Dosbarthwyd taflen ar gyfer sylwadau a gwybodaeth am ddiwrnodau agored arfaethedig. Roedd syniadau pellach yn cynnwys:

  • stondin yn Sgwâr Glyndŵr
  • defnyddio fideo a ffotograffau o du mewn yr eglwys (oherwydd mynediad cyhoeddus cyfyngedig)
  • Taflen cwestiwn ac ateb i egluro’r rhesymeg y tu ôl i’r pryniant a’r datblygiad
  • atgoffa pobl bod y Cyngor Tref wedi achub adeiladau’r eglwys rhag cael eu dymchwel.

 

Gofynnwyd i’r Cynghorwyr am unrhyw ychwanegiadau i’r rhestr o randdeiliaid a oedd wedi’u dosbarthu cyn y cyfarfod a byddai’r holiadur drafft yn cael ei ddosbarthu i’w gymeradwyo.

Community engagement in support of Neuadd Gwenfrewi funding bids – Lowri Goss & Amanda Pearson

 

A flyer was distributed for comment and information provided on planned open days.  Further ideas included:

  • a stand in Sgwâr Glyndŵr
  • use of a video and photographs of the inside of the church (due to restricted public access)
  • A question and answer type leaflet to explain the reasoning behind the purchase and development
  • reminding people that the Town Council had saved the church buildings from demolition.

 

Councillors were asked for any additions to the stakeholder list that had been circulated prior to the meeting and the draft questionnaire would be circulated for approval.

 

 
39 Cyllid i Bwyd dros ben Aber – Christopher Woodfield

 

Roedd taflen wedi’i dosbarthu cyn y cyfarfod. Roedd oedi mewn cyllid grant wedi achosi diffyg ariannol dros dro ac roedden nhw’n gofyn am £4,535.79 i gadw’r gwasanaeth prosesu gwastraff bwyd i fynd.

 

Teimlwyd bod y gwasanaeth yn werthfawr a PHENDERFYNWYD darparu’r taliad misol o £1511.93 (o’r gyllideb cyllid brys) am dri mis oni bai eu bod yn derbyn y cyllid grant o fewn yr amserlen honno. Manylion am strwythurau staffio, gweithdrefnau ariannol a blaengynllunio i’w darparu.

 

Roedd pwyntiau trafod y Cynghorwyr yn cynnwys:

  • Gwelliannau i gyfathrebu
  • Mwy o ddefnydd o’r Gymraeg
  • Opsiynau ar gyfer rhannu eiddo
  • Manteision cyngor cynllunio busnes
Aber Food Surplus funding – Heather McClure and Christopher Woodfield

 

A flyer had been circulated prior to the meeting. A delay in grant funding had caused a temporary funding shortfall and they were requesting £4,535.79 to keep the food waste processing service running.

 

It was felt that the service was valuable and it was RESOLVED to provide the monthly payment of £1511.93 (from the emergency funding budget) for three months unless they received the grant funding within that timeframe. Details of staffing structures, financial procedures and forward planning to be provided.

 

Councillor discussion points included:

  • Improvements to communication
  • Greater use of the Welsh language
  • Options for sharing premises
  • Benefits of business planning advice
