Er bod Cyngor y Dref yn llwyr gefnogi’r gwaith o adfer a datblygu’r Hen Goleg, nid oes digon o wybodaeth wedi’i ddarparu yn yr achos hwn i allu gwneud penderfyniad gwybodus. Gan fod gan y Cyngor bryderon ynghylch colli nodweddion hanesyddol byddai’n gwerthfawrogi mwy o wybodaeth.

Y Cyngor i wahodd cynrychiolydd o dîm datblygu’r Brifysgol i roi diweddariad yn y flwyddyn newydd os yn bosib.

Whilst the Town Council fully supports the restoration and development of the Old College not enough information has been provided in this instance to be able to make an informed decision. As the Council has concerns regarding the loss of historic features it would appreciate more information.

The Council to invite a representative from the University development team to provide an update in the new year if possible.

GM agenda

Cyng Alun Williams

• Roedd cyllideb Cyngor Ceredigion gan Lywodraeth Cymru yn uwch na’r disgwyl ond yn dal i olygu bod yn rhaid gwneud arbedion.
• Roedd prinder dŵr yng nghanol y sir oherwydd difrod rhew yn golygu bod angen i Aberystwyth arbed dŵr

Cllr Alun Williams

• Ceredigion Council’s budget from Welsh Government was higher than expected but still meant savings had to be made.
• Water shortages in mid county due to frost damage meant that Aberystwyth needed to conserve water

Byddai cyfarfod arbennig yn cael ei gynnal yn y flwyddyn newydd.

An extraordinary meeting would be held in the new year.
