Cafwyd diweddariad llafar gan y Clerc:

·         Roedd problemau’n cael eu profi gyda CThEM, gan nad oedd hawliadau TAW ers mis Hydref wedi’u had-dalu eto. Roedd cyfathrebu’n anodd, ac ni roddwyd unrhyw reswm dros yr oedi hwn. PENDERFYNWYD dirprwyo’r pŵer i’r Clerc godi cwyn ffurfiol gyda CThEM pe bai angen gwneud hynny.

·         Gyda’r holl wariant ar brosiectau grant wedi’i gwblhau ym mis Rhagfyr, roedd gwaith bellach yn mynd rhagddo i hawlio arian grant a chwblhau’r holl dystiolaeth angenrheidiol ac adroddiadau ar brosiectau.

·         Roedd cytundebau ar gyfer gwaith megis torri gwair a gwagio biniau ar fin cael eu hadnewyddu. Byddai dyfynbrisiau’n cael eu gwahodd i’w trafod yn y cyfarfod nesaf.

Full Council Agenda

Cyng. Endaf Edwards:

·         Llwybrau Troed Ael Dinas: Roedd y mater yn cael ei godi gydag Adran Priffyrdd ac Amgylchedd Cyngor Sir Ceredigion. Roedd cyfathrebu’n wael, gan y byddai’r adran yn tueddu i gymryd yn ganiataol y byddai pobl yn gweld gwaith sy’n cael ei gwblhau.

·         Parcio oddi ar y stryd: Roedd cyfarfod y cabinet ddydd Mawrth 21.1.2025 wedi cymeradwyo newidiadau i barcio oddi ar y stryd ar draws Ceredigion. Roedd y sir i’w rhannu’n drefi arfordirol a mewndirol, gyda ffioedd parcio ar gyfer parcio oddi ar y stryd yn cael eu safoni ar gyfer pob un; byddai parcio mewn trefi arfordirol yn ddrytach nag mewn trefi mewndirol.

·         Parcio ar y promenâd: Roedd cyfarfod y cabinet ar 21.1.2025 hefyd wedi cymeradwyo cyflwyno taliadau am barcio ar bromenâd Aberystwyth. Y rhesymeg y tu ôl i hyn oedd cynyddu trosiant cerbydau, gan olygu na fyddai tocynnau tymor neu hawlenni preswylwyr yn addas. Roedd ymgynghoriad ar y cynnig wedi’i gynnwys yng nghylchlythyr Cyng. Endaf Edwards i drigolion ward Rheidol, yn ogystal â’r ymgynghoriad cyhoeddus llawn a gynhaliwyd gan yr awdurdod. Awgrymwyd efallai y byddai cyfarfod cyhoeddus yn briodol.

o   Nodwyd os mai’r rhesymeg yn unig oedd cynyddu trosiant cerbydau, yna gellid cyfeirio canran o’r refeniw a gynhyrchir i’r Cyngor Tref.

Cyng. Shelley Childs:

·         Parcio ar y promenâd: Ni ymgynghorwyd â Phrifysgol Aberystwyth ar gynigion, gan nad oeddent yn cael eu hystyried yn ymgynghorai statudol. Roedd amseriad yr ymgynghoriad cyhoeddus wedi bod yn wael, gyda’r ymgynghoriad yn cau ar 27 Rhagfyr 2024, ond eto roedd 157 o ymatebion wedi dod i law, gyda llawer o wrthwynebiadau.

·         Parcio i breswylwyr/gweithwyr: Derbyniwyd ymateb gan yr Aelod Cabinet Priffyrdd a Gwasanaethau Amgylcheddol, y Cyng. Keith Henson, yn cynghori y dylai’r Cyngor Tref ddyfeisio cynnig ar sut i gyflwyno hawlenni ar gyfer parcio i drigolion neu weithwyr. Cytunwyd i hyn gael ei drafod gan y Pwyllgor Rheolaeth Cyffredinol, fodd bynnag yn gyntaf i’r Cyng. Maldwyn Pryse a Dylan Lewis-Rowlands i gydweithio gyda’r Cyng. Shelley Childs i ddyfeisio cynnig.

·         Roedd potensial i ddigwyddiad beicio cenedlaethol gael ei gynnal yng Ngheredigion.

Cllr. Endaf Edwards:

·         Dinas Terrace footpaths: The matter was being raised with Ceredigion County Council’s Highways & Environment department. Communication was poor, as the department would tend to assume that people would see work that is completed.

·         Off street parking: The cabinet meeting on Tuesday 21.1.2025 had approved changes to off-street parking across Ceredigion. The county was to be divided into coastal and inland towns, with parking fees for off street parking standardised for each; parking in coastal towns would be more expensive than in inland towns.

·         Promenade parking: The cabinet meeting on 21.1.2025 had also approved the introduction of charges for parking on Aberystwyth promenade. The rationale behind this was to increase turnover of vehicles, meaning that season tickets or residents’ permits would not be viable. A consultation on the proposal had been included in Cllr. Endaf Edwards’ newsletter to Rheidol ward residents, as well that the full public consultation held by the authority. It was suggested that a public meeting may be appropriate.

o   It was noted that if the rationale was purely to increase turnover of vehicles, then a percentage of the revenue generated could be directed to the Town Council.

Cllr. Shelley Childs:

·         Promenade parking: Aberystwyth University had not been consulted on proposals, as they were not considered a statutory consultee. The timing of the public consultation had been poor, with the consultation closing on 27 December 2024, yet 157 responses had been received, with many objections.

·         Residents/workers’ parking: A response had been received from the Cabinet Member for Highways & Environmental Services, Cllr. Keith Henson, advising that the Town Council should devise a proposal of how permits for residents or workers’ parking could be introduced. It was agreed for this to be discussed by the General Management Committee, however first for Cllrs. Maldwyn Pryse and Dylan Lewis-Rowlands to work with Cllr. Shelley Childs to devise a proposal.

·         There was potential for a national cycling event to be held in Ceredigion.

·         Roedd angen cyfarfod o’r gweithgor blodau.

·         Roedd angen cywiro’r mynegbost ar ben y Stryd Fawr fel blaenoriaeth.

Agenda Polisi

Policy Agenda

Ystyriwyd Rheoliadau Ariannol newydd, a oedd eisoes wedi’u hystyried gan y Pwyllgor Rheolau Sefydlog a Pholisi.

Nodwyd y byddai’r rheoliadau hyn yn gofyn am awdurdodiad deuol ar gyfer unrhyw daliadau ar-lein, a allai fod yn anymarferol a byddai angen ymrwymiad amser ychwanegol gan Gynghorwyr a benodir yn llofnodwyr awdurdodedig. Y cyngor gan Un Llais Cymru oedd, er ei fod yn anymarferol, bod hyn yn angenrheidiol ac y gallai arwain at archwiliad amodol os na chaiff ei weithredu. Y Clerc i ymchwilio ac ystyried dulliau ymarferol o weithredu, megis penodi llofnodwyr awdurdodedig ychwanegol. I’w drafod gan y Pwyllgor Cyllid.

PENDERFYNWYD mabwysiadu’r Rheoliadau Ariannol newydd.

New Financial Regulations, which had already been considered by the Standing Orders and Policy Committee, were considered.

It was noted that these regulations would require dual authorisation of any online payments, which may be impractical and would require additional time commitment from Councillors who are appointed as authorised signatories. Advice from One Voice Wales was that, although impractical, this was necessary and could result in a qualified audit if not implemented. The Clerk to investigate and consider practical means of implementation, such as appointing additional authorised signatories. To be discussed by Finance Committee.

It was RESOLVED to adopt the new Financial Regulations.

Codwyd cwestiwn ynghylch anfoneb gan Gyngor Sir Ceredigion am gyfraniad at gostau toiledau. Roedd hyn yn dilyn penderfyniad y Cyngor ym mis Chwefror 2024 i ddarparu hyd at £26,500 yn 2024-25 i gefnogi gweithrediad toiled y castell.

PENDERFYNWYD cymeradwyo’r gwariant.

Bardd y Dref: Roedd angen cyfarfod i ystyried a phenodi’r bardd ar gyfer 2025-26.

Roedd adroddiad gan y Cyng. Jeff Smith ar gyfarfod o Gymdeithas Teithwyr Rheilffordd Amwythig Aberystwyth (SARPA) wedi’i ddosbarthu. Roedd hyn yn cynnwys manylion am newidiadau i’r trenau a ddefnyddir ar reilffordd y Cambrian; i’w drafod gan y Pwyllgor Rheolaeth Cyffredinol.
