The Town Council supports the disability and accessibility adaptations. However, it is unable to consider the application due to there being no listed building heritage statement. A complete application to be requested.

Cais am gyllid i dalu am ofod swyddfa i’w rentu yn wythnosol yng Nghanolfan Fethodistaidd St Paul i ddarparu sesiynau galw heibio. Nodwyd bod cyllid eisoes wedi’i ddarparu yn gynharach yn y flwyddyn. Byddid yn cysylltu â St Paul’s ynghylch costau rhentu.

PENDERFYNWYD rhoi pwerau dirprwyedig i’r Pwyllgor Cyllid wneud penderfyniad.

A request for funding to cover a weekly rented office space at St Paul’s Methodist Centre to provide drop-in sessions. It was noted that funding had already been provided earlier in the year. St Paul’s would be contacted regarding rental costs.

It was RESOLVED to give Finance Committee delegated powers to make a decision.

Finance Agenda

PENDERFYNWYD darparu cefnogaeth o £200 ar yr amod bod unrhyw ddeunyddiau (baneri ayyb) yn ddwyieithog, gyda’r Gymraeg yn cael ei blaenoriaethu, a ‘Noddir gan Gyngor Tref Aberystwyth’ yn cael ei arddangos.

Byddai’r trefnwyr yn cael eu hatgoffa bod grantiau’r Cyngor yn cael eu dyfarnu’n flynyddol ym mis Ebrill. Roedd eithriad yn cael ei wneud oherwydd amseriad y ras a’r ffaith nad oedd wedi’i chynnal ers 2019 (Covid).

It was RESOLVED to provide £200 support on the condition that any materials (flags etc.) were bilingual, with Welsh prioritised, and ‘Sponsored by Aberystwyth Town Council’ displayed.

The organisers would be reminded that the Council’s grants are awarded annually in April. An exception was being made due to the timing of the race and the fact that it had not been held since 2019 (Covid).

Nid oedd EGO bellach yn cynhyrchu fersiwn argraffedig ac roedd y Cyngor wedi cael cynnig dwy erthygl ddigidol yn lle’r un erthygl brintiedig a oedd yn weddill. Cymeradwywyd hyn.

EGO was no longer producing a printed version and the Council had been offered two digital articles instead of the one printed article outstanding. This was approved.

I’w drafod yng nghyfarfod nesaf y Pwyllgor Rheoli Cyffredinol.

To be discussed at the next General Management Committee meeting.

GM Agenda

PENDERFYNWYD cymeradwyo’r cynnig, gyda mân newidiadau i’r geiriad, ac ysgrifennu at Gyngor Ceredigion yn mynegi pryderon ynghylch sylwadau diweddar ynglŷn â dymchwel y jeti, ac yn annog Ceredigion i atgyweirio a chynnal a chadw’r jeti, tra hefyd yn cynnig cymorth o ran chwilio am gyllid.

It was RESOLVED to approve the motion, with minor amendments to the wording, and to write to Ceredigion Council expressing concerns about recent comments regarding the demolition of the jetty, and urging Ceredigion to repair and maintain the jetty, whilst also offering support in seeking funding.

PENDERFYNWYD mynd at Gapel Bethel a Chyngor Ceredigion i holi am y posibilrwydd o blannu coed stryd yn Stryd y Popty ac ar dir y Capel.

It was RESOLVED to approach Bethel Chapel and Ceredigion Council to enquire about the possibility of planting street trees in Stryd y Popty and the Chapel grounds.

Byddai cyfarfod arbennig yn cael ei gynnal i drafod y tendrau cyn cyfarfod y Pwyllgor Cynllunio nesaf.

An extraordinary meeting would be held to discuss the tenders ahead of the next Planning Committee meeting.
