26 Cyflwyniad gan Anne Uruska a Laurie Wright

 

Roedd y cyflwyniad yn ymdrin â materion megis diffyg tryloywder gan yr Esgob, catalog o anwireddau yn y Crynodeb Gweithredol ac anwybyddu dymuniadau’r plwyfolion yn llwyr. Roedd cyflwr yr adeilad yn dda o ystyried ei fod wedi’i esgeuluso yn ystod y blynyddoedd diweddar.

Presentation by Anne Uruska and Laurie Wright

 

The presentation covered issues such as the lack of transparency by the Bishop, the catalogue of falsehoods in the Executive Summary and the total disregard for the wishes of the parishioners.  The condition of the building was good considering its neglect over recent years.

27 Santes Gwenfrewi

 

Cynigiodd Cyng Lucy Huws bod y Cyngor Tref yn ysgrifennu at Swyddfa Esgobaethol Mynyw i:

 

  • Ofyn pam nad oeddynt wedi manteisio ar gynnig gan blwyfolyn i gael arolwg strwythurol annibynnol
  • Gofyn i Adrian Murphy ddod i Aberystwyth i gwrdd â phlwyfolion a gofyn pam nad yw wedi gwneud hynny o’r blaen.
  • Datgan yn glir cymaint mae’r Cyngor a phobl Aberystwyth yn gwerthfawrogi’r adeilad

 

Cafodd y cynnig ei gario a PHENDERFYNWYD y byddai’r Clerc yn ysgrifennu at y Swyddfa Esgobaethol:

 

St Winefride’s

 

Cllr Lucy Huws proposed that the Town Council write to the Menevia Diocesan Office to:

 

  • Ask why they had not taken up the offer by a parishioner to have an independent structural survey
  • Ask Adrian Murphy, to come to Aberystwyth to meet parishioners and ask why he had not done so before.
  • Clearly state how much the Council and people of Aberystwyth value the building

 

The proposal was carried and it was RESOLVED that the Clerk write to the Diocesan Office.

30 Materion yn codi o’r Cofnodion:

 

Cofnod 20: Baner Las

  • Roedd safonau ansawdd dŵr yn rhan o’r Undeb Ewropeaidd. Oni bai bod y DU yn mabwysiadu’r DU mae’n bosibl na fydd Cymru yn cymryd rhan yn y dyfodol.

 

  • Eglurodd Cyng Ceredig Davies nad oedd Traeth y De wedi colli’r Faner Las oherwydd ni ymgeisiwyd amdani oherwydd effaith y ddwy afon yn llifo i’r harbwr. Dim ond am Wobr Glan Môr yr oedd y Cyngor wedi ymgeisio amdani.

 

Cofnod 21.1: Arwydd Felin y Môr

  • Dylid ei gyfeirio at Bwyllgor Rheolaeth Gyffredinol

 

Matters arising from the Minutes:

  • Cllr Ceredig Davies clarified that South Beach had not lost the Blue Flag as it had never been applied for due to the effect of the two rivers flowing into the harbour. The Council had only applied for the Seaside Award.

  • Should be referred to General Management

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

 

Cyng Alun Williams:

  • Refferendwm yr Undeb Ewropeaidd: roedd hi’n bwysig bod dinasyddion yr Undeb Ewropeaidd yn Aberystwyth yn gwybod sut roedd yr ardal leol wedi pleidleisio. O sampl fawr amcangyfrifwyd bod y pleidleisiau i aros yn yr Undeb Ewropeaidd wedi bod fel a ganlyn:
    • Penparcau 60%
    • Rheidol 66%
    • Gogledd, Canol a Bronglais dros 75% gyda Bronglais dros 80%

Cyng Ceredig Davies:

  • Roedd perygl y gallai argymhellion Price Waterhouse Coopers yn ymwneud â glanhau traethau a strydoedd effeithio ar y Cyngor Tref. Nid oes sgwrs wedi’i chynnal gyda’r Cyngor Tref

 

Gofynnodd Cyng Aled Davies am y Parcio a Theithio a phwysleisiodd ei bwysigrwydd i Aberystwyth. Roedd Cyng Alun Williams yn cyflwyno adroddiad i’r Cabinet y diwrnod wedyn felly ni allai gynnig sylwadau. Dywedodd Cyng Ceredig Davies y dylai’r adroddiad fod yn eitem agenda ar y Pwyllgor Ymgynghorol Rheoli Traffig.

 

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

 

 

Cllr Alun Williams:

  • EU Referendum: it was important that EU nationals in Aberystwyth knew how the locality had voted. From a large sample it was estimated that voting to remain in the EU had been as follows:
    • Penparcau 60%
    • Rheidol 66%
    • North, Centre and Bronglais over 75% with Bronglais being over 80%

An event on the prom was being held on Saturday at 4pm to show solidarity

  • Aber First Awards – Menter Aberystwyth: annual awards were being held in the Morlan on Friday with an open invitation to councillors.

  • Ras yr Iaith meeting on Wednesday evening in the Cwps at 7.30pm

Cllr Aled Davies asked about the Park and Ride and emphasised its importance to Aberystwyth. Cllr Alun Williams was presenting a report to Cabinet the following day so could not comment.  Cllr Ceredig Davies said the report should be an agenda item on the Traffic Management Consultative Committee.

5 Arwyddion – cŵn:

Nid oedd arwyddion arbennig ar gyfer y Labyrinth wedi cael eu gwneud eto ond roedd y Clerc wedi cysylltu gyda’r Warden cŵn yn y cyfamser gan fod problem ger y rhandiroedd hefyd. Nodwyd y byddai gwaith y PCSOs, o Fis Ionawr 2017, yn cynnwys stopio pobl gyda chŵn i sichau fod ganddynt fagiau.

Signage – dogs:

Bespoke signage for the Labyrinth had not yet been progressed but the Clerk had contacted the Dog Warden as an interim measure as there was also a problem near the allotments. In terms of enforcement, it was noted that from January 2017 PCSO’s remit would include stopping people with dogs to check that they had bags.

 

 
6 Rhandiroedd:

Codwyd materion i’w hystyried mewn diweddariad ysgrifenedig:

 

  • Y broses terfyn ar gyfer tenantiad sy’n torri’r cytundeb:

  • Cyflenwad dŵr i Gaeffynnon:

I’w drafod gan y Pwyllgor Cyllid

  • Japanese Knotweed:

Aros am ymateb gan Jon Hadlow

  • Lladd gwair rheolaidd yn y cyffiniau gan gynnwys y triongl ger y fynedfa:

I’w ystyried gan y Pwyllgor Cyllid fel rhan o’r rhestr gwaith.

 

 

Mae’r coed ar gyrion y rhandiroedd yn broblem yn ogystal â’r coed ar gyrion parc Ffordd y Gogledd. Dylai’r arolwg Radar gael ei wneud cyn gynted â phosib.

Allotments:

A written update highlighted some issues for consideration:

 

  • Termination procedure for tenants in breach of agreement:

Three letters should be sent over a period of three months.
