The Chair formally welcomed the member of the public and invited them to raise questions or make comments on the agenda. No questions or comments were raised.

Cyng. Endaf Edwards:

·         Llongyfarchiadau i’r cyn-gynghorydd Kerry Ferguson ar ei phenodiad yn Ddirprwy Lywydd y Senedd.

·         Pryderon Llifogydd – Coedlan y Parc: Cododd Cyng. Edwards bryderon ynghylch dŵr yn cronni y tu ôl i eiddo yng Nghoedlan y Parc, ger Tesco. Adroddwyd bod problemau gyda draeniad (soakaways) yn achosi i byllau ffurfio mewn tywydd gwlyb. Nodwyd mai Cyngor Sir Ceredigion oedd yn gyfrifol am y tir. Mynegwyd pryder arbennig am breswylydd sy’n defnyddio cadair olwyn ac yn cyrchu ei eiddo o’r cefn, gyda’r llifogydd yn effeithio ar fynediad i’r preswylydd ac i ymwelwyr. Nodwyd bod y mater wedi’i godi gyda’r Aelod Cabinet priodol, ac y gallai fod angen ymchwiliad pellach, gan gynnwys o bosibl defnyddio arolwg camera, i ganfod achos y broblem.

·         Materion Parcio – Uchaf Y Stryd Fawr: Codwyd pryderon ynghylch parcio o fewn y parth cerddwyr yn rhan uchaf Y Stryd Fawr. Cyfeiriodd Cyng. Edwards at gynnig Cyngor Sir Ceredigion i greu Parth Parcio Cyfyngedig (RPZ) (gweler eitem Gohebiaeth 32.3).

Cyng. Shelley Childs:

·         Taliadau Parcio ar y Promenâd: Dywedodd Cyng. Childs fod taliadau parcio ar y promenâd wedi dod i rym ac wedi denu sylw yn y wasg, gan gynnwys BBC Radio Wales ac ITV. Datryswyd y problemau technegol cychwynnol a brofwyd yn gynharach yn y dydd erbyn canol y prynhawn, ac yna roedd y system yn gweithredu fel y bwriadwyd. Nodwyd y disgwylid i’r taliadau annog cylchdroi llefydd ac yn gwella argaeledd i ymwelwyr, gyda chyfnod aros o ddwy awr yn cael ei ystyried yn ddigonol ar gyfer ymweliadau byr. Cyfeiriwyd at y meysydd parcio oddi ar y stryd cyfagos a’r tocynnau tymor sydd ar gael, a ddisgrifiwyd fel rhai rhesymol eu pris tua £5.50–£6 y dydd. Nodwyd ymhellach mai Aberystwyth oedd cyn y olaf o’r promenadau yng Nghymru i gyflwyno taliadau o’r fath, ac nad oedd tocynnau tymor, sy’n cynnig gwerth da am arian, wedi cael eu hyrwyddo’n eang.

o   Codwyd cwestiwn ynghylch a oedd preswylwyr yn cael parcio y tu allan i’w cartrefi. Cadarnhawyd nad oedd unrhyw eithriadau ar gyfer parcio preswyl o dan y cynllun presennol.

o   Codwyd cwestiwn ynghylch a ellid cadw llefydd parcio ar gyfer preswylwyr o fewn y meysydd parcio. Cadarnhawyd nad oedd modd cadw llefydd, ac y gweithredir pob trefniant parcio ar sail “y cyntaf i’r felin”; nodwyd bod tocynnau tymor ar gael ar gyfer meysydd parcio arhosiad hir.

·         Datblygiad Min y Ddol: Dywedodd Cyng. Shelley Childs fod cyfarfod yn ymwneud â thrafodaethau prydles ym Min y Ddol wedi’i drefnu i gael ei gynnal yn ystod yr wythnos, gyda chyswllt rheolaidd yn cael ei gynnal gyda rhanddeiliaid allweddol. Nodwyd bod sylwadau wedi’u derbyn gan y gymuned feicio yn cefnogi datblygiad trac pwmp yn yr ardal. Y lleoliad arfaethedig.

Cyng. Alun Williams:

·         Gwesty Belle Royal Vue – Cais Cynllunio: Dywedodd Cyng. Williams fod y cais arfaethedig ar gyfer adnewyddu a dylunio Gwesty Belle Royal Vue wedi’i wrthod gan Bwyllgor Cynllunio Cyngor Sir Ceredigion. Cadarnhaodd ei fod wedi siarad o blaid y cais; fodd bynnag, cynghorodd swyddogion cynllunio y byddai’n anghyfreithlon bwrw ymlaen â’r datblygiad arfaethedig oherwydd statws rhestredig yr adeilad.

·         Cynllunio – 24 Y Stryd Fawr: Adroddodd Cyng. Williams ar gynnig cyn-gais yn ymwneud â 24 Y Stryd Fawr (uwchben Poundland), yn cynnwys trosi’r lloriau cyntaf ac ail yn 14 fflat yn ymestyn tuag at Stryd y Frenhines. Nodwyd y byddai’r cyfnod ymgynghori yn dod i ben ar 10 Mehefin.

·         Tocynnau Tymor Parcio’r Promenâd: Mynegodd Cyng. Williams ei ddiolch i Gyng. Shelley Childs am dynnu sylw at argaeledd tocynnau tymor, gan nodi eu bod yn opsiwn cost-effeithiol i drigolion lleol.

o   Codwyd ymholiad ynghylch a oedd cynlluniau gan Gyngor Sir Ceredigion i hyrwyddo’r cynllun yn ehangach. Awgrymwyd y gallai gwell cyfathrebu a hyrwyddo fod o fudd, gan gynnwys ymgysylltu â busnesau ar y promenâd i godi ymwybyddiaeth. Cytunodd Cyng. Childs a Cyng. Williams i gefnogi a hyrwyddo’r cynllun ymhellach.

Cyng. Mark Strong:

o   Dim.

Cllr. Endaf Edwards:

·         Congratulations were extended to former councillor Kerry Ferguson on her appointment as Deputy Presiding Officer of the Senedd.

·         Flooding Concerns – Coedlan y Parc: Cllr. Edwards raised concerns regarding water pooling behind properties at Coedlan y Parc, adjacent to Tesco. It was reported that soakaway issues were causing puddles to form during wet weather. The land was noted to be under the responsibility of Ceredigion County Council. Particular concern was expressed for a resident who uses a wheelchair and accesses their property via the rear, with the flooding impacting access for both the resident and visitors. It was noted that the matter had been raised with appropriate Cabinet member, and that further investigation, potentially including the use of a camera survey, may be required to establish the cause of the issue.

·         Parking Issues – Upper Y Stryd Fawr: Concerns were raised regarding parking within the pedestrianised zone at the upper section of Y Stryd Fawr. Cllr. Edwards referred to the proposal by Ceredigion County Council to create a Restricted Parking Zone (RPZ) (see Correspondence item 32.3).

Cllr. Shelley Childs:

·         Promenade Parking Charges: Cllr. Childs advised that parking charges on the promenade had gone live and had attracted press coverage, including BBC Radio Wales and ITV. Initial technical issues experienced earlier in the day were resolved by mid-afternoon, with the system then operating as intended. It was noted that the charges were expected to encourage turnover of spaces and improve availability for visitors, with a two-hour stay considered sufficient for short visits. Reference was made to the nearby off-street car parks and available season tickets, which were described as reasonably priced at approximately £5.50–£6 per day. It was further noted that Aberystwyth had been the last promenade in Wales to introduce such charges, and that season tickets, which offer good value, had not been widely promoted.

o   A question was raised as to whether residents were permitted to park outside their homes. It was confirmed that there were no exceptions for residential parking under the current scheme.

o   A question was raised as to whether parking spaces could be reserved for residents within the car parks. It was confirmed that no spaces could be reserved, and all parking operates on a first-come, first-served basis; season tickets for long stay car parks were available.

·         Min y Ddol Development: Cllr. Shelly Childs advised that a meeting relating to lease negotiations at Min y Ddol was scheduled to take place during the week, with regular contact being maintained with key stakeholders. It was noted that representations had been received from the cycling community in support of the development of a pump track in the area. The proposed location.

Cllr. Alun Williams:

·         Belle Royal Vue Hotel – Planning Application: Cllr. Williams advised that the proposed renovation and design application for the Belle Royal Vue Hotel had been refused by Ceredigion County Council’s Planning Committee. He confirmed that he had spoken in support of the application; however, planning officers advised that, due to the building’s listed status, it would not have been lawful to proceed with the proposed development.

·         Planning – 24 Y Stryd Fawr: Cllr. Williams reported on a pre‑application proposal relating to 24 Y Stryd Fawr (above Poundland), involving the conversion of the first and second floors into 14 flats extending towards Stryd y Frenhines. It was noted that the consultation period would close on 10 June.

·         Promenade Parking Season Tickets: Cllr. Williams expressed thanks to Cllr. Shelley Childs for highlighting the availability of season tickets, noting that they provided a cost effective option for local residents.

o   A query was raised regarding whether there were plans for Ceredigion County Council to promote the scheme more widely. It was suggested that improved communication and promotion may be beneficial, including engagement with promenade businesses to raise awareness. Cllrs. Childs and Williams agreed to support and promote the scheme further.

Cllr. Mark Strong:

·         None.
