  • Arriva: cofnodwyd 60 allan o 127 o drenau allan o wasanaeth oherwydd materion fel dail ar y rheiliau. Roedd yn dal i ohebu gydag Arriva – gellid eu gwahodd i’r Pwyllgor Rheoli Cyffredinol o bosib.

 

Gwahoddodd y Cyng Mair Benjamin y cynghorwyr i ddod i gyfarfod mis Ionawr gyda'r pedwar cwmni sy'n gwneud cais am y fasnachfraint.

 

Cyng Ceredig Davies

  • Roedd y Comisiwn Ffiniau yn edrych ar leihau nifer y cynghorau, a byddai'n cyfarfod Cynghorau Tref a Chymuned i edrych ar sut y maent yn adlewyrchu'r cymunedau maent yn eu cynrychioli.
  • Mae'r Cyngor Sir wedi dangos arfer da wrth drafod gyda'r Cyngor Tref ynglŷn â'r banc poteli y Castell. Dylid anfon llythyr o ddiolch. Ar y llaw arall roedd y gysgodfa wedi eu cymryd i ffwrdd o Sgwâr Glyndwr heb rybudd.
  • Roedd Tesco yn siarad â'r datblygwyr ynghylch materion llygredd golau

  • Dylai'r Cyngor fanteisio ar y cyfle i ofyn cwestiynau i'r cwmnïau sy’n cystadlu am fasnachfraint Arriva.

  • Arriva: 60 out of 127 trains were recorded as being out of service due to issues such as leaves on the line. He was still corresponding with Arriva who could perhaps be invited to the General Management Committee. 

 

Cllr Mair Benjamin invited councillors to attend the early January meeting in Welshpool with the four companies applying for the franchise.

 

Cllr Ceredig Davies

  • The Boundary Commission was looking at reducing the number of councils, and would be meeting Town and Community Councils to look at how they reflect the communities they represent.
  • The County Council had shown good practice in negotiating with the Town Council regarding the bottle bank in the Castle Grounds. They should be sent a letter of thanks. In contrast the shelter had been taken away from Glyndwr Square without notice.
  • Tesco were talking to the developers regarding light pollution issues

 

 

Cllr Alun Williams

  • Cllr Williams attended a regional board regarding local government reconfiguration. He stressed the importance of Mid Wales to the whole of Wales.

131.4

Yr Esgob Tom Burns:  roedd wedi danfon llythyr yn beirniadu rheolaeth y Cyngor o’r cyfarfod arbennig ac yn gwadu ei addewid i ganiatáu arolwg. Teimlai'r Aelodau yn gryf fod ei lythyr yn amharchus, yn sarhaus, yn anghywir ac o bosibl yn enllibus. PENDERFYNWYD y byddai ymateb manwl yn cael ei ddanfon yn ymdrin â'r holl bwyntiau a wnaed, tra hefyd yn mynd ar drywydd llwybrau eraill i ddiogelu'r Eglwys.

Bishop Tom Burns: he had sent a letter criticising the Council’s management of the extraordinary meeting and denying his promise to allow a survey.  Members felt strongly that his letter was disrespectful, insulting, inaccurate and possibly libellous.  It was RESOLVED that a detailed response would be sent dealing with all the points made, whilst also pursuing other avenues to safeguard the Church.

 

 

131.5

Ann Uruska: llythyr yn diolch i’r Cyngor Tref am ei broffesiynoldeb; yn ymddiheurio am y cyhuddiadau yn erbyn y Cyngor sydd wedi ymddangos yn y wasg ac yn mynegi siom at dro pedol yr Esgob o ran ei addewid.

 

Ann Uruska: A thank you letter to the Town Council for its professional management of the extraordinary meeting; apologizing for the accusations against the Council that have appeared in the press and expressing disappointment at the Bishop's U-turn regarding his promise.
