·         Diolchwyd i’r staff am eu gwaith yn symud y swyddfeydd.

·         Derbyniwyd gwahoddiad i gynghorwyr ymweld â stiwdio newydd Radio Bronglais ar ddydd Mawrth 15 Hydref. Mynychwyr i gadarnhau i’r Clerc erbyn dydd Iau 10 Hydref.

·         Thanks were extended to staff for their work in moving the offices.

·         An invitation had been received for councillors to visit Radio Bronglais’ new studio on Tuesday 15 October. Attendees to confirm to Clerk by Thursday 10 October.

PENDERFYNWYD cynnal cyfarfod agored i Gynghorwyr drafod Neuadd Gwenfrewi yn gyffredinol ar ddydd Sul 13 Hydref 2024 am 2pm. Cyfarfod i’w gynnal yn Nhŷ’r Offeiriad.

It was RESOLVED to hold an open meeting for Councillors to discuss Neuadd Gwenfrewi generally on Sunday 13 October 2024 at 2pm. Meeting to be held at The Presbytery.

PENDERFYNWYD y byddai Tŷ’r offeiriad yn addas yn y tymor byr. Roedd disgwyl i waith i wneud yr hen Eglwys yn addas fel man cyfarfod gael ei gwblhau tua diwedd mis Hydref.

It was RESOLVED that the Presbytery would be suitable in the short term. Works to make the former Church suitable as a meeting space were expected to be complete around the end of October.

PENDERFYNWYD ymateb i’r ymgynghoriad gan godi’r pwyntiau a ganlyn:

·         Yr angen i ystyried llifogydd arfordirol ac afonol gyda’i gilydd.

·         Pwysigrwydd effeithiau neu gyfleoedd economaidd a thwristiaeth y cynigion.

·         Potensial y morglawdd bwriedig i greu cerrynt rhwyg peryglus.

·         Gwrthwynebiad i’r bwriad i gael gwared ar y jeti pren heb ddewis amgen addas, oherwydd:

o   Ei bwysigrwydd fel ail bwynt angori i’r RNLI, pan fo tywydd garw yn eu hatal rhag angori yn yr harbwr.

o   Gwerth amwynder a thwristiaeth y jeti fel tirnod defacto Aberystwyth. Fe’i gwelir yn aml ar ddeunyddiau hyrwyddo ar gyfer y dref.

o   Gwerth masnachol y jeti.

o   Y ffaith ei fod yn cael ei atgyweirio ar hyn o bryd, sy’n golygu y byddai’r deunyddiau’n dal yn gymharol newydd ac mewn cyflwr da.

·         Pwysigrwydd bod yn rhagweithiol wrth gyfathrebu â phreswylwyr ynghylch unrhyw ymyrraeth.

·         Awgrym y gallai morglawdd ar y môr fod yn fwy addas ar gyfer pen gogleddol y promenâd, yn hytrach na chreigiau ar hyd y traeth.

·         Dylid ailfodelu cynigion yn erbyn lefelau môr arfaethedig, yn hytrach na’u seilio ar lefelau presennol y môr.

·         Bod angen eglurhad ar effaith cynigion ar y pwll tywod ger y Pier Brenhinol; derbyniwyd datganiadau gwrthgyferbyniol gan Gyngor Sir Ceredigion ar wahanol achlysuron. Roedd Cynghorwyr wedi cael gwybod y byddai’n cael ei gadw fel pwll tywod, a hefyd y byddai’n cael ei adfer fel pwll padlo.

It was RESOLVED to respond to the consultation, raising the following points:

·         The need to consider coastal and fluvial flooding together.

·         The importance of economic and tourism impacts or opportunities of the proposals.

·         The potential of the proposed breakwater to create a dangerous rip current.

·         Objection to proposed removal of the timber jetty without a suitable alternative, due to:

o   Its importance as a secondary mooring point for the RNLI, when inclement weather prevents them from mooring in the harbour.

o   The jetty’s amenity and torusim value as a defacto Aberystwyth landmark. It is frequently featured on promotional materials for the town.

o   Commercial value of the jetty.

o   The fact that it was currently undergoing repairs, meaning the materials would still be relatively new and in good condition.

·         The importance of being proactive in communicating with residents regarding any disruption.

·         Suggestion that a breakwater at sea may be more suitable for the Northern end of the promenade, rather than rocks along the beach.

·         Proposals should be remodelled against proposed sea levels, rather than based on current sea levels.

·         Clarification was needd on the impact of proposals on the sandpit near the Royal Pier; contradictory statements had been received from Ceredigion County Council on different occasions. Councillors had been advised both that it would be retained as a sandpit, and also that it would be reinstated as a paddling pool.

PENDERFYNWYD ymateb i’r ymgynghoriad gan groesawu’r ymdrechion a wneir i gynyddu’r ddarpariaeth parcio. Fodd bynnag, mynegwyd pryderon ynghylch effaith newidiadau i faes parcio Maes yr Afon ar berygl llifogydd yn yr ardal honno; ar hyn o bryd mae’r maes parcio ar lethr naturiol, gan ddarparu rhywfaint o amddiffynfa naturiol rhag llifogydd. Dylid cwblhau asesiad risg llifogydd llawn, i gynnwys yr effaith ar yr holl strydoedd cyfagos. Byddai’r pwyntiau canlynol hefyd yn cael eu codi:

·         Pam fod maes parcio Coedlan y Parc Isaf yn dal yn ddrytach na meysydd parcio eraill?

·         Pe bai prisiau tocynnau tymor yn gostwng, a fyddai’r rhai sydd eisoes wedi prynu un yn cael ad-daliad?

·         Byddai tocynnau tymor ar gael ar gyfer maes parcio Ffordd y Gogledd ar gyfer trigolion ardal benodol, ond nid oedd map o’r ardal honno wedi ei ddarparu. Pa mor fawr fyddai’r ardal hon?

·         A ellid ystyried trwyddedau parcio ar gyfer cymudwyr a’r rhai sy’n gweithio yn Aberystwyth?

It was RESOLVED to repsond to the consultation, welcoming the efforts being made to increase parking provision. However, concerns were raised over impact of changes to Maes yr Afon car park on flood risk in that area; the car park currently sloped naturally, providing some natural flood defence. A full flood risk assessment should be completed, to include the impact on all nearby streets. The following points would also be raised:

·         Why was Lower Park Avenue car park still more expensive than other car parks?

·         If season ticket prices would be reduced, would those who have already purchased one received a refund?

·         Season tickets would be available for North Road car park for residents of a specified area, however the map of that area had not been provided. How large would this area be?

·         Could parking permits be considered for commuters and those who work in Aberystwyth?

“Er yn bryderus ynghylch y diffyg ymgynghori priodol ynglŷn â’r datblygiad, rydym yn derbyn bod y gwaith o’r diwedd yn dechrau. Mae gwelliannau cadarnhaol i’r dref o’r buddsoddiad hwn yn enwedig gan y dylai’r ddwy bont yn y castell fod yn eu lle erbyn y Nadolig eleni. Wrth symud ymlaen, byddaf yn gwthio’n galed am bartneriaeth gryf gyda’r Cyngor Sir i sicrhau ein bod yn ymgysylltu’n llawn ac yn cydweithio ar y cyfleoedd a ddaw o hyn i wella ein tref ymhellach.”

“Whilst concerned by the lack of proper consultation regarding the development, we accept that the works are finally getting underway. There are positive enhancements to the town from this investment especially since the two bridges in the castle should be in place by Christmas this year. Moving forward, I will be pushing hard for a strong partnership with the County Council to ensure that we are fully engaged and work together on the opportunities that will come out of this to further improve our town.”
