Cyflwyniad gan Jacqui Weatherburn, Pennaeth Coleg Ceredigion a tri o’i    

chydweithwyr/A presentation by Jacqui Weatherburn, Head of Coleg Ceredigion  and three of her colleagues

 

Cafwyd cyflwyniad diddorol gan y Pennaeth, Jacqui Weatherburn, Teresa Jones (Uwch Gyfarwyddwr Cwricwlwm, Ansawdd a Dysgwyr), Keith Henson (Pennaeth Gwasanaethau Masnachol a Menter), Helen Griffith (Cyfarwyddwr Cwricwlwm a Dysgwyr).

Dyma’r unig goleg o’i fath sydd yn sir Ceredigion. Blwyddyn a hanner yn ôl fe gyfunodd Coleg Ceredigion gyda Phrifysgol Drindod Dewi Sant. Prif fwriad y Pennaeth yn y cyfarfod oedd codi fwy o ymwybyddiaeth am y Coleg drwy, efallai rywbryd gynnal rhai o gyfarfodydd y Cyngor ar y campws. Dywedodd bod y Cwricwlwm y maent yn ei gynnig yn ceisio ymateb i angen lleol. Maent yn ceisio hyfforddi eu myfyrwyr ar gyfer yr economi sy’n bodoli fel y mae ar hyn o bryd. Er mor fychan yw’r Coleg o ran niferoedd cawsant wobr fel y pedwerydd coleg gorau yng Nghymru – nododd, y lleia’n y byd yw’r coleg y caleta’n y byd ydyw i fod yn dda; ond er hynny y mae Coleg Ceredigion yn llwyddo.

Rhestrwyd amrediad y gwahanol gyrsiau ar y ddau gampws yn Aberystwyth ac Aberteifi. Nodwyd bod prentisiaethau yn digwydd tra bod y myfyrwyr yn gweithio yn y gweithle. Mae’r cyrsiau dysgu yn y gweithle yn cael eu cyllido gan Lywodraeth Cynulliad Cymru. Maent yn cynnig cyrsiau byr fel Cymorth Cyntaf a Trwyddedu Hylendid Bwyd. Maent yn ceisio datblygu entrepreneuriaeth drwy ddod â pherson i mewn fel mentor sy’n gallu bod yn esiampl o rywun sydd wedi llwyddo i ddatblygu eu busnes eu hunain. Cenhadaeth y Coleg yw cyflawni potensial bywydau pobl.

Ar ôl y cyflwyniadau cafwyd cyfle i ofyn cwestiynau ac ymateb.

1. i) Gofynnwyd gan Aelod sut gall y Cyngor ymwneud â’r Coleg?

Atebodd y Pennaeth bod gan bob cwrs, fyfyriwr sy’n eu cynrychioli a gall rhywrai ddod i’w cyfarfod.

1. ii) Gofynwyd gan Aelod a fyddai modd agor deialog drwy gael gwirfoddolwyr i helpu o’r Coleg i helpu a chefnogi gwahanol brosiectau sydd gan y Cyngor?

Atebodd y Pennaeth fod yna lawer iawn o gyfle o fewn y Fagloriaeth Gymreig i fyfyrwyr gynnig gwirfoddoli mewn sawl maes i ddangos tystiolaeth o’u cyfraniad i’r gymdeithas. Yn dilyn hyn dywedodd y gellid ei gynnwys yng nghwricwlwm pob adran neu o leiaf wneud y myfyrwyr yn ymwybodol o’r cyfle sydd i gael i wirfoddoli.

iii) Gofynwyd a fyddai Coleg Ceredigion yn gallu bod yn weithgar gyda Masnach-Deg?

Atebwyd, doedd dim dwywaith na fyddai’r Coleg yn falch iawn o gefnogi’r Cyngor ym mhob agwedd o’u gweithgareddau gyda Masnach Deg.

Ynghanol y drafodaeth eang gafwyd, nodwyd gan y Pennaeth ei bod yn rhwydd weithiau i anghofio Coleg Ceredigion ond does dim cyfyngiad oedran mae’n agored i bawb.

 

An interesting presentation was given by the Head, Jacqui Weatherburn, Teresa Jones (Senior Curriculum, Quality and Learners Director), Keith Henson (Head of Commercial and Enterprise Services), Helen Griffith (Director of Curriculum and Learners).

This was the only college of its type in Ceredigion. Eighteen months ago, Coleg Ceredigion and University of Wales Trinity Saint David merged. The main purpose of the Head in the meeting was to raise more awareness of the College by possibly holding some Council meetings on the campus. She said that the Curriculum that they offered sought to respond to local need. They try to train their students for the economy which existed, as it currently was. Though the College is small in terms of numbers, they were awarded the fourth best college in Wales – she noted that, the smaller the college, the harder it was for it to be good; but despite that, Coleg Ceredigion is still successful.

The range of different courses on both campuses in Aberystwyth and Cardigan was listed. It was noted that apprenticeships happened whilst the students were working in the workplace. The workplace learning courses were funded by Welsh Government. They offer short courses such as First Aid and Food Hygiene Licensing. They are trying to develop entrepreneurship by bringing in a person as a mentor who could be an example of someone who had succeeded to develop their own business. The College’s mission was to achieve potential in people’s lives.

After the presentations, there was an opportunity for questions and answers.

1. i) A Member enquired how the Council could be involved with the College?

The Head replied by saying that every course had a student who represented it and that anyone may come to meet them.

1. ii) A Member enquired whether it would be possible to open a dialogue by having volunteers from the College to help and support various projects that the Council had?

The Head replied by saying that there were many opportunities within the Welsh Baccalaureate for students to offer to volunteer in many fields to show evidence of their contribution to society. Following this, she said that it could be included in the curriculum of every department or at least make the students aware of the opportunities available to volunteer.

iii) It was enquired whether Coleg Ceredigion could be active with Fair Trade?

It was replied that there was no doubt that the College would be very pleased to support the Council in all aspects of its activities with Fair Trade.

As part of the broad discussion held, the Head noted that it was easy sometimes to forget about Coleg Ceredigion but there was no age restriction, it was open to everyone.

1. ii) Cofnod 86(6) Minute 86(6) Rhandiroedd/Allotments

Nodwyd gan y Cyngh. Mererid Jones ei bod wedi bod mewn cysylltiad gyda Cynnal y Cardi. Y mae yna  wahanol brosiectau cyffrous, megis datblygu fwy o ardaloedd i randiroedd y gallai’r Cyngor Tref fanteisio o gael mynediad i gyllid posib, sydd wedi ei lansio gan Cynnal y Cardi tuag at y fath brosiectau, gan gynnwys datblygu gerddi ac ardaloedd gwyrdd ar gyfer anghenion lleol.

Councillor Mererid Jones noted that she had been in contact with Cynnal y Cardi. There were various exciting projects, such as developing more areas as allotments and that the Town Council could take advantage of accessing potential funding which had been launched by Cynnal y Cardi towards such projects, including developing gardens and green areas for local needs. The Town Council was awaiting a report from Aberystwyth University regarding leasing the piece of land on the old bowling green at Plas-crug.

At this point, it was noted that there was a need to choose Members to represent the Town Council on the committees which would be held with the other councils in order to collaborate on creating the “Place-Plan” together. It was RESOLVED to elect the Chair and Vice-chair of Planning, Cllr. Jeff Smith and Cllr. Lucy Huws, Chair and Vice-chair of Finance, Cllr. Mererid Jones and Cllr. Alun Williams and Cllr.

It was RESOLVED to send a Press release to the Cambrian News notifying the public about the consultaion that is ongoing and that anyone is welcome to write to the Town Council with their response, so that the Town Council may send them on to the Union of Shop, Distributive and Allied Workers (Usdaw).

1. Cynllun Datblygu Lleol – diweddariad/Local Development Plan – update

Darllenwyd llythyr oddi wrth Mrs Anjuli Davies, Adran Polisi Cynllunio a Gwasanaethau Ymchwil, Adran Gynllunio Cyngor Sir Ceredigion mewn ymateb i lythyr anfonwyd atynt 2 Hydref 2015 parthed ail-ysytried nifer y tai sydd wedi eu clustnodi ar gyfer Aberystwyth yng Nghynllun Datblygu Lleol 2007-2022 (1,877 o unedau llety). Cafwyd trafodaeth fanwl ar y pwnc a‘r consensws oedd bod yn rhaid i Gyngor Sir Ceredigion gymryd camau i sicrhau bod Llywodraeth Cymru yn darparu cynnydd digonol yn y cyllid cyn ymgynghoriad 2017 i ddelio â gofynion twf yn y boblogaeth drefol. Fe fydd twf yn y boblogaeth yn effeithio ysgolion sydd yn torri ar nifer y staff, ac yn arwain at ddiffygion yn y ddarpariaeth addysg a chau ysgolion oherwydd cwymp yn y cyllid gan Lywodraeth Cymru. Mae Ysbyty Bronglais hefyd yn dioddef, oherwydd anawsterau ariannol Bwrdd Hywel Dda i ddarparu’r gwasanaethau angenrheidiol, gyda  rhestrau aros a diffyg gwlâu. Codwyd pryderon hefyd am y ffaith byddai unrhyw ddatblygiad ychwanegol ym Mhenparcau, e.e. datblygiad Piercefield Lane, yn ychwanegu at dagfeydd hir oherwydd diffygion yn isadeiledd ffyrdd.

Deellir mai Llywodraeth Cymru sy’n danfon targedau ar gyfer nifer tai ychwanegol at Gynghorau Sir, felly mae’n bwysig i’r Cyngor Sir gael ymrwymiad clir gan Lywodraeth Cymru o gyllid ychwanegol i ddarparu isadeiladaeth ddigonol.

PENDERFYNWYD ysgrifennu llythyr yn ôl at Mrs Anjuli Davies yn gofyn beth yw eu targedau o ran canran  anheddau newydd sydd ar gyfer tai fforddiadwy, ac i ba raddau maent  yn cyrraedd y targed; hefyd i ofyn faint o adnoddau ychwanegol ar gyfer yr isadeiledd megis addysg a gofal iechyd mae’r Cyngor Sir yn ymrwymo i ddarparu yn ardal Aberystwyth i wasanaethu’r tai ychwanegol a thwf naturiol yn y boblogaeth, gan ychwanegu’r pwyntiau uchod a fu yn y drafodaeth.

A letter was read from Mrs Anjuli Davies, from the Policy and Research Services Section of the Planning Department of Ceredigion County Council’s response to a letter sent 2 October 2015 regarding the proposed number of new houses in Aberystwyth designated in the Local Development Plan 2007-2022 (1,877 units of housing). A detailed discussion was had on the subject and the consensus was that Ceredigion County Council should take steps to ensure that the Welsh Government would provide the adequate budget increase to deal with the town’s population growth before going ahead with the 2017 Consultation. The growth in the population will affect schools which are at present having to cut staff and close schools, leading in turn to a drop in standards, this is due to the drop in funding by the Welsh Government. Bronglais Hospital is also struggling because of the difficulties Bwrdd Hywel Dda have in budgeting for the necessary services and beds. Concerns were raised about further developments in Penparcau, for example the Piercefield Lane development would overload the road leading to extreme traffic congestion. It is understood that the Welsh Government sets out the number of additional houses  for Councils to earmark for the LDP plans, and therefore Ceredigon Council should insist on financial guarantees to ensure that the infrastructure is adequate to deal with the challenges.

It was RESOLVED to write a letter back to  Mrs Anjuli Davies to ask what are their percentage target is for new affordable houses, and to what extent are they reaching the target; and also to ask how much extra resources have the County Council  allocated for infrastructure, such as education and health care in the Aberystwyth area to service the extra housing and the natural growth in the population; including the points above that were raised in the discussion.

1. 8. Caniatawyd i Aelod ofyn sut gellid cael arwydd yn rhybuddio traffic am gerddwyr a seiclwyr yn Felin y Môr. PENDERFYNWYD cyfeirio’r mater i’r Pwyllgor Rheolaeth Cyffredinol.

A Member was allowed to ask how to obtain a sign at Felin y Môr warning traffic about pedestrians and cyclists. It was RESOLVED to refer the mater to the General Management Committee.

PENDERFYNWYD derbyn y Cofnodion gyda’r cywiriadau blaenorol.

It was RESOLVED to accept the Minutes with the foregoing amendments.

DIM/NONE

 

1. 4. Cyflwyniad gan Mr. Chris Ashman ar ‘Well Being of Future Generations Act 2015 – Duty  on Town and Community Councils’/Presentation by Mr. Chris Ashman on ‘Well Being of Future Generations Act 2015 – Duty on Town and Community Councils’

 

Cafwyd cyflwyniad pwynt-pŵer gan Mr Ashman o gwmni The Means – cwmni sy’n cefnogi a chynghori cynghorau ar sut i ddatblygu syniadau sy’n berthnasol ac yn bwysig i’r cymunedau y maent yn eu cynrychioli, gan gynnig ffyrdd o wireddu a gweithredu ar y syniadau a flaenoriaethwyd i’w cyflawni. Nodwyd gan Mr Ashman ei bod yn ddyletswydd ar gynghorau mawr ddangos tystiolaeth o’u cynlluniau –  y rhai sydd ganddynt yn barod, y rhai sydd ar y gweill a’r rhai yn y dyfodol –  mewn datganiad cryno, yn dilyn bodolaeth y ‘Well Being of  Future Generations Act 2015.

Roedd ganddo fodel i’w ddilyn o’r enw ”Whole Place” a fyddai’n cynnwys (1) Proffil Data (2) Ymarferiad cysylltu/ennyn diddordeb – byddai hwn yn cynnwys gweithdai cymunedol, arolwg ar-lein, arolwg stryd, cyfweliadau gyda busnesau lleol (3) “Whole Place Plan” – Gan ddefnyddio’r holl wybodaeth a gesglir fe fydd yr holl asiantaethau yn gweithio gyda’i gilydd i greu cynllun strategol a datganiad ar sut y mae’n cyd-fynd gyda bwriadau’r ‘Ddeddf Well Being’.

Yr Opisiynau i Aberystwyth yw:

1. i) Derbyn yr “Whole Place” yn ei gyfanrwydd – c. £15,000
2. ii) Datganiad Well-being – c. £5,000

iii) Place-Plan – bwydo i mewn i Gynllun Datblygu Lleol Cyngor Sir Ceredigion yn unig. Y mae Llywodraeth Cymru yn cyllido hyn drwy’r Cyngor Sir er mwyn cael cyfraniadau lleol i sicrhau mewnbwn.

1. iv) Gwneud dim – sydd, yn ôl cwmni Mr Ashman ddim yn opsiwn.

Ar ôl i Mr Ashman ymadael cafwyd trafodaeth. Y farn gyffredinol oedd ar hyn o bryd y dylai’r Cyngor Tref ail-ymweld fel petai â’r Cynllun Busnes y  mae’r Cyngor Tref wedi ei wneud yn barod. Ac ar sail hynny PENDERFYNWYD gwahodd y Swyddog perthnasol sy’n delio gyda’r ‘Well-Being of Future Generations Act’ yng Nghyngor Ceredigion i weld sut y gellir cyfrannu a bod yn weithredol gyda hwy; gwahodd Cadeiryddion y Cynghorau Cymuned y mae’r Cyngor Tref eisioes wedi cysylltu â hwy gyda’r ‘Place Plan’ arfaethedig ar gyfer Aberystwyth a’r cylch, i ddod i’r cyfarfod hwnnw.

A PowerPoint presentation was given by Mr Ashman from The Means company – a company which supports and advises councils on how to develop ideas relevant and important to the communities they represent, offering ways of realising and implementing the ideas prioritised to be achieved. Mr Ashman noted that the large councils had a duty to show evidence of their plans – those they have currently, those which are in the pipeline and future ones – in a concise statement, following the existence of the Well-being of Future Generations Act 2015. He had a model to follow called “Whole Place” which would include (1) Data Profile (2) Engagement exercise – to elicit interest – this would include community workshops, online survey, street survey, interviews with local businesses (3) “Whole Place Plan” – Using all the information collected all the agencies will work together to create a strategic plan and statement on how it complies with the purposes of the ‘Well-being Act’.

The Options for Aberystwyth are:

1. i) To accept the “Whole Place” in its entirety – c. £15,000
2. ii) Well-being Statement – c. £5,000

iii) Place-Plan – feed into the Ceredigion County Council Local Development Plan only. Welsh Government funds this through the County Council in order to get local contributions to ensure input.

1. iv) Do nothing – which, according to Mr Ashman’s company, is not an option.

After Mr Ashman left, a discussion ensued. The general opinion was that, at present, the Town Council should revisit the Business Plan that the Town Council has already undertaken. On this basis, it was RESOLVED to invite the relevant Officer who deals with the Well-being of Future Generations Act at Ceredigion Council to see how would it be possible to participate and be active with them; invite the Chairs of the community councils that Aberystwyth Town Council have already contacted regarding the proposed ‘Place Plan’ for Aberystwyth and the area and invite them also to that meeting.

 

1. Gohebiaeth/Correspondence
2. i) Derbyniwyd e-bost gan Chris Mackenzie-Grieve, Cadeirydd Gwella Ardal Busnes Aberystwyth yn gofyn: a fyddai’r Cyngor yn ystyried mynychu grwpiau llywio’r grŵp wrth iddynt wynebu pleidleisio; a hefyd i ystyried trafod yn ffurfiol ‘cytundeb sylfaenol’ yn debyg i’r hyn y byddant yn cytuno arno gyda Chyngor Sir Ceredigion (hyn sy’n penderfynu ar y gwasanaethau y bydd y Cyngor Tref yn parhau i’w ddarparu pe baent yn ennill statws BID).

Roedd Mr Mackenzie-Grieve yn cynnig dod i’r Cyngor Tref i roi cyflwyniad i roi gwybodaeth ar ba gam y maent ar hyn o bryd yn y broses o ennill statws BID a pha syniadau sydd ganddynt neu a fydd ganddynt o wella’r rhagolygon busnes yn y dref.

PENDERFYNWYD gwahodd Mr Chris Mackenzie-Grieve i roi cyflwyniad i gyfarfod nesaf y Pwyllgor Rheolaeth Cyffredinol.

1. i) An e-mail was received from Chris Mackenzie-Grieve, the Chairman of the Aberystwyth Business Improvement District asking: would the Council consider attending the group’s steering groups as they face voting; and also to consider formally discussing a ‘basic agreement’ similar to what they would agree to with Ceredigion County Council (this is what decides the services the Town Council will continue to provide should they gain the BID status). Mr Mackenzie-Grieve offered to come to the Town Council to give a presentation to provide information on what stage they currently are in the process of gaining the BID status and what ideas they have, or will have, to improve the town’s business prospects.

It was RESOLVED to invite Mr Chris Mackenzie-Grieve to give a presentation to the the next General Management meeting.

1. ii) Derbyniwyd e-bost gan Siôn Jobbins, Cadeirydd Parêd Gŵyl Dewi Aberystwyth yn holi a fyddai’r Cyngor yn ystyried buddsoddi mewn baneri Cymru a Dewi Sant i’w codi ar hyd y dref; ac a fyddai gan y Cyngor ddiddordeb cynnal cystadleuaeth ffenest siop orau gyda’r Maer yn beirniadu. Roedd yn nodi yn ei e-bost bod Aber yn arwain yn y fenter hon trwy Gymru gyda Phwllheli a Chaernarfon wedi dechrau cynnal digwyddiad tebyg llynedd ac yn 2016 bydd Caerfyrddin yn cynnal eu Parêd Gŵyl Dewi cyntaf hwy. Nododd bod Aber yn arwain eto!

PENDERFYNWYD anfon ateb yn diolch a derbyn y gwahoddiad i’r Maer fod yn rhan o’r orymdaith ac i ddweud gair yn y Seremoni wrth gyflwyno’r person a fydd yn Dywysydd y Parêd; bod yr Aelodau o’r farn bod y syniadau a awgrymir, fel baneri  Cymru a Dewi Sant a chystadleuaeth ffenestr siop orau  yn ddatblygiad gwych i’r Parêd (fe fyddai’r Maer yn falch o feirniadu); eu llongyfarch bod Aberystwyth mor flaenllaw yn y fath fenter Gymreig; ond na all y Cyngor fynd i’r afael â threfnu dim ac iddynt hwy fel Trefnwyr y Parêd wneud cais ariannol yn y ffordd arferol fel yn y gorffennol.”

1. ii) An e-mail was received from Siôn Jobbins, Chair of the Aberystwyth St David’s Day Parade asking whether the Council would consider investing in Wales and St David’s flags to erect throughout the town; and whether the Council would be interested in holding a ‘best shop window’ competition with the Mayor adjudicating. He noted in his e-mail that Aber was leading in this venture throughout Wales with Pwllheli and Caernarfon having started to hold similar events last year and in 2016 Carmarthen would hold its first St David’s Parade. He noted that Aber was once again leading!

It was RESOLVED to send a reply thanking and accepting the invitation received for the Mayor to participate in the parade and to say a word in the Ceremony presenting the person who will be the Leader of the Parade; that Members are of the opinion that the ideas suggested, such as erecting Wales and St David’s flags throughout the town and the ‘best shop window’ competition were commendable developments  (the Mayor would be pleased to adjudicate); that they were to be congratulated  that Aberystwyth was so prominent in such a Welsh enterprise; but the Council could not be involved with organising anything and for them as Organisers of the Parade to submit a financial bid in the usual way as in the past.

iii)  Derbyniwyd e-bost gan Jenny Mckenzie yn diolch am gyfraniad Cyngor Tref Aberystwyth tuag at brynu coeden Nadolig yn Nhrefechan.

iii)  An e-mail was received from Jenny Mckenzie thanking Aberystwyth Town Council  for its contribution towards purchasing a Christmas tree in Trefechan.

Awgrymwyd gan y Fforwm efallai y gallai’r Cyngor Tref osod coeden Penparcau, Trefechan a’r dref gyda’i gilydd a thrwy hynny yn cael llawer gwell gwerth am arian gan ddefnyddio’r un gwasanaeth. PENDERFYNWYD nodi’r cynnwys a’i bod yn rhy hwyr  eleni i ystyried y mater.
2. iv) An e-mail from Cllr. Mererid Jones reporting back on a matter which was raised at the Penparcau Forum following a letter of financial support of £150 from the Town Council towards their Christmas tree. The Forum suggested maybe the Town Council could erect the Penparcau, Trefechan and the town’s trees together which would provide much better value for money by using the same service. It was RESOLVED to note the content and that it was too late to consider the matter this year.
3. v) E-bost gan Jekee Weng, ysgolhaig ar ymweliad ym Mhrifysgol Aberystwyth yn gofyn a fyddai modd cael baner gwlad Tseina ar y prom.

1. v) An e-mail from Jekee Weng, an academic on a visit to Aberystwyth University asking whether it would be possible to have a Chinese flag on the prom. It was RESOLVED to reply by saying that it was Ceredigion County Council that was responsible for the flags on the prom.
2. vi) Llythyr oddi wrth Mr. Matthew Willis, Rheolwr Cyffredinol Ysbyty Bronglais yn cydnabod y llythyr anfonwyd ato yn holi am ganiatâd i godi plac er cof am Dr Peter Edwards ar diriogaeth yr ysbyty ac yn cynnig enwi gardd gyda phlac pwrpasol ger yr ysbyty. Roedd y Rheolwr Cyffredinol yn cynnig y dylid ymweld â’r safle fel y gellid cytuno ar drefniadau ac opsiynau posib. PENDERFYNWYD y byddai’r Cyngh. Alun Williams yn trefnu ymweliad â’r safle ac y byddai’r Clerc yn cysylltu gyda James Memorials ar ôl cael y mesuriadau.
3. vi) A letter from Mr Matthew Willis, General Manager of Ysbyty Bronglais acknowledging the letter sent to him enquiring about permission to erect a plaque in memory of Dr Peter Edwards on hospital land and proposing naming a garden with a purposeful plaque near the hospital. The General Manager `agree on arrangements and possible options. It was RESOLVED that Cllr. Alun Williams would arrange a visit to the site and that the Clerk would contact James Memorials after obtaining the measurements.

vii) Derbyniwyd e-bost gan Megan Hall yn nodi bod pobl wedi bod yn aros yn hir am randiroedd a’r diffyg rhandiroedd sydd ar gael i bobl. Cytunwyd i’w drafod o dan eitem 6 ar yr Agenda.

vii) An e-mail was received from Megan Hall noting that people had been waiting for a long time for allotments and the shortage of allotments available for people. It was agreed to discuss it under item 6 on the Agenda.

viii) Derbyniwyd e-bost gan Geraint Morgan (Trenau Arriva Cymru) yn cydnabod yr e-bost a dderbyniodd ynglŷn â photiau blodau yng ngorsaf drên Aberystwyth. Cytunwyd i’w drafod dan eitem 10 ar yr Agenda.

Viiii) An e-mail was received from Geraint Morgan (Arriva Trains Wales) acknowledging the e-mail he received regarding flower pots at Aberystwyth train station. It was agreed to discuss it under item 10 on the Agenda.

 

 

 

1. Rhandiroedd/Allotments
2. i) Nodwyd bod pob aelod o’r Gymdeithas Rhandiroedd yn gorfod arwyddo prydles gyda amod: os nad yw’r prydlesydd yn garddio’r rhandir yna y mae’n torri amod y drwydded. Pan ddigwydd hyn fe fydd yn rhaid i’r Cyngor Tref anfon llythyr yn datgan na fydd modd ad-newyddu’r drwydded.
3. i) It was noted that every member of the Allotments Society had to sign a lease with the condition: if the lessor does not cultivate the allotment then he/she is in breach of the condition on the licence. When this would happen, the Town Council would have to send a letter stating that it would not be possible to renew the licence.
4. ii) Nodwyd y gellir lleihau maint rhandir cyn ei osod i rywun newydd gan ryddhau lle ar gyfer dau randir yn lle un.
5. ii) It was noted that the size of an allotment could be reduced before leasing it to someone new which would free-up space for two allotments rather than one.

iii) Ffens gadwyn sydd wedi torri – Mae’r Cadeirydd wedi gofyn am ddyfynbris gan Mr. Dilwyn Morgan i atgyweirio’r ffens.

iii)   A broken chain-link fence – The Chairman has asked for a quotation from Mr. Dilwyn Morgan to repair the fence.

1. iv) Adroddwyd bod cyfarfod rhwng Prifysgol Aberystwyth, Cymdeithas Bowlio a chynrychiolwyr o’r Cyngor Tre wedi ei gynnal ar safle’r hen faes bowlio Plas-crug. Nodwyd ei fod yn safle perffaith ar gyfer rhandiroedd. Rhaid aros am adroddiad gan Mr Tim Macey o’r Brifysgol. Yn y fan hon cyfeiriwyd at yr e-bost dderbyniwyd gan Meg Hall yn gofidio bod pobl wedi bod yn aros yn hir am randiroedd a’r diffyg rhandiroedd sydd ar gael i bobl. PENDERFYNWYD anfon yn ôl ati yn nodi bod posibilrwydd bod ardal newydd yn mynd i’w ddatblygu a hefyd nodi bod y Cyngor Tref a Chymdeithas y Rhandiroedd yn croesawu’r syniad o leihau/rhannu Rhandiroedd sy’n bodoli gan ryddhau lle ar gyfer dau randir yn lle un.

Adroddwyd bod y Cyngh. Mererid Jones mewn trafodaethau gyda Fforwm Penparcau eu bod am gymryd drosodd y darn tir siâp triongl wrth ymyl Rhandiroedd Coedlan 5.

Iv) It was reported that a meeting had been held between Aberystwyth University, the Bowling Society and representatives from the Town Council on the site of the old Plas-Crug Bowling green. It was noted that it was a perfect site for allotments. We must wait for a report from Mr Tim Macey from the University. At this point, reference was made to the e-mail received from Meg Hall noting concerns that people had been waiting a long time for allotments and the shortage of allotments available for people. It was RESOLVED to reply to her noting that there was a possibility that a new area would be developed and also noting that the Town Council and the Allotments Society welcomed the idea of freeing-up/sharing existing Allotments which would free-up space for two allotments rather than one.

It was reported that Cllr. Mererid Jones is in discussion with Penparcau Forum for them to take over the triangular piece of land that is by 5^th Avenue Allotments.

 

1. Trefniadau troi goleuadau Nadolig ymlaen – diweddariad /Organising the switching on of the Christmas Lights – update
2. i) Cyflwynwyd adroddiad cynhwysfawr o’r cyfarfod a gynhaliwyd gyda’r is-bwyllgor goleuadau nos Wener, 6 Tachwedd 2015. Roedd y Pwyllgor wedi penderfynu byddai garlandau di-drydan yn mynd ar 5 polyn rhwng Coffi #1 a Barclays, ac wedyn bob polyn-lamp yn Sgwâr Owain Glyndŵr, ac wedyn gweithio fyny’r Stryd Fawr. Bydd garlandau yn mynd ar 15 polyn-lamp i gyd. Nodwyd fod hyn yn arbrawf da gan bydd 3 math o addurniadau: dim ond rhai di-drydan ar Ffordd y Môr, dim ond goleuadau ar dop y Stryd Fawr, a chymysgedd ar Sgwâr Owain Glyndŵr. PENDERFYNWYD y byddai’r Clerc yn cysylltu gyda Cambrian Trees i ofyn iddo ddarparu’r garlandau fel a ddisgrifir uchod.

PENDERFYNWYD gofyn i Tom Edwards osod y garlandau wrth iddo osod yr addurniadau eraill, ac y bydd Ceredig, o bosib Mark ac o bosib Jeff yn cerdded o gwmpas gyda Tom Edwards i esbonio’r cynllun iddo.

1. i) A comprehensive report was presented from the meeting held with the lights sub-committee on Friday evening, 6 November 2015. The committee decided that garlands will be put on 5 poles between Coffee #1 and Barclays, and then on every lamp-post on Sgwâr Owain Glyndŵr, and then work up Great Darkgate Street. Garlands will be put on 15 lamp-posts in all. It was noted that this is a good experiment since there will be 3 types of decorations: non-electrical only in Terrace Road, only lights at the top of Great DarkGate Street, and a mixture on Sgwâr Owain Glyndŵr. It was RESOLVED that the Clerk would contact Cambrian Trees to ask them to provide the garlands as described above.

It was RESOLVED to ask Mr. Tom Edwards to install the garlands as he erects the other decorations and that Ceredig, possibly Mark and possibly Jeff, would walk around with Mr. Tom Edwards to explain the plan to him.

1. ii) Adroddwyd gan y Cadeirydd y bydd y goeden Nadolig yn cyrraedd nos Lun, 23 Tachwedd. Nodwyd nad oedd gan Menter Aberystwyth ddim cerbyd i gludo Santa i mewn i Sgwâr Owain Glyndŵr. PENDERFYNWYD y byddai’r Cynghorwyr Mair Benjamin a Ceredig Davies yn cyd-gysylltu ar y mater.
2. ii) The Chairman reported that the Christmas tree would arrive on Monday evening, 23 November. It was noted that Menter Aberystwyth did not have a vehicle to transport Santa into Sgwâr Owain Glyndŵr. It was RESOLVED that Councillors Mair Benjamin and Ceredig Davies would co-ordinate this matter.

iii) Darllenodd y Cyngh. Alun Williams boster gan Menter gyda’r holl weithgareddau sy’n digwydd ar y noson. Gofynnwyd a fyddai ceir yn gallu dod i fyny Heol y Wîg? Cytunodd y Cyngh. Williams i wneud ymholiadau. Adroddodd y byddai’r Brifysgol a’r Clwb Beicio yn helpu gyda stiwardio. Anogwyd yr holl Gynghorwyr Tref i ddod i Eglwys Sant Mihangel am 5.30-6.00p.m. ar gyfer y trefniadau stiwardio.

iii) Cllr. Alun Williams read a poster from Menter with all the activities happening on the evening. It was enquired whether cars would be able to travel up Pier Street? Cllr. Williams agreed to make enquiries. He reported that the University and the Cycling Club would help with stewarding. All Town Councillors were encouraged to come to St Michael’s Church at 5.30-6.00pm for the stewarding arrangements.

The Chairman suggested that the Member should refer the matter to the County Council’s Transportation Committee. This was agreed.

Cafwyd adroddiad llawn gan yr Aelod yn dweud bod Coleg Ceredigion a’r Lions Club â diddordeb i wneud hyn hefyd. Darllenwyd yr e-bost gan Mr Morgan (Arriva Cymru)  yn gofyn faint o wirfoddolwyr tebygol oedd gennym mewn llaw i gefnogi’r fenter o osod blodau a gofalu amdanynt gan nad oedd ganddynt hwy gyllideb ar ei gyfer. Cynigiwyd gan y Cyngh. Shewring mai da o beth fyddai cael rhestr o wirfoddolwyr, hysbysu’r cyhoedd o’r meysydd  posib y gallent helpu er mwyn ennyn diddordeb ac i gyfeirio’r mater i’r Pwyllgor Cyllid. PENDERFYNWYD gwneud hyn.

Mr Morgan’s (Arriva Trains Wales) e-mail was read asking how many likely volunteers we had in hand to support the scheme of installing flower pots and taking care of them as they did not have a budget for this. Cllr Shewring proposed that it would be a good thing to have a list of volunteers, notifying the public of the possible fields in which they could help in order to elicit interest and to refer the matter to the Finance Committee. It was RESOLVED to do this.

 

1. Materion yn ymwneud â chyfrifiadur y swyddfa/Matters pertaining to the office Computer

Materion yn codi o’r Cofnodion/Matters arising from the Minutes

Cofnod 5 (i)/Minute 5 (i) Gohebiaeth/Correspondence

O dan y cofnod yma fe wnaeth y Cyngh. Ceredig Davies ddatgan diddordeb.

Nodwyd gan y Cyngh. Alun Williams ei fod ef a’r Cyngh. Mererid Jones newydd fynychu rhan o gyfarfod BID y noson honno ac adroddodd yr hoffai’r grŵp BID gael dau gynrychiolydd o Gyngor y Dref i eistedd ar y grŵp llywio a fyddai’n gallu bod â rôl bositif yn y fenter hon. Os gallai’r Cyngor annog holl fusnesau i sefydlu ‘business Improvement district’ (BID), fe fyddai hyn yn galluogi busnesau lleol i hyrwyddo gwelliannau i’w hamgylchedd busnes  Gall BID ond ei sefydlu ar ôl cael pleidlais ddemocrataidd yn yr ardaloedd BID arfaethedig. Fe fydd busnesau yn pleidleisio ar gynnig sy’n gosod allan rhaglen o wasanaethau a gwelliannau mae BID yn ei gynnig. Pwrpas  rhaglen y BID yw datblygu ac ymateb i’r materion sy’n cael eu nodi gan y busnesau o fewn yr ardal. Os yw’r mwyafrif (51%) yn pleidleisio ‘ie’ i’r BID, ffurfir cwmni ‘heb-elw’ – yn cael ei reoli gan bobl fusnes leol – a fydd yn casglu treth gan yr holl fusnesau cymwys. Bydd y cyfraniadau hynny’n mynd at ariannu gwasanaethau a gwelliannau’r Ardal Gwella Busnes.

PENDERFYNWYD dewis y Cyngh. Alun Williams (y Cyngh. Mererid Jones yn ddirprwy iddo) a’r Cyngh. Brendan Somers yn gynrychiolwyr o’r Cyngor Tref is eistedd ar y grŵp llywio.

Cllr. Ceredig Davies declared an interest under this minute.

Cllr. Alun Williams noted that he and Cllr. Mererid Jones had just attended part of a BID meeting that evening and he reported that the BID group would like to have two representatives from the Town Council to sit on the steering group which could have a positive role in this venture. If the Council could encourage all businesses to establish a ‘business improvement district’ (BID), this would allow local businesses to promote improvements to their business environment. BID could only be established after a democratic ballot in the proposed BID areas. Businesses would be voting on a proposal which set out a programme of services and improvements that BID would be proposing. The purpose of the BID programme was to develop and respond to the issues noted by the businesses within the area. If a majority (51%) votes ‘Yes’ to the BID, a ‘not-for-profit’ company would formed – managed by local business people – which would be collecting tax from all the eligible businesses. Those contributions would go towards funding services and improvements to the Business Improvement District.

It was RESOLVED to choose Cllr. Alun Williams (with Cllr. Mererid Jones acting as his deputy) and Cllr. Brendan Somers as Town Council representatives to sit on the steering group.

Cofnod 5(vi)/Minute 5(vi) Gohebiaeth/Correspondence

Adroddodd y Cyngh. Alun Williams ei fod ef a’r Cyngh. Endaf Edwards yn cael cyfarfod gyda Mr. Mathew Willis, Rheolwr Cyffredinol Ysbyty Bronglais dydd Llun 30 Tachwedd am 4.30p.m. i drafod ymhellach y plac er cof am Dr. Peter Edwards ar diriogaeth yr ysbyty.
