ARGYMHELLWYD cymeradwyo gwariant o hyd at £12,000 ar gyfer prynu a gosod tri arwydd porth tref newydd yn lle’r arwyddion presennol ym Mhenglais, St Brieuc Boulevard a Rhydyfelin.

Byddai ystyriaeth yn cael ei rhoi i gyfran o’r costau yn cael ei thalu gan y cronfeydd grant Ffyniant Cyffredin.

Trafodwyd hefyd y posibilrwydd o gael arwydd ar y ffin â Llanbadarn Fawr.

It was RECOMMENDED to approve the expenditure of up to £12,000 for the purchase and installation of three new town gateway signs to replace the current signs at Penglais, Saint Brieuc Boulevard and Rhydyfelin.

Consideration would be given to a portion of the costs being covered by the Shared Prosperity grant funds.

The possibility of a sign on the border with Llanbadarn Fawr was also discussed.

ARGYMHELLWYD cyfrannu £1,500 i’r bartneriaeth. Yn anffodus, er eu bod yn grŵp gefeillio gweithredol iawn, nid oedd y Cyngor mewn sefyllfa i ddarparu’r swm llawn y gofynnwyd amdano oherwydd cynnydd mewn gweithgarwch o fewn y partneriaethau gefeillio eraill.

It was RECOMMENED to donate £1,500 to the partnership. Unfortunately, even though they are a very active twinning group, the Council was not in a position to provide the full amount requested due to increased activity within the other twinning partnerships.

Roedd cytundeb mewn egwyddor i wahodd cynrychiolwyr o Arklow i Aberystwyth ym mis Mawrth 2024, ar gyfer penwythnos Dydd Gŵyl Dewi. Manylion penodol a chostau i’w trafod ymhellach.

There was agreement in principle to invite representatives from Arklow to Aberystwyth in March 2024, for the St David’s day weekend. Specific details and costs to be discussed further.

ARGYMHELLWYD y polisi canlynol:

Byddai’r taliad blynyddol ychwanegol o £52 ar gyfer nwyddau traul swyddfa yn cael ei brosesu fel taliad sengl cyfradd unffurf. Byddai unrhyw gynghorydd sy’n dymuno gwrthod y taliad yn gwneud hynny’n ysgrifenedig i’r Clerc. Byddai ffurflen yn cael ei datblygu i gasglu manylion banc ond hefyd i ymrwymo i ddychwelyd unrhyw arian nas defnyddiwyd i’r Cyngor Tref.

The following policy was RECOMMENDED:

The additional annual payment of £52 for office consumables would be processed as a flat rate single payment.  Any councillor wishing to decline the payment would do so in writing to the Clerk.  A form would be developed to capture bank details but also to commit to returning any unused funding to the Town Council.
