Cofnodion o’r Pwyllgor Cyllid a Sefydliadau a gynhaliwyd nos Lun, 20 Mawrth 2017:

PENDERFYNWYD derbyn y cofnodion gyda chywiriad i Eitem 5. Y rheswm cywir am nad oedd y fenter Economi Liw Nos yn cael ei hariannu oedd oherwydd nad oedd y Cyngor Sir wedi cyflwyno anfoneb ac nid oherwydd y diffyg gweithgaredd a chyfathrebu.

Minutes of the Finance and Establishments Committee held on Monday, 20 March 2017:

It was RESOLVED to accept the minutes with a correction to Item 5. The correct reason for the Night Time Economy initiative not being funded was because the County Council had not submitted an invoice and not because of the lack of activity and communication.

Finance Committee recommendations:

175.1

7. 1 Fframyn ddringo i Benparcau: nid oedd y ffrâm a gytunwyd gan y Cyngor yn cael ei stocio bellach. Roedd y Cynghorwyr Jeff Smith a Talat Chaudhri a'r Clerc wedi cwrdd gydag arbenigwr offer chwarae ar y safle a chynigir fod y Cyngor yn:

• Creu llwybrau newydd gan fod y tir yn wlyb
• Prynu cylchfan hygyrch
• Adnewyddu’r offer presennol gan fod y safon yn dda a’r rhwd yn arwynebol.

PENDERFYNWYD cytuno i'r uchod mewn egwyddor ond dylid darparu dyfnbrisiau i’w trafod yn y Pwyllgor Cyllid nesaf

7. 1 Climbing Frame for Penparcau: the frame that had been agreed by Council was no longer stocked. Cllrs Jeff Smith and Talat Chaudhri and the Clerk had met with a play equipment expert on site and it was proposed that the Council:

• Creates new paths as the ground is wet
• Purchases an accessible roundabout
• Renovates existing equipment as the quality is good and the rust superficial.

It was RESOLVED to agree to the above in principle but quotes to be provided for discussion at the next Finance Committee

Adroddiadau AR LAFAR gan Gynghorwyr Sir Ceredigion ar faterion sydd yn ymwneud â Chyngor Aberystwyth YN UNIG:

1. Mark Strong:

• Roedd y Cyngor Sir wedi trafod papur gwyn y llywodraeth Diwygio Llywodraeth Leol: Cadernid ac Adnewyddiad. Dylid ymateb cyn 11 Ebrill.
• Aberystwyth Cyfeillgar i Wenyn: ail gyfarfod wedi'i gynnal gyda golwg ar sefydlu grŵp yn Aberystwyth. Dylid eu gwahodd i siarad â'r Cyngor Tref.

1. Alun Williams:

• Roedd trigolion lleol a chynghorwyr wedi plannu 125 o flodau gwyllt ar fanc yn Rhes Poplys. Byddai mwy o fentrau yn cael eu croesawu.

Cyng Steve Davies:

• Yn ystod trafodaethau ynghylch materion yn ymwneud â’r gefnffordd drwy Penparcau, roedd WG wedi dweud fod tynnu’r statws cefnffordd yn yr arfaeth.

Cyng Ceredig Davies:

• Byddai'r uchod yn golygu tynnu statws cefnffordd y Stryd Fawr hefyd a fyddai'n galluogi gwell defnydd a rheolaeth leol

VERBAL reports from Ceredigion County Councillors on matters ONLY pertaining to Aberystwyth Council:

1. Mark Strong:

• The County Council had discussed a government white paper Reforming Local Government: Resilient and Renewed. Responses to be received by 11 April.
• Bee Friendly Aberystwyth: a second meeting had been held with a view to establish a group in Aberystwyth. They should be invited to speak to the Town Council

1. Alun Williams:

• Local residents and councillors had planted 125 wild flowers on a bank in Poplar Row. More initiatives would be welcome.

Cllr Steve Davies:

• During discussions regarding trunk road issues through Penparcau, WG had said that de-trunking was in the pipeline.

Cllr Ceredig Davies:

• The above would mean the de-trunking of Great Darkgate St which would enable improved use and local control

182.2

Santes Gwenfrewi: Roedd y Banc wedi gwrthod benthyciad i adeiladu'r eglwys ym Mhenparcau ac o ganlyniad roedd yr Esgobaeth yn galw am roddion o ardaloedd eraill, ond nid oedd plwyfolion Aberystwyth wedi cael gwybod am hyn.

St Winefride’s: The Bank had refused a loan to build the church in Penparcau and as a result the Diocese were calling for donations from other areas but Aberystwyth parishioners had not been informed of this.

182.3

Safle Canolfan Cadetiaid y Môr: cais gan berchennog eiddo i’r Cyngor Tref gysylltu â Tesco i gefnogi datblygu gardd ar lan yr afon yn hytrach nag adeiladu fflatiau.

Er cefnogi’r cais mewn egwyddor, nid oedd modd gwneud dim hyd nes i gais cynllunio gael ei gyflwyno. Nodwyd hefyd nad oedd yn ddim i'w wneud â Tesco.

Sea Cadets Centre land: a request from a property owner for the Town Council to contact Tesco to support the development of a riverside garden as opposed to building flats.

Although the request was supported in principle it was felt that nothing could be done until a planning application was submitted. It was also noted that it was nothing to do with Tesco.

182.4

Penodi Aelodau Cyngor Partneriaeth y Gymraeg:

Teimlai'r Cynghorwyr ei bod yn gwbl annerbyniol bod y gallu i siarad Cymraeg yn hanfodol ar gyfer 1 Aelod o'r Cyngor yn unig, ac ond yn ddymunol ar gyfer gweddill yr Aelodau.

PENDERFYNWYD ysgrifennu at Lywodraeth Cymru yn mynegi bod hyn yn dangos amarch ar gyfer yr iaith Gymraeg a dinasyddion Cymru.

Appointment of Members to the Welsh Language Partnership Council:

Councillors felt that it was totally unacceptable that the ability to speak Welsh was only essential for 1 Member of the Council, and only desirable for the remaining Members.

It was RESOLVED to write to WG expressing that this demonstrated disrespect for the Welsh language and Welsh citizens.

PENDERFYNWYD bod y Cyngor yn:

• gwrthwynebu ynni niwclear
• ymchwilio i fentrau ynni adnewyddadwy Ynni Ogwen

Natural Resources Wales (NRW) consultation on nuclear energy (Wylfa):

PAWB had written to highlight the flawed consultation and encouraging local governments, and others, across Wales to complain.

It was RESOLVED that the Council:

• opposes nuclear energy
• will investigate Ynni Ogwen renewable energy initiatives

Cysgodfannau beic:

ARGYMHELLWYD nad yw safleoedd Stryd y Popty, Rhodfa’r Gogledd a Sgwâr y Brenin yn lleoliadau addas. Byddai Llochesi beic:

• yn rhy ymwthiol yn weledol yng nghanol y dref - gormod o annibendod stryd eisoes
• ddim yn gweddu i’'r stryd hanesyddol
• yn trap sbwriel (fel yn y ganolfan hamdden)
• yn creu mater cynnal a chadw ee posteri anghyfreithlon a baw gwylanod
• yn creu anhawster mewn ardaloedd a ddefnyddir ar gyfer digwyddiadau

Dylid darparu rheseli beic yn y lleoliadau uchod ond dylid gosod rac safle Sgwâr y Brenin ar ochr Stryd y Baddon. Dim byd i'w leoli rhwng yr Academi a Neuadd y Farchnad (blaen)

Safleoedd arall ar gyfer llochesi beiciau:

• Nesaf at y Morlan
• Nesaf at Sinema’r Commodore
• Yng nghefn Matalan
• Yng nghefn toiledau’r Castell
• Yng nghefn Neuadd Alexandrea

Lleoliadau ar gyfer raciau beic bach:

• Tu allan i siop Clinton - gallai mainc gael ei hychwanegu yn ddiweddarach gan fod cerdded y Stryd Fawr yn anodd i’r anabl
• Tu allan i Nationwide
• Rhwng yr Academi a Neuadd y Farchnad (cefn)
• Tu allan i Savers
• Tu cefn i Neuadd Alexandra
• Lôn ar ochr chwith Neuadd Alexandra
• Glan Môr y De - rhwng y ddwy res o garejis; ger y Gap ac ar ardal balmantog llydan y prom
• Caeffynnon Penparcau
• Coedlan Plas Crug (pen yr ysgol)

Gorsaf Atgyweirio Deluxe: mor agos â phosibl at yr orsaf rheilffordd neu wrth ymyl lloches Matalan.

Pwmp Beic: nesaf at y rac yn Rhodfa'r Gogledd neu'r lloches yn y Castell

Sylwadau eraill:

• Dylai pob rac ac ati gael band melyn ar gyfer y rhai â nam ar eu golwg. Dylid ymgynghori gyda Fforwm Anabledd Ceredigion.
• Teimlwyd y dylid rhoi pwysau ar Network Rail i dderbyn rac (a gorsaf trwsio) ger yr orsaf.
• Roedd cwynion am rai seiclwyr yn seiclo ar y palmentydd yn y dref ac yn erbyn traffig ar Ffordd y Môr

Bike Shelters:

It was RECOMMENDED that Baker Street, North Parade and Kings Hall sites were not suitable locations. Bike shelters:

• Would be too visually obtrusive in the town centre – too much street clutter already
• Would not be in keeping with historic street
• Would become a litter trap (as in leisure centre)
• Would create a maintenance issue eg fly posting and gull droppings
• Would create clutter in areas used for events

Bike racks should be provided in the above locations but the Kings Hall rack should be placed on the Bath Street side.  Nothing to be located between the Academy and the Market Hall (front)

Alternative sites for bike shelters:

• Next to the Morlan
• Next to the Commodore Cinema
• At the back of Matalan
• At the back of the Castle toilets
• At the back of Alexandrea Hall

Locations for small bike racks:

• Outside Clinton Cards – a bench could be added later as Great Darkgate Street was a struggle for the disabled
• Outside Nationwide
• Between Academy and Market Hall (back)
• Outside Savers
• Back of Alexandra Hall
• Alleyway to the left side of Alexandra Hall
• South Marine – between the two garage blocks; by the Gap and on wide paved area of the prom
• Fifth Avenue Penparcau
• Plas Crug Avenue (school end)

Deluxe Repair Station: as close as possible to the railway station or next to the Matalan shelter.

Bike Pump: next to the rack in North Parade or the shelter in the Castle

Other comments:

• All racks etc should have yellow band for the visually impaired. Ceredigion Disability Forum should be consulted.
• It was felt that pressure should be put on Network Rail to accept a rack (and repair station) near the station.
• There were complaints about some cyclists cycling on the pavements in town and against traffic in Terrace Road

Lleoliadau meinciau’r Cyngor Tref: Trefechan a Penparcau

Roedd ansicrwydd ynghylch pa feinciau yr oedd y Cyngor Tref yn gyfrifol amdanynt. Marciodd Cynghorwyr y meinciau yr oeddent yn gwybod amdanynt ar y mapiau a ddarparwyd.

Roedd angen Meinciau yn yr ardaloedd canlynol:

• Maes Gogerddan
• Buarth

Dylai meinciau newydd fabwysiadu steil y sarff (lle bo'n briodol).

Town Council bench locations: Trefechan and Penparcau

There was uncertainty about which benches the Town Council was responsible for.  Councillors marked known benches on the maps provided.

Benches were needed in the following areas:

• Maes Gogerddan
• Buarth

New benches should adopt the serpent style  (where appropriate).

Adolygu'r Cynllun Partneriaeth Llywodraeth Leol: Awgrymodd y Cyng Jeff Smith y dylai'r Cyngor ddadlau y dylai Llywodraeth Cymru fod â dyletswydd statudol i ystyried sylwadau cynghorau cymuned ee:

• Lle cynigir deddfwriaeth sylfaenol (pleidlias AauC) sy'n effeithio ar gynghorau cymuned, rhaid ymgynghori gyda phob cyngor cymuned a effeithir arnynt, er mwyn iddynt gael y cyfle i roi eu barn, a dylid sicrhau fod y rhain, wedi coladu, ar gael i Aelodau'r Cynulliad cyn y bleidlais.
• Lle cynigir deddfwriaeth eilradd, (Gweinidog yn pasio deddfwriaeth heb bleidlais), sy'n effeithio ar gynghorau cymuned, rhaid ymgynghori gyda phob cyngor cymuned, a effeithir arnynt, i roi eu barn. Gofynnir i'r Gweinidog perthnasol i gymryd y rhain i ystyriaeth, ac i gynhyrchu dogfen sy'n darparu ymateb rhesymegol i bob pwynt sylweddol a wnaed, gan amlinellu a yw wedi ei gyflawni yn y ddeddfwriaeth derfynol ac, os nad yw, gan roi rhesymau dros hyn.

Review of the Local Government Partnership Scheme:  Cllr Jeff Smith suggested that the Council should argue for the Welsh Government to have a statutory duty to take into account comments by community councils eg:

• Where primary legislation is proposed (AMs vote) that affects community councils, all affected community councils must be consulted to give their views, and these, collated, should be made available to AMs prior to the vote.

• Where secondary legislation is proposed (a Minister passes legislation without a vote) that affects community councils, all affected community councils must be consulted to give their views. The relevant Minister is required to take these into account, and produce a document providing a reasoned response to each substantive point made, outlining whether it has been achieved in the final legislation and, if not, giving reasons for this.

• Byrddau Anrhydeddau: Roedd y Cyng Brendan Somers wedi dod o hyd i gyflenwr, ond teimlai ei fod yn rhy ddrud. Cynghorydd Davies Ceredig i ymchwilio i brisiau rhatach.

Cost codes to be reviewed

• Night Time Economy: It was RESOLVED not to fund this initiative for 2016-17 due to Ceredigion County Council not having submitted an invoice.

 Schedule of Works:

Cllr Mark Strong left the room.

Following consideration of all applications and discussion it was RECOMMENDED that Ceredigion County Council be offered the work but with stringent monitoring of the quality of work.  Their quote was reasonable and it was felt that they had the necessary qualifications and knowledge of the sites to enable minimal management.

Cronfa Cynllun Chwarae - Llywodraeth Cymru

Bu’r Cyngor Tref yn llwyddiannus mewn derbyn grant o £4320 ar gyfer prynu un siglen i’r anabl. Cytunwyd ei lleoli ym Mhlascrug lle’r oedd mynediad yn well i gadeiriau olwyn.
