£30,000 y Cyngor Tref ac yn archwilio ffyrdd o wneud arbedion, ond gan gadw cymaint o’r ddarpariaeth a phosibl. Roedd y Cyngor wedi penderfynu blaenoriaethu darpariaeth graidd hy y pamau, ond roedd y Clerc wedi cysylltu gydag Aberystwyth ar y Blaen i weld a fyddent yn ystyried talu’r diffyg o £8000 er mwyn medru darparu’r tybiau i gyd.
Questions relating ONLY to matters in Aberystwyth Council’s remit:
Flowers 2017: Jon Hadlow was working to the Town Council’s £30,000 budget and exploring ways of making savings, but still retaining as much of the provision as possible. Council had decided to prioritise core provision ie the flower beds, but the Clerk had contacted Advancing Aberystwyth to see whether they would consider covering the shortfall of £8000 to be able to provide all the tubs.

Siec 7544: roedd hon yn ddyblyg ac ni ddylid ei thalu.
PENDERFYNWYD derbyn y gwariant gyda’r newidiadau a nodwyd.
Finance – to consider expenditure:
Cheque 7541: Electricity point for Glyndwr Square – as the amount was much higher than the original estimate, the cheque would not be sent and the Clerk should contact CCC to complain about the lack of communication and get a full explanation.

Eglwys Gwenfrewi: Roedd gan y Cyng Lucy Huws bryderon difrifol ynghylch cyflwr yr arteffactau sydd wedi eu gadael yn yr eglwys gan nad oes gan y plwyfolion hawl i gael mynediad i’w cynnal.
Gofynnodd i’r Cyngor Tref ysgrifennu at Swyddog Adeiladau y Cyngor Sir i ofyn iddo orfodi mynediad i’r eglwys gan fod yr Ymddiriedolwyr yn cael eu gweld fel landlord anghyfrifol ac heb gymryd camau i gynnal adeilad yn yr ardal gadwraeth.
CYTUNWYD y dylai’r Cyngor ysgrifennu at Swyddog yr Adeilad.
St Winefride’s: Cllr Lucy Huws had serious concerns regarding the condition of the artefacts left in the church as parishioners were not allowed entry to maintain them.
She requested that the Council write to CCC Building’s Officer to ask for enforced entry as the Trustees are seen as an irresponsible landlord and are not taking steps to maintain a building in the conservation area.
It was AGREED that the Council should write to the Building’s Officer.
