·         Diolchwyd i’r Cyng. Carl Worrall am ei waith yn trefnu’r cyflwyniad gan y Comisiwn Brenhinol.

·         Thanks were extended to all involved with the ‘Town Tidy’ held on Saturday 23.3.2024. The event was successful and well attended, with 25-30 attendees.

·         Thanks were extended to Cllr. Carl Worrall for his work in arranging the presentation from the Royal Commission.

Dosbarthwyd adroddiad ysgrifenedig trwy e-bost. Diolchwyd i’r Maer am ei holl waith.

A written report was circulated via email. The Mayor was thanked for all of her work.

Cafwyd cyflwyniad gan gynrychiolwyr o’r Comisiwn Brenhinol ar brosiect archeolegol Pendinas. Roedd y prosiect yn gweithio’n agos gyda’r gymuned ym Mhenparcau ac wedi nodi angen am well arwyddion ac ymwybyddiaeth ar gyfer y fryngaer.

Awgrymwyd efallai y gallai’r Cyngor Tref ariannu rhai mynegbyst neu arwyddion eraill, ac y byddai hyn yn cael ei ymchwilio ymhellach.

Diolchwyd i gynrychiolwyr y Comisiwn Brenhinol am eu hamser a’u gwaith.

A presentation was received by representatives from the Royal Commission on the Pendinas archaeological project. The project was working closely with the community in Penparcau and had identified a need for better signage and awareness for the hillfort.

It was suggested that perhaps the Town Council could fund some fingerposts or other signage, and this would be investigated further.

Representatives from the Royal Commission were thanked for their time and work.

PENDERFYNWYD cymeradwyo’r cofnodion gyda’r newidiadau a ganlyn:

263. Ymgynghoriad AS: Effaith newid cyfyngiadau cyflymder 20mya

·         Ffordd Penglais: newid o 40mya i 20mya yn rhy sydyn; Mae 40mya yn rhy gyflym wrth fynd i lawr yr allt, oherwydd y traffig troed sylweddol o’r brifysgol, yr ysbyty a’r llyfrgell genedlaethol. Byddai 30mya yn fwy addas.

It was RESOLVED to approve the minutes, with the following amendment:

263. MS consultation: Effects of the 20mph speed limit changes:

·         Penglais Hill: changes from 40mph to 20mph too suddenly; 40mph is too fast when going downhill, due to the significant foot traffic from the university, hospital & national library. 30mph would be more appropriate.

264. Toriadau Llywodraeth Cymru – Llyfrgell Genedlaethol: Roedd llythyr wedi’i anfon ac ar fin cael ei drafod gan Bwyllgor Diwylliant, Cyfathrebu, y Gymraeg, Chwaraeon a Chysylltiadau Rhyngwladol Llywodraeth Cymru.

264. Welsh Government cuts – National Library: A letter had been sent and was due to be discussed by the Welsh Government’s Culture, Communications, Welsh Language, Sport, and International Relations Committee.

PENDERFYNWYD cymeradwyo’r cyfrifon.

Gyda’r flwyddyn ariannol yn cau, byddai’r Pwyllgor Cyllid yn adolygu gwariant gwirioneddol yn erbyn gwariant a gyllidebwyd.

Pleidleisiodd Cyng. Dylan Lewis-Rowlands yn erbyn hyn.

It was RESOLVED to approve the accounts.

With the financial year closing, the Finance Committee would review actual vs budgeted expenditure.

Cllr. Dylan Lewis-Rowlands voted against this.

Finance Agenda

·         Roedd Cyngor Cymuned Llanbadarn wedi derbyn arian i osod arwyddion hanesyddol ar draws y pentref; byddid yn ymchwilio i weld a allai’r Cyngor Tref wneud yr un peth.

·         Codwyd cwestiynau ynglŷn â defnydd adeilad banc Barclays yn y dyfodol, ac a allai’r Cyngor Tref wneud unrhyw ddefnydd ohono. I’w drafod ymhellach gan y Pwyllgor Rheoli Cyffredinol.

Gadawodd y Cyng. Owain Hughes y cyfarfod

·         Llanbadarn Community Council had received funding to install historic signs throughout the village; it would be investigated if the Town Council could do te same.

·         Questions were raised over the future use of the Barclays bank buidling, and whether the Town Council could make any use of it. To be discussed further by the General Management Committee.

Cllr. Owain Hughes left the meeting

DIM GWRTHWYNEBIAD gan y Cyngor Tref ac mae’n falch o weld y ddarpariaeth o flychau adar; gydag ystyriaethau ecolegol o’r fath, byddai’n dda gweld ystyriaeth i baneli solar hefyd.

Dylid gosod amod i atal ei ddefnyddio fel llety gwyliau.

The Town Council has NO OBJECTION and is pleased to see the provision of bird boxes; with such ecological considerations, it would be good to see consideration for solar panels also.

A condition should be placed to prevent it being used as holiday accommodation.

Respond

DIM GWRTHWYNEBIAD gan y Cyngor Tref cyn belled a bod y fflatiau yn rhai preswyl; dylid gosod amod i’w hatal rhag cael eu defnyddio fel llety gwyliau. Dylid ystyried mynediad trigolion i’r storfa wastraff yn yr iard gefn, a sicrhau nad yw’r datblygiad yn effeithio’n negyddol ar hyfywedd masnachol y gofod siop ar y llawr gwaelod.

The Town Council has NO OBJECTION so long as the flats are residential; a condition should be placed to prevent them being used as holiday accommodation. Consideration should be given to residents’ access to the waste storage in the rear yard, and to ensuring that development does not negatively impact the commercial viability of the ground floor shop space.

Respond

DIM GWRTHWYNEBIAD gan y Cyngor Tref ac mae’n croesawu’r ymdrechion i fod yn garbon niwtral.

The Town Council has NO OBJECTION and welcomes the efforts towards carbon neutrality.

Dosbarthwyd adroddiad gan Cyng. Jeff Smith ar Gymdeithas Teithwyr Rheilffordd Amwythig Aberystwyth (SARPA).

A report from Cllr. Jeff Smith on the Shrewsbury Aberystwyth Rail Passengers Association (SARPA) was circulated.

Cyng. Alun Williams

·         Roedd Cyngor Sir Ceredigion mewn trafodaethau gyda pherchnogion y Belle Vue Royal Hotel er mwyn dod â’r adeilad yn ôl i ddefnydd. Roedd cynlluniau wedi’u cynhyrchu ond nid oeddent yn bodloni gofynion cynllunio ac adeilad rhestredig CADW, felly roedd angen trafodaeth bellach.

·         Roedd gwaith atgyweirio ar y jeti pren ar bromenâd y De, ger yr harbwr, yn mynd yn ei flaen.

Cyng. Carl Worrall

·         Yn dilyn cyflwyniad y Comisiwn Brenhinol, roedd ymweliad safle ar gyfer Cynghorwyr yn cael ei drefnu.

Cllr. Alun Williams

·         Ceredigion County Council was in discussions with the owners of the Belle Vue Royal Hotel in order to bring the building back into use. Plans had been produced but did not meet planning and CADW listed building requirements, so further negotiation was needed.

·         Repair works to the wooden jetty on the South promenade, near the harbour, were going ahead.

Cllr. Carl Worrall

·         Following the Royal Commission’s presentation, a site visit for Councillors was being arranged.

Cynhaliwyd ymweliad safle ar gyfer Cynghorwyr ar 20.3.2024, ond ychydig iawn oedd yn gallu mynychu, felly roedd fideo o’r cynnydd wedi’i recordio.

A site visit for Councillors was held on 20.3.2024, however very few were able to attend, so a video of progess had been recorded.

Dosbarthwyd canllaw brandio tref a gomisiynwyd gan Gyngor Sir Ceredigion. PENDERFYNWYD gwrthwynebu’n gryf y lliwiau a ddefnyddir ar gyfer Aberystwyth (coch a phinc); mae gan Aberystwyth frand a lliwiau sefydledig eisoes (glas ac aur), a byddai’n wrthgynhyrchiol newid hyn.

Nid oedd cymaint o wrthwynebiad i eiriad hunaniaeth Aberystwyth, ond byddai angen ei ddiwygio, mewn cydweithrediad â’r Cyngor Tref.

Byddai ymateb yn cael ei anfon yn amlinellu siom y Cyngor Tref ac na fyddai’n defnyddio’r brandio fel y’i darparwyd yn ei gyflwr presennol.

A town branding guide commissioned by Ceredigion County Council was circulated. It was RESOLVED to strongly object to the colours used for Aberystwyth (red & pink); Aberystwyth already has an established brand and colours (blue & gold), and it would be counter-productive to change this.

The wording of Aberystwyth’s identity was less strongly opposed, but would need to be revised, in collaboration with the Town Council.

A response would be sent, outlining the Town Council’s disappointment and that it would not use the branding as provided in its current state.

PENDERFYNWYD gwahardd y wasg a’r cyhoedd ar gyfer yr eitem hon, oherwydd natur gyfrinachol y busnes a drafodwyd.

It was RESOLVED to exclude the press and public for this item, due to the confidential nature of business discussed.

Yn dilyn cyfweliadau ar 22.3.2024, PENDERFYNWYD yn unfrydol penodi Clerc y Dref newydd, Will Rowlands.

PENDERFYNWYD yn unfrydol i gyflogi cymhorthydd amgylcheddol y Cyngor Tref yn uniongyrchol yn hytrach na thrwy asiantaeth gyflogi fel yn bresennol. Roedd hyn yn cynrychioli arbediad o tua £5,000 y flwyddyn mewn ffioedd asiantaeth a byddai’n cynnig buddion i’r gweithiwr trwy bensiwn, gwyliau blynyddol ayyb.

Following interviews on 22.3.2024, it was unanimously RESOLVED to appoint a new Town Clerk, Will Rowlands.

It was unanimously RESOLVED to employ the Town Council’s environmental assistant directly, rather than through an employment agency as present. This represented a saving of around £5,000 p.a. in agency fees and would offer benefits to the employee through pension, annual leave etc.
