eitem hon.

PENDERFYNWYD cymeradwyo gwariant mis Awst.

Codwyd y pwyntiau canlynol i’w ystyried ymhellach:

·         Cafwyd cais i adolygu gwariant ar fannau gwyrdd, gyda’r Pwyllgor Cyllid i ystyried ymhellach.

Ymatalodd y Cyng. Emlyn Jones rhag pleidleisio.

Ymatalodd y Cyng. Kerry Ferguson rhag pleidleisio.

Ymatalodd y Cyng. Jeff Smith rhag pleidleisio.

Cllr. Emlyn Jones and declared an interest as invoices from their business clients were included in the expenditure.

Cllr. Kerry Ferguson declared an interest as invoices from their business clients were included in the expenditure.

The following points were raised for further consideration:

·         A request was made to review green space spending, with the Finance Committee to consider further.

Cllr. Emlyn Jones abstained from voting.

Cllr. Kerry Ferguson abstained from voting.

Cllr. Jeff Smith abstained from voting.

Datganodd y Cyng. Alun Williams fuddiant am ei fod yn Gynghorydd Sir.

Cytunodd y Cyng. Dylan Lewis-Rowlands a’r Cyng. Jeff Smith i gydlynu ymateb i’r ymgynghoriad ar ran y Cyngor Tref, i’w ddrafftio a’i gylchredeg erbyn dydd Gwener 22 Medi 2025. Codwyd y pwyntiau canlynol a PHENDERFYNWYD eu cynnwys yn yr ymateb:

·         Roedd ansawdd yr ymgynghoriadau wedi amrywio’n sylweddol; roedd rhai wedi’u rheoli’n dda, tra bod eraill yn gyfyng eu cwmpas ac wedi’u gweithredu’n wael.

·         Roedd angen mwy o ymgysylltu agored a rhagweithiol, gyda’r ymgynghoriad yn dechrau’n gynharach yn y broses o ddatblygu prosiectau arfaethedig.

·         Fel corff a etholwyd yn ddemocrataidd, mae’r Cyngor Tref yn cynrychioli’r gymuned leol a dylid parchu ei lais wrth wneud penderfyniadau.

·         Amlygwyd enghreifftiau o ymgynghori gwael, gan gynnwys yr ymgynghoriad ar Orchymyn Rheoleiddio Traffig (TRO), prosiect datblygu’r Promenâd Deheuol, a’r ymgynghoriad ar y dull pleidleisio a ddefnyddir mewn etholiadau’r Cyngor Sir. Ystyriwyd hefyd fod yr ymgynghoriad presennol ar y polisi ymgysylltu’n rhy gyfyng ei gwmpas.

·         Er bod y polisi ymgysylltu ei hun wedi’i ysgrifennu’n dda, roedd ei weithredu’n aml yn teimlo’n symbolaidd yn unig. Cydnabu’r Cyngor yr heriau sy’n gysylltiedig ag ymgysylltu â’r cyhoedd, ond pwysleisiodd yr angen i feithrin mwy o ymddiriedaeth rhwng y Cyngor Sir a rhanddeiliaid lleol.

Cllr. Alun Williams declared an interest due to being a County Councillor.

Cllr. Dylan Lewis-Rowlands and Cllr. Jeff Smith agreed to coordinate a response to the consultation on behalf of the Town Council, to be drafted and circulated by Friday 22 September 2025. The following points were raised and it was RESOLVED to include them in the response:

·         The quality of consultations had varied significantly; some were well-managed, while others were narrow in scope and poorly executed.

·         There was a need for more open and proactive engagement, with consultation beginning earlier in the process of proposed projects.

·         As a democratically elected body, the Town Council represents the local community and its voice should be respected in decision-making.

·         Examples of poor consultation were highlighted, including the Traffic Regulation Order (TRO) consultation and South Promenade development project, , and the consultation on the voting method used in County Council elections. The current engagement policy consultation was also considered too limited in scope.

·         While the engagement policy itself was well-written, its implementation often felt tokenistic. The Council acknowledged the challenges involved in public engagement, but emphasised the need for greater trust-building between the County Council and local stakeholders.

.

Cytunodd y Cynghorwyr Dylan Lewis-Rowlands a Jeff Smith i ddrafftio ymateb i’r ymgynghoriad ar ran y Cyngor Tref. Codwyd y pwyntiau canlynol a PENDERFYNWYD eu cynnwys yn yr ymateb:

·         Roedd Aberystwyth dan anfantais oherwydd ei lleoliad ar ymyl ffin bwrdd iechyd Hywel Dda, gan fod Ysbyty Cyffredinol Bronglais yn gwasanaethu cleifion o dair bwrdd iechyd yn ddaearyddol. Awgrymwyd y dylai Llywodraeth Cymru ddarparu goruchwyliaeth strategol i sicrhau darpariaeth deg o wasanaethau ar draws y rhanbarthau.

·         Cefnogodd y Cyngor safbwynt Amddiffyn Gwasanaethau Bronglais, er nodwyd y dylai’r ymateb ymdrin â’r ymgynghoriad ehangach, gyda ffocws ychwanegol yn cael ei roi ar y gostyngiad arfaethedig mewn gwasanaethau strôc.

Cllr. Dylan Lewis-Rowlands and Cllr. Jeff Smith agreed to draft a response to the consultation on behalf of the Town Council. The following points were raised and it was RESOLVED to include them in the response:

·         Aberystwyth was disadvantaged by its location on the edge of the Hywel Dda health board boundary, as Bronglais General Hospital actually served patients from across three health boards geographically. It was suggested that the Welsh Government should provide strategic oversight to ensure equitable service provision across regions.

The Council supported the position of Protect Bronglais Services, though it was noted that the response should address the wider consultation, with extra focus given to the proposed reduction in stroke services.
