Plac Yosano – y geiriad

ARGYMHELLWYD diwygio a chadw’r hen blac, ynghyd â phrynu plac newydd i goffau’r cytundeb cyfeillgarwch newydd a arwyddwyd ar 9 Tachwedd 2023.

Bu ymweliad diweddar Maer Yosano yn llwyddiant mawr, a gwerthfawrogwyd gwaith y Cyngor. Diolchwyd i'r staff am eu gwaith.

Yosano plaque - wording

It was RECOMMENDED that the old plaque be amended and kept, along with the purchase of a new plaque to commemorate the new friendship agreement signed on 9 November 2023.

The recent visit by the Yosano Mayor had been a great success, and the Council’s work had been appreciated. Staff were thanked for their work.

Brandio’r Cyngor tref a nwyddau

Cafwyd adroddiad ar lafar gan y Clerc ar drafodaethau’r grŵp gwaith brandio. Gofynnwyd i gynghorwyr i ystyried sut a phryd y dylid defnyddio arfbais y Cyngor Tref a logo Aberystwyth. Nodwyd bod y Cyngor Tref yn cael ei ariannu gan arian cyhoeddus, ac felly roedd gwelededd a chydnabyddiaeth o waith y Cyngor yn bwysig.

Cyflwynwyd syniadau amrywiol ar gyfer nwyddau fforddiadwy e.e. bagiau siopa papur, matiau diod, darnau arian troli, sticeri, beiros a phensiliau

Town Council branding/merchandise

A verbal report was provided by the Clerk on the discussions of the branding working group. Councillors were asked to consider how and when the Town Council crest and Aberystwyth logo should be used. It was noted that the Town Council was funded by public money, and as such visibility and recognition of the Council’s work was important.

Various ideas for affordable merchandise were presented e.g. paper carrier bags, coasters, trolley coins, stickers, pens and pencils

Digwyddiad parc sglefrio:

Derbyniwyd cais i ddefnyddio Parc Kronberg i gynnal gweithdy sgiliau sglefrfyrddio i bobl ifanc. Croesawyd hyn ar yr amod bod gan yr ymgeisydd yswiriant digonol ac asesiad risg.

Skatepark event:

A request had been received to use Parc Kronberg to hold a skateboarding skills workshop for young people. This was welcomed, subject to the applicant having sufficient insurance cover and a risk assessment.
