A220924:Yr Hen Goleg
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.
|
A220924:The Old College
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.
