Cyng. Shelley Childs:

·         Roedd yn annhebygol y byddai taliadau am barcio ar y promenâd yn cael eu cyflwyno tan fis Ionawr 2026, oherwydd oedi wrth gyflenwi a gosod peiriannau talu.

·         Roedd yr ymgynghorwyr wedi gohirio’r ymgynghoriad cyhoeddus ar bont droed arfaethedig Plascrug, ac roedd yn debyg y byddai’n dechrau ym mis Tachwedd.

·         Dangosodd adroddiad perfformiad diweddar welliant o 6% ar gasglu gwastraff ar yr un diwrnod, gan gynyddu i 94%. Roedd disgwyl i Gyngor Sir Ceredigion gael ei restru ymhlith y 4 awdurdod gorau ar gyfer ailgylchu yng Nghymru.

·         Nodwyd y byddai’n bwysig monitro gwastraff dros y 3-4 wythnos nesaf, oherwydd dychweliad myfyrwyr prifysgol. Nodwyd bod ystadegau tipio anghyfreithlon misol yn parhau’n debyg i flynyddoedd blaenorol, gyda 12 adroddiad swyddogol ym mis Awst; er mai dim ond tipio anghyfreithlon ar dir y cyngor oedd y ffigurau hyn, ac nid oeddent yn ystyried tipio anghyfreithlon ar dir preifat.

·         Gofynnwyd am ddiweddariad ar osod TCC yn Tycam. Clerc i ddilyn i fyny a rhoi diweddariad.

·         Roedd trefniadau ar gyfer Aber Cyclefest 2026 wedi dechrau, a byddai’r Cyng. Shelley Childs yn cyfarfod â staff digwyddiadau’r Cyngor Tref i drafod ymhellach.

·         Gofynnwyd am ddiweddariad ar gynnydd gosod y pontydd troed newydd yng nghastell Aberystwyth; roedd yn ymddangos bod y cynnydd wedi dod i ben.

·         Nodwyd nad oedd y system o ddefnyddio sticeri oren ar wastraff nad oedd wedi’i gyflwyno’n briodol yn gweithio, oherwydd nad oedd y casgliad o’r rhain trwy lwybr casglu ar wahân yn digwydd.

Diolchwyd i’r Cyng. Shelley Childs am ei amser ac am roi diweddariad trylwyr.

Cllr. Shelley Childs:

·         Charges for parking on the promenade were likely not to be introduced until January 2026, due to delays in delivery and installation of payment machines.

·         Public consultation on the proposed Plascrug footbridge had been delayed by the consultants, and would likely begin in November.

·         A recent performance report showed a 6% improvement on same day waste collection, increasing to 94%. Ceredigion County Council was expected to be ranked in the top 4 authorities for recycling in Wales.

·         It was noted that it would be important to monitor waste over the nest 3-4 weeks, due to the return of university students. It was noted that monthly fly tipping statistics remained similar to previous years, with 12 official reports in August; although, these figures only related to fly tipping on council land, and took no account of fly tipping on private land.

·         An update was requested on installing CCTV in Tycam. Clerk to follow up and provide update.

·         Arrangements for Aber Cyclefest 2026 had begun, and Cllr. Shelley Childs would meet with the Town Council’s events staff to discuss further.

·         An update was requested on progress of installing the new footbridges at Aberystwyth castle; progress seemed to have halted.

·         It was noted that the system of using orange stickers on waste that had not been properly presented did not work, due to the collection of these by a separate collection route not taking place.

Cllr. Shelley Childs was thanked for his time and providing a thorough update.

Diweddariad

Update

Awgrymwyd y lleoliadau amgen canlynol:

·         Gardd flaen Capel Ebeneser.

·         Tir gyferbyn â Gardd Goffa Rhoddwyr Organau, wrth gyffordd Maes Maelor / Maes Heli / Heol y Wern

PENDERFYNWYD y byddai’r lleoliadau hyn yn flaenoriaethau, a byddai staff yn ymchwilio i’w haddasrwydd ar gyfer eu gosod, gan gynnwys lle a chysylltiadau trydan.

PENDERFYNWYD ymhellach, os nad oedd y naill leoliad na’r llall yn addas, y dylid codi’r goeden ym Maes y Frenhines.

Derbyniwyd cyngor gan Banel Safoni Enwau Lleoedd Comisiynydd yr Iaith Gymraeg. Y cyngor a dderbyniwyd oedd nad oedd tystiolaeth hanesyddol o enw Cymraeg ar gyfer Southgate, ond pe bai un i gael ei fabwysiadu, Porth-y-de (fel y’i hysgrifennwyd, gyda chysylltnodau) fyddai’r ffurf briodol yn unol â chanllawiau’r Comisiynydd.

PENDERFYNWYD mai Porth-y-de fyddai cyfieithiad Cymraeg Southgate yn unol â chyngor y Comisiynydd.

Byddai’r Cyng. Shelley Childs yn trefnu i swyddogion o’r adran Briffyrdd gyfarfod â’r Cyngor Tref i drafod y mater ymhellach, gan gynnwys sut y byddai’r arwyddion yn cael eu hariannu.

Advice had been received from the Welsh Language Commissioner’s Place Names Standardisation Panel. The advice received was that there was no historic evidence of a Welsh name for Southgate, but if one was to be adopted Porth-y-de (as written, with hyphens) would be the appropriate form in accordance with the Commissioner’s guidance.

It was RESOLVED that the Welsh translation of Southgate

was Porth-y-de as per the Commissioner’s advice.

Cllr. Shelley Childs would arrange for officers from the Highways department to meet with the Town Council to discuss the matter further, including how the signs would be funded.

Roedd dyfynbris ar gyfer cynnal asesiad o’r coed yng Nghoedlan Plascrug wedi’i ddosbarthu ymlaen llaw.

Bwriad y gwaith hwn oedd cynhyrchu adroddiad yn amlinellu’r gwaith tebygol y byddai ei angen ar y coed dros gyfnod o dair blynedd. Amcangyfrifwyd bod tua 120 o goed yng Nghoedlan Plascrug.

Ceisiwyd sawl dyfynbris, ond dim ond un a dderbyniwyd. PENDERFYNWYD cymeradwyo gwariant o hyd at £2,080 i fwrw ymlaen â’r gwaith hwn.

A quotation for undertaking an assessment of the trees in Plascrug Avenue had been circulated prior.

This work was to generate a report outlining the likely works needed to the trees over a three year period. There was estimated around 120 trees in Plascrug Avenue.

Multiple quotations had been sought, but only the one had been received. It was RESOLVED to approve expenditure of up to £2,080 to proceed with this work.

Roedd ansawdd yr ardd blodau gwyllt wedi cael ei godi sawl gwaith, gan nodi ei bod yn anneniadol oherwydd ei bod wedi’i dominyddu gan Flodau’r Llygad y Bach.

Cyngor gwreiddiol gan arbenigwr lleol oedd haenu’r pridd â serameg wedi’i falu, er nad oedd y swyddogion yn siŵr y byddai hyn yn effeithiol.

PENDERFYNWYD cael cyngor pellach gan yr arbenigwr lleol a oedd wedi cynghori’n wreiddiol cyn bwrw ymlaen ag unrhyw newidiadau.

The quality of the wildflower garden had been raised on numerous occasions, noting that it was unattractive due to being dominated by Oxeye Daisies.

Designs for alternative options of re-styling the area as a formal garden had been circulated, with one design based on Maes Gwenfrewi and another based on Maes y Frenhines.

Original advice from a local expert had been to layer the soil with crushed ceramic, although officer were uncertain that this would be effective.

A draft Annual Report had been circulated prior.

It was RESOLVED to approve the content of the Annual Report, and further RESOLVED to delegate final approval of its layout & design to the Clerk, in consultation with the Mayor, Deputy Mayor and Cllr. Kerry Ferguson.

Cafwyd costau gan nifer o gyflenwyr, wedi’u lleoli yng Nghymru a Lloegr. PENDERFYNWYD bwrw ymlaen â’r mwyaf economaidd, a chymeradwyo gwariant o £1,708 i brynu sêff gan Simply Safes.

Costs had been obtained from multiple suppliers, based in Wales and England. It was RESOLVED to proceed with the most economical, and approve expenditure of £1,708 to purchase a safe from Simply Safes.

Cynhaliwyd cyfarfod gydag Aelod Cabinet a’r Swyddog Arweiniol Corfforaethol Cyngor Sir Ceredigion oedd â chyfrifoldeb am doiledau cyhoeddus.

Cadarnhawyd nad oedd trosglwyddo perchnogaeth rhydd-ddaliad bellach yn opsiwn. Y ffordd fwyaf tebygol ymlaen fyddai prydles ar gyfer yr adeiladau, a Chytundeb Lefel Gwasanaeth neu dendr preifat ar gyfer darparu’r gwasanaeth.

Byddai angen i’r Pwyllgorau Rheolaeth Cyffredinol a Chyllid ystyried y gofyniad gwasanaeth, er mwyn gosod gofyniad ar gyfer y lefel gwasanaeth.

Byddai cyfarfod pellach gyda’r Aelod Cabinet a’r Swyddog Arweiniol Corfforaethol yn cael ei gynnal i ystyried consesiynau posibl eraill yn gyfnewid am i’r Cyngor Tref gymryd cyfrifoldeb am doiledau cyhoeddus.

A meeting had been held with the Ceredigion County Council’s Cabinet Member and Corporate Lead Officer with responsibility for public toilets.

It was confirmed that a freehold transfer of ownership was no longer an option. The most likely way forward would be a lease for the buildings, and a Service Level Agreement or private tender for the service provision.

The service requirement would need to be considered by the General Management and Finance Committees, to set a requirement for the service level.

A further meeting with the Cabinet Member and Corporate Lead Officer would be held to consider other possible concessions in exchange for the Town Council taking responsibility for public toilets.
