  1. Adborth o’r cwrs cynllunio a gynhaliwyd 7 Medi yng Nghanolfan Rheidol/Feedback from the planning course held on 7 September in Canolfan Rheidol.

Cytunwyd bod y cwrs yn llawn o faterion diddorol gan gynnwys sut y gall ac y dylai’r Cyngor Tref weithredu yn greadigol gyda’u cymunedau a’r Awdurdod Cynllunio Lleol. Yn y dyfodol agos rhagwelir y bydd Llywodraeth Cymru yn cyflwyno Deddf Gynllunio newydd i Gymru er mwyn dod â phrosesau a gweithdrefnau cynllunio yn gyfredol. PENDERFYNWYD ysgrifennu at gynghorau cymuned eraill sydd o fewn cyrraedd agos i Aberystwyth i weld a fyddent â diddordeb sefydlu Fforwm i ddarganfod a fyddai digon o awydd ar gyfer Cynllun Llefydd i.e. ffordd o weithredu a chyfranogi i wybod beth mae’r cymunedau eu eisiau.

It was agreed that the course was full of interesting matters including how the Town Council could and should engage creatively with their communities and their Local Planning Authority. In the foreseable future the Welsh Government is introducing a new Planning Act for Wales to bring planning processes and procedure up to date. It was RESOLVED to write to other community councils that were in close proximity to Aberystwyth to see if they would be interested in setting up a Forum to see if there was significant appetite for a Place Plan i.e. a form of engagement and participation to know what the communities want.

 

  1. Cwrs Cynllunio Ieithyddol/Language Planning Course

Cynigiwyd y byddai’r Cadeirydd yn mynychu un o’r cyrsiau yma sy’n cael eu cynnal gan Brifysgol Aberystwyth ac i gysylltu gyda hwy i wybod pa un fyddai mwyaf defnyddiol. Fe fydd y Cadeirydd yn gwneud adroddiad ysgrifenedig i’r Pwyllgor am yr hyfforddiant. PENDERFYNWYD ar hyn.

It was proposed that the Chair would go on one of the courses run by Aberystwyth University and to contact them to find out which would be the most useful. The Chair will make a written report to the Committee on the training. It was RESOLVED to do this.

  1. Y nifer arfaethedig o dai yn Aberystwyth/Number of proposed new houses in Aberystwyth

Cwestiynwyd y nifer o dai newydd sy’n bwriadau cael eu dynodi yn y Cynllun Datblygu Lleol gan gofio y lleihad yn niferoedd y myfyrwyr a’r datblygiad diweddar yn y lle newydd i fyfyrwyr yn Waunfawr. Yn ychwanegol at hyn mae yna nifer o dai gwag yn y dre. Atgoffwyd yr Aelodau bod y niferoedd a bennir gan  Cyngor Sir Ceredigion yn unol â  chanllawiau gan Llywodraeth Cymru. PENDERFYNWYD ysgrifennu at Cyngor Sir Cerdigion gyda chopi i’w anfon at Llywodraeth Cymru ac hefyd PENDERFYNWYD ysgrifennu llythyr draft at y Gwenidog.

It was questioned on the the number of proposed new houses allocated in the Local Development Plan bearing in mind  the reduction of student numbers and the creation of a new student complex in Waunfawr. In addition there are many empty houses in the town. Members were reminded that the allocation is specified by Ceredigion County Council in accordance with Welsh Government guidelines. It was RESOLVED to write to Ceredigion County Council and a copy sent to the Welsh Government. It was also RESOLVED to write a draft letter to the Minister.

  1. Pryderon ynglŷn â’r rhwydwaith nwy yn y dref/Concerns regarding the gas network in the town

Adroddwyd bod gan rhai trigolion bryderon diogelwch. Teimlwyd y dylid cysylltu gyda gwahanol bartneriaid megis y Brifysgol, Tai Ceredigion a Chyngor Sir Ceredigion ynglŷn â’r broblem yma. PENDERFYNWYD  anfon llythyr at Adran Iechyd Cyhoeddus Cyngor Sir Ceredigion yn nodi Heol y Gogledd, Morfa Mawr a Ffordd y Môr yn arbennig.

It was reported that some residents had some safety concerns.  It was noted that  various partners such as the University, Tai Ceredigon and Ceredigion County Council should be contacted notifying them of this problem. It was RESOLVED to send a letter to Ceredigon County Council’s Public Health Department notifying them of North Road, Queen’s Road and Pier Streeet in particular.

  1. Ystyried Ceisiadau Cynllunio/To consider planning applications

A150238: Ysgol Gynradd Llwyn yr Eos/Llwyn yr Eos Primary School:

Dymchwel adeilad dros-dro sy’n bodoli yn barod ac adeiladu Cyfleuster Flying Start: Dim gwrthwynebiad. Mae Cyngor Tref Aberystywth yn croesawu’r datblygiad ac yn annog mwy o ddarpariaeth fel Flying Start”.

Demolition of existing temporary building and construction of new Flying Start Facility: No objection. Aberystwyth Town Council welcomes this development and encourages more “Flying Start” provision.

 

A150560: Meddygfa’r Llan, Stryd Portland (arddangos arwyddion)/Church Surgery, Portland Street (display of signage):

  1. Nid yw’r arwyddion arfaethedig yn gydnaws â’r adeilad hanesyddol lle perfformiwyd yr emyn ‘Aberystwyth’ gyntaf yn 1879 (tôn sydd erbyn hyn yn fyd enwog). Does dim angen cymaint o arwyddion mawr ac yn benodol does dim angen arwydd yn rhestru’r nwyddau sydd ar gael. Does dim angen goleuadau mewnol o ystyried bod yr arwydd mewn Ardal Cadwraeth. Dylai’r arwyddion fod yn ddwyieithog.

Objection. The proposed signs are not in keeping with this historic building where the hymn ‘Aberystwyth’  was first performed in 1879 (a melody which is now world famous). There is no need for such a large number of signs and in particular there is no need for a sign to list the products available. There is no need for internal illumination considering that the sign is in the Conservation Area. Signage should be bilingual.

 

A150640  & A150641: 23 Stryd Fawr/23 Great Darkgate Street:

Gosod ffrynt newydd, caeadau-rholer, arwyddion ac unedau aer-dymheru. Trafodwyd y rhain fel un cais.

Gosod ffrynt siop newydd: byddai Cyngor Tref Aberystwyth yn croesawu ffrynt siop a fyddai’n adlewyrchu ffryntiau siopau traddodiadol a adeiladwyd fel rhan o’r Ardal Adfywio.

Arwyddion: (gan gynnwys posteri yn y ffenestri ). Hoffai’r Cyngor Tref weld arwyddion dwyieithog.

Shyters-rholer: ym marn Cyngor Tref Aberystwyth, nid yw shyters yn gwella gwedd y dref a hoffai’r Cyngor annog yr ymgeisydd i ail ysytried yr angen am shyters rholer.

Unedau aer-dymheru: Dim gwrthwynebiad.

Materion eraill: o ystyried faint o sbwriel fydd y siop newydd yn debygol o greu, hoffai Cyngor Tref Aberystwyth weld yr ymgeisydd yn gwneud cyfraniad tuag at finiau sbwriel a glanhau’r stryd.

Install new shopfront, roller shutter, signage and air conditioning units.

These were treated as one application.

Shop front: Aberystwyth Town Council would welcome a new shop front that would reflect the more traditional shop fronts that were built as part of the Regeneration Area.

Signage: (including posters in the windows). Aberystwyth Town Council would like to see bilingual signage.

Roller-shutters: in Aberystwyth Town Council’s view shutters do not improve the townscape and the Council would like to encourage the applicant to reconsider the need for roller-shutters.

Air-conditioning units: No objection.

Other issues: Considering how much litter the new shop is likely to create, Aberystwyth Town Council  would like to see the applicant making a contribution to the provision of litter bins and street-cleaning.

PENDERFYNWYD derbyn y Cofnodion./It was RESOLVED to accept the Minutes.

  1. Datgan diddordeb/Declaration of Interest

Eitem10 – Rhandiroedd/Item 10 – Allotments: Cyngh./Cllr. Mark A. Strong.

 

  1. Statws Aberystwyth fel tref ‘Croeso i Gerddwyr’/Aberystwyth as a town for ‘Walkers are Welcome’ status

Nodwyd bod y Cyngor wedi cytuno yn flaenorol i dderbyn y syniad yma. PENDERFYNWYD i fynd ymlaen â hyn drwy gysylltu gyda’r Cerddwyr i’w gwahodd i drafod eu syniadau. Cytunwyd y gellid gwneud hynny gyda cynrychiolydd o’r Cyngor ac yn annibynol o gyfarfod pwyllgor.

It was noted that the Council had agreed previously to take this idea under its umbrella. It was RESOLVED to progress and contact the Ramblers to invite them to discuss what their ideas would be and to do so with representatives of the council and independently from the committee meeting.

 

  1. ‘Potensial Ynni Dŵr yn eich Tref’ (gohebiaeth o’r Cyngor Llawn 27-7-15 oddi wrth ‘Hydropower Consultancy’)/’Hydropwer potential in your Town’ (correspondence from Full Council 27-7-15 by Hydropower Consultancy

Cafwyd trafodaeth ar y pwnc a nodwyd bod Cyngor Sir Ceredigion yn defnyddio ynni gwynt ac ynni haul; efallai nad ynni hydro yw’r opsiwn gorau bob amser. PENDERFYNWYD y dylai’r Cyngor Tref gysylltu gyda’r cwmni a dweud wrthynt na fyddai Cyngor Tref Aberystwyth yn ystyried eu cynnig ar hyn o bryd a’u cynghori i gysylltu gyda Chyngor Sir Ceredigion.

There was a discussion on the subject and it was noted that Ceredigion County Council uses wind and solar power; hydropower may not always be the best option. It was RESOLVED to contact the company and tell them that Aberystwyth Town Council would not consider their offer at present and to advise them to contact Ceredigion County Council.

 

  1. Goleuadau Nadolig/Christmas Lighting

Ysytyriwyd yn llawn y dyfynbris a dderbyniwyd gan  gwmni Goleuadau Nadolig o Lanelli. Cafwyd trafodaeth ar beth fyddai pobl y dref ei eisiau a sut orau y gallai Cyngor y Dref ddefnyddio arian cyhoeddus yn y ffordd mwyaf effeithlon i wneud y dref i edrych yn arbennig ac ar yr un pryd rhoi gwerth am arian. Nodwyd bod costau storio uchel ar eitemau y goleaudau Nadolig ar hyn o bryd. Nodwyd hefyd y byddai’n fwy darbodus i ddefnyddio contractwyr lleol oherwydd y byddent ar gael pe bai eu hangen mewn argyfwng. Rhoddwyd ystyriaeth i’r defnydd o addurniadau di-drydan fel y gwelir mewn gwledydd Ewropeaidd eraill. Cafwyd cynnig y dylid gael costau yn barod ar gyfer y Pwyllgor Cyllid; cael Fforwm agored gyda trigolion Aberystwth drwy roi holiadur ar wefan y Cyngor Tref ac anfon llythyr at y Siambr Fasnach, Clwb Busnes Aberystwyth, Datblygwyr Lagan (Tesco), Spar a Coop a gofyn iddynt am gymorth ariannol. PENDERFYNWYD gweithredu ar hyn.

A thorough consideration was made of the quotation sent from a Christmas Lighting specialist company in Llanelli. A discussion followed on what the townspeople would want and how best could the Town Council use public money in the most effective way to make the town look special and at the same time get value for money. It was noted that there were high-storage costs with the present Christmas lighting items. It was noted also that it would be more prudent to use local contractors because they would be on site if needed in an emergency. Consideration could be given to the use of non-electrical decorations as seen in other European countries. It was RESOLVED to get costings ready for the Finance Committee; to have an open Forum with the citizens of Aberystwyth by putting a questionnaire on the Town Council website and to send a letter to the Chamber of Commerce, Aberystwyth Business Club, Lagan Developments (Tesco), Spar and Coop asking them for financial support. It was RESOLVED to do this.

 

  1. 7. Baw Cŵn/Dog-Fouling

Dangosodd y Cadeirydd daflen addysgol gyda’r penawd “Why Do We Need to Clean Up Dog Mess” a roddir i bob disgybl ym mhob ysgol leol  gan rhai cynghorau cymuned ar draws Cymru. PENDERFYNWYD anfon llythyr at Swyddog o Gyngor Sir Ceredigion i drafod yr mater ac i roi gwybodaeth i’r Cyngor Tref ar beth fedr a beth na fedr y Cyngor Sir ei  wneud yng ngwyneb y diffyg ariannol presennol.

The Chair showed members an educational leaflet entitled “Why Do We Need to Clean Up Dog Mess” that is given out to each pupil in all local schools by some community councils across Wales. It was RESOLVED to get an Officer from Ceredigion County Council to discuss the issue and to inform the Town Council on what Ceredigion County Council can and can’t do due to their present limited resources.

 

  1. Gwahoddiad i Glerc Cyngor Tef Y Trallwng ymweld â Chyngor Tref Aberystwyth  a rhoi cyflwyniad ar sut maent wedi mabwysiadu rhai gwasanaethau/An invitation to Welshpool Town Clerk to visit Aberystwyth Town Council and give a presentation on how they have adopted some services

PENDERFYNWYD y byddai’r Clerc yn trefnu cyfarfod anffurfiol gyda Clerc Cyngor Tref Y Trallwng, Mr Robert Robinson cyn y cyfarfod ar y cyd gyda Pwyllgor Cysylltu Rheilffordd Yr Amwythig/Aberystwyth gyda Phwyllgor Cysylltu Rheilffordd yr Arfordir y Cambrian a gynhelir yn Siambr y Cyngor dydd Gwener,18 Medi, 2015.

It was RESOLVED that the Clerk would arrange an informal meeting with Mr Robert Robinson, Welshpool Town Clerk before the Shrewsbury/Aberystwyth Rail Liaison Committee with the Cambrian Coast Rail Liaison Committee held in Siambr y Cyngor on Friday,18 September.

 

  1. Cynllun gwael mynedfa i’r Orsaf Rheilffordd/The poor design of the entrance to the Railway Station

Nodwyd mai Cyngor Sir Ceredigion sydd berchen ac yn gyfrifol am  y tu allan i Wetherspoon. Rhoddwyd gwybodaeth i’r Aelodau bod Fforwm Anabledd yn mynd i roi cynnig gerbron i waredu y dodrefn stryd ac unrhyw rwystrau eraill sy’n amharu ar bobl â diffyg are eu golwg. Nodwyd yn y fan hon y dylai cyfrifoldeb fod ar Gynghorwyr Tref i gysylltu gyda’u Cynghorydd Sir lleol am help gyda materion o’r fath yma.

It was noted that outside of Wetherspoon is Ceredigion County Council’s responsibility and ownership. Members were informed that the Disability Forum was putting forward a proposal to get rid of street furniture and any obstacles that are not manageable for the visually impaired. At this juncture it was noted that on a matter of this sort the onus would be for all Town Councillors to contact their local County Councillor for help.

 

  1. Rhandiroedd Allotments

Nodwyd y cynhelir cyfarfod Rhandiroedd ar y cyd ar 15 Hydref am 6.30p.m. yn Siambr y Cyngor rhwng cynrychiolwyr o Cyngor Tref Aberystwyth a Phwyllgor Rhandiroedd. Cyfeiriwyd, er diddordeb gan Aelod bod 2015 yn flwyddyn Rhyngwladol y Priddoedd. PENDERFYNWYD y gellid amgau “Cronfa Rhandiroedd” yn y Gyllideb ac i gael dyfynbrisiau ar gyfer cywiro ffens ffiniol yn Rhandir Coedlan 5.

It was noted that a joint Allotment meeting was being held on 15 October at 6.30p.m. in Siambr y Cyngor between representatives of Aberystwyth Town Council and the Allotment Committee. Reference was made for information by a Member that 2015 was the International Year of Soils.

  1. Plac “Gwobr Tref Arbennig”/Great Town Award

Cynigiwyd y dylid gwneud trefniadau i’r dystysgrif sydd wedi ei fframio gael ei rhoi i fyny yn Llyfrgell y Dre. Awgrymwyd y dylid cael copi ohoni cyn i’r Cyngor ei throsglwyddo. PENDERFYNWYD ar hyn.

It was proposed that arrangements be made for the framed certificate to be put up in the Town Library. It was suggested that before the Council handed it over on loan that a copy be made. It was RESOLVED to do this.

 

  1. Arwydd Treftadaeth Penparcau/Penparcau Heritage Sign

Eglurwyd y gellir gosod arwydd disgrifiadol ar yr un patrwm â’r rheiny a welir o gwmpas safleoedd hanesyddol yn Aberystwyth a’u gosod mor agos ac mor ddiogel a phosib i safle gwreiddiol y Tollborth ym Mhenparcau. PENDERFYNWYD i gael costau o’r math yma o arwydd ac i ddod â’r gwaith ysgrifenedig a fydd ar yr arwydd yn ôl i’r Cyngor llawn.

It was explained that a descriptive sign, on the same pattern as those seen around historical sites in Aberystwyth could be installed as close and as safely as possible to the original site of the Tollgate in Penparcau. It was RESOLVED to have costings of such signs and to bring the written material that would go on the sign back to full Council. It was RESOLVED to do this.

Derbyniwyd adroddiad llawn gan y Cyngh. J. Smith yn nodi nifer o ffyrdd y gallai trefniadau diogelwch  tân adeilad y Cyngor – sydd ar les – eu gwella. Derbyniwyd  a PHENDERFYNWYD ar y cynigion canlynol:

 

  • Bod CTA yn cael gweithwyr i mewn i ail-hongian drysau Siambr y Cyngor i agor tu fas – i mewn i’r coridor ac i drwsio’r drws sydd ddim mewn defnydd ar hyn o bryd

Cynnig Masnach Deg Aberystwyth/Aberystwyth Fair Trade Proposal

Cafwyd adroddiad yn cynnwys cefndir Aberystwyth fel tref Masnach Deg ers 1 Mawrth 2005. Pwysleisiwyd y ffaith mai Cyngor Tref Aberystwyth wnaeth basio’r cynnig i wneud y dref yn Dref Masnach Deg. Yn 2016 bydd rhaid ail-gofrestru am y Statws ac mae angen help gweinyddol ar Grŵp Masnach Deg i wneud hyn. Y Cynnig ger bron oedd: ‘bod Cyngor Tref Aberystywth yn cytuno i ymgymryd â’r tasgau sy’n gysylltiedig â’r adnewyddu bob dwy flynedd i gael statws Tref Masnach Deg a hyrwyddo Masnach Deg trwy ei gysylltiadau lleol. Bydd y grŵp Masnach Deg yn parahu i hyrwyddo a bod yn eiriolydd dros Masnach Deg drwy barhau i gynnal digwyddiadau, cysylltiadau ag ysgolion a grwpiau, a chynnal y wefan.’ Cafwyd gwelliant ar y cynnig sef bod y Cyngor Tref yn anfon llythyr o ddiolch at Arnold Smith wrth iddo gamu i lawr o’i swydd fel Ysgrifennydd y Grŵp am ei waith, gan iddo wneud Aberystwyth yn dref Masnach Deg a thrwy hynny Ceredigion yn Sir Fasnach Deg  PENDERFYNWYD ar y cynnig a’r GWELLIANT.

A report was presented containing the background of Aberystwyth as a Fair Trade town since 1 March 2005. The fact that Aberystwyth Town Council passed the proposal to make the town a Fair Trade Town was emphasised. In 2016 we would need to re-register for the Status, and the Fair Trade Group needs administrative assistance to do so. The Proposal put forward was: that Aberystwyth Town Council agrees to undertake tasks associated with the renewal every two years to obtain the Fair Trade Town status and promote Fair Trade through its local connections. The Fair Trade group would continue to promote and advocate Fair Trade by continuing to hold events, connections with schools and groups, and maintaining the website. An amendment to the proposal was made namely that the Town Council sends a letter of thanks to Arnold Smith for his work, as he stands down from his position as Secretary of the Group, as he made Aberystwyth a Fair Trade town and by doing so Ceredigion as a Fair Trade County

It was RESOLVED to pass the proposal and the AMENDMENT.

 

Cofnod 74/Minute 74

Cynnig cydymdeimlad, cefnogaeth a lloches ar gyfer ffoaduriaid o Syria/ Proposal of sympathy, support and shelter for Syrian refugees

Y cynnig ger bron oedd: ‘y dylai Cyngor Tref Aberystwyth uno i ddangos ein cydymdeimlad â’r rhai sy’n ceisio dianc o’u gwledydd oherwydd rhyfel a diffyg gobaith. Mae Cyngor Tref Aberystwyth yn annog llywodraeth San Steffan i gynnig lloches i lawer mwy o bobl o Syria er mwyn diogelu eu bywydau. Mae Aberystywth yn barod i gynnig llefydd diogel i  bobl, ac yn gofyn i Lywodraeth y DU am adnoddau i helpu gwneud hyn.’ Cafwyd adroddiad manwl am y pwyntiau casglu nwyddau gwahanol sydd o gwmpas y dref ac yn wir o gwmpas Ceredigon gyfan ar gyfer ffoaduriaid Syria.

Pwysleiswyd mai ymateb yn ddyngarol i’r argyfwng y mae trigolion Aberystwyth a dylai’r Cyngor Tref ddangos hyn fel corff sy’n cynrychioli’r trigolion eu bod yn cefnogi’r ffoaduriaid. Pwysleisiwyd hefyd mai ymateb dynol ac nid gwleidyddol yw hyn.  Gofynnwyd am elgurder oddi wrth Cyngor Sir Ceredigion, na fyddai cynnig rhoi help llety yn golygu y byddai pobl lleol yn colli eu lle ar y rhestr aros. PENDERFYNWYD derbyn y cynnig. Gofynnodd y Cyngh. Ceredig Davies a’r Cyngh. Brendan Somers i’w henwau gael eu cofnodi fel rhai wnaeth ymatal

The proposal put forward was: that Aberystwyth Town Council should come together to show its sympathy with those trying to escape from their countries due to war and lack of hope. Aberystwyth Town Council encourages the Westminster government to offer shelter to many more people from Syria in order to protect their lives. Aberystwyth is willing to offer safe places for people, and is asking the UK Government to help to do this.’ A detailed report was given about the various goods collection points around the town and indeed around the whole of Ceredigion for Syrian refugees. It was noted that Ceredigion County Council had promised that it would do everything within its power to help. Aberystwyth had already been referred to as a town which could support educationally, socially and through health services. It was emphasised that the residents of Aberystwyth were responding in a humanitarian way and the Town Council should show this as a body which represented the residents that it supports the refugees. During the discussion, it was emphasised also that this is a human not a political response. A request was made for clarity from Ceredigion County Council. that offering to give help with accommodation would not mean that local people would lose their place on the waiting list. It was RESOLVED to accept the proposal. Cllr. Ceredig Davies and Cllr Brendan Somers asked for their names to be recorded as those who abstained.

Cynnig i gynhyrchu cofnodion dwyieithog/ Proposal to produce bilingual minutes

Cafwyd adroddiad manwl o’r cynnig a chafwyd trafodaeth o’r pwysigrwydd o weinyddu drwy’r Gymraeg sy’n dangos neges glir bod y Gymraeg yn rhywbeth manteisiol sydd yn cyfoethogi’r dref.  Esboniwyd y sefyllfa ar hyn o bryd, sef nad oes pleidlais ar fersiwn Cymraeg o’r cofnodion. Mae’n bosib felly i rywbeth cael ei drosi mewn modd sydd ddim yn cyfleu beth ddigwyddodd yn y cyfarfod. Ond mae’r cofnodion Cymraeg i fod yn ddogfen gyfreithiol sydd wedi cael eu cytuno gan y Cynghorwyr. Petai’r cofnodion yn cael eu cylchredeg ymysg y Cynghorwyr cyn eu mabwysiadu, bydd modd cadarnhau’r ddwy fersiwn o’r cofnodion. Eglurwyd bod  Cyngor Gwynedd yn gweithredu’n fewnol drwy gyfrwng y Gymraeg, ac o’r herwydd wedi chwarae rhan bwysig iawn yn sicrhau bod llai o gwymp yn y canran o siaradwyr Cymraeg yng Ngwynedd. Mae llawer o gynghorau cymuned, yn gweithredu’n fewnol yn y Gymraeg, a chyfieithu i’r Saesneg ar gyfer pobl sydd ddim yn medru’r Gymraeg. Yn diweddar, mae Cyngor Sir Caerfyrddin wedi mabwysidu strategaeth gwmpasog i symud tuag at weithredu’n fewnol yn Gymraeg, fel rhan o gynllun i atal dirywiad y Gymraeg yn y sir. Bu gweithgor o gynghorwyr yn treulio tua blwyddyn yn ysgrifennu dogfen o’r enw “Y Gymraeg yn Sir Gâr”.

Dylai cynhyrchu cofnodion drwy’r Gymraeg yn fewnol ac wedyn eu danfon at gyfieithydd fod yr un mor ymarferol â’r system bresennol. Serch hynny, os nad ydynt ar gael mewn Saesneg mewn da bryd, gall hyn peri rhwystr. Hefyd, na fyddai’r cyfieithydd yn ymwybodol o’r cyd-destun a gallai hynny peri dryswch.

Argymhellion:

  • Cynhyrchu’r cofnodion yn Gymraeg yn gyntaf
  • Danfon cofnodion drafft at y cynghorwyr yn y ddwy iaith ar yr amseroedd a nodir yn y Rheolau Sefydlog

Gwneir hyn drwy opsiwn A neu opsiwn B (Cyfarfod i drafod)

Opsiwn A: danfonir y cofnodion Cymraeg at gyfieithydd allanol i’w cyfieithu i’r Saesneg, gan bwysleisio eu bod yn cyrraedd nôl atom erbyn 9 a.m, dydd Mercher cyn cyfarfod y Cyngor Llawn.

Opsiwn B: Cynhyrchu  cyfieithiad Saesneg o’r cofnodion yn fewnol. Mae’r Cyngor yn gofyn i’r panel staffio ymgynghori â’r Clerc i drafod ymarferoldeb hyn, ac os oes angen cynyddu oriau gwaith y Clerc ar sail y llwyth gwaith ychwanegol (ac os felly, gan faint).

PENDERFYNWYD i gytuno ar opsiwn A.

A detailed report was given of the proposal and a discussion ensued regarding the importance of administration through the medium of Welsh which shows a clear message that the Welsh language is an advantageous thing which enriches the town. The present situation was explained, namely that there is not a vote on the Welsh version of the minutes. It is therefore possible for something to be translated in a way which does not convey what happened at the meeting. However, the Welsh minutes is meant to be a legal document which has been agreed by the Councillors. Should the minutes be circulated among the Councillors before they are adopted, it would be possible to confirm both versions of the minutes. It was explained that Gwynedd Council operates internally through the medium of Welsh, and has played a very important part in ensuring that there is a slower decline in the percentage of Welsh-speakers in Gwynedd. Numerous community councils operate internally in Welsh and provide English translation for people who do not speak Welsh. Recently, Carmarthenshire County Council has adopted an inclusive strategy to move towards operating internally through the medium of Welsh, as part of a scheme to prevent the decline of the Welsh language in the county. A working group of councillors has spent about a year writing a document called “The Welsh Language in Carmarthenshire”.

Producing a Welsh version of the minutes internally and then sending them to a translator should be as practical as the current system. However, if they are not available in English in good time, this could cause difficulties. Also, the translator may not be aware of the context which could cause confusion.

Recommendations:

  • Minutes will be produced in Welsh first
  • Draft minutes will be sent to the councillors in both languages at the times noted in the Standing Orders.

This will be done via option A or option B (Meeting to discuss)

Option A: the Welsh minutes will be sent to an external translator to be translated into English, stressing that they should be sent back to us by 9 a.m on the Wednesday before the Full Council.

Option B: an English translation of the minutes will be produced internally. The Council asks the staffing panel to consult with the Clerk on the practicality of this, and whether the Clerk’s hours of work need to be increased based on the additional work load (and if so, by how many).

It was RESOLVED to agree on Option A.
