Cyflwynodd Sam Thomas ac Al Frean drosolwg o nodau a sefyllfa bresennol yr orsaf radio. Nid oedd yr orsaf yn weithredol eto ond roeddent yn gobeithio bod yn darlledu ar FM erbyn y flwyddyn newydd. Roedd angen cyllid arnyn nhw i gyrraedd yno. Y nod oedd darparu rhaniad cyfartal rhwng rhaglenni Cymraeg a Saesneg. Byddai straeon cenedlaethol yn cael eu hystyried o safbwynt lleol a byddai lleisiau ac artistiaid lleol yn cael platfform. Roeddent yn gweithio gyda Cered i ennyn diddordeb lleisiau ifanc. Byddai hysbysebu’n rhan hanfodol o refeniw ond roedd hyn yn gyfyngedig gan ei fod yn radio cymunedol.

Sam Thomas and Al Frean presented an overview of the aims and current situation of the radio station. The station was not yet operational but they hoped to be broadcasting on FM by the new year. They needed funding to get there. The aim was to provide an even split between Welsh and English language programming.  National stories would be looked at from a local perspective and local voices and artists would be given a platform. They were working with Cered to engage young voices.  Advertising would be a crucial part of revenue but this was limited being a community radio.

Mae’r Cyngor Tref yn awyddus i gefnogi datblygu busnesau ac mae’n llawn gefnogi’r cais mewn egwyddor ond dylid cael cyngor gan bensaer arbenigol i sicrhau bod y dyluniadau ffenestri newydd yn briodol i’r cyfnod.

The Town Council is keen to support business development and fully supports the application in principle but the expertise of an architect should be sought to ensure that the new window designs are period appropriate.

Ym Mynegai Amddifadedd Cymru roedd Penparcau yn dal i fod yn y 25% uchaf a dylid ystyried hyn wrth osod y gyllideb ar gyfer y flwyddyn ariannol nesaf. Nodwyd bod wardiau Canol a Rheidol hefyd yn dlawd ond ei fod yn fwy amlwg ym Mhenparcau oherwydd ei bod yn ardal breswyl.

Nodwyd hefyd bod yr Hwb wedi cychwyn deiseb i ofyn am offer cwbl newydd yn y parc. Esboniodd y Clerc fod cwmnïau chwarae wedi nodi bod yr offer o ansawdd uchel a dim ond angen ei adnewyddu (cadarnhawyd hyn gan y Cynghorwyr Talat Chaudhri a Mark Strong). Roedd llawer o’r eitemau y gofynnwyd amdanynt yn y ddeiseb eisoes yn cael eu gweithredu fel rhan o’r contract.

In the Welsh Index of Deprivation Penparcau was still in the top 25% and this should be considered when setting the budget for the next financial year. It was noted that Central and Rheidol wards were also poor but that it was more noticeable in Penparcau due to it being a residential area.

It was also noted that the Hub had started a petition to ask for completely new equipment in the park. The Clerk explained that play companies had stated that the equipment was of a high quality and only needed refurbishment (which was confirmed by Cllrs Talat Chaudhri and Mark Strong). Many of the items requested in the petition were already being actioned as part of the contract.

Esboniodd y Cynghorydd Dylan Wilson-Lewis fod yr adroddiad wedi’i gymeradwyo gan Ken Skates a’i fod yn ymddangos ar wefan Llywodraeth Cymru. Roeddent yn mabwysiadu’r syniad o dan y label ‘West Wales Metro’ ac roedd dylunydd metro De Cymru yn cymryd rhan.

PENDERFYNWYD anfon llythyrau (a ysgrifennwyd gan Traws Link Cymru) at Lywodraeth Cymru yn mynegi cefnogaeth i’r adroddiad ac i Traws Link i’w llongyfarch ar gynhyrchu dogfen mor effeithiol a derbyniol.

Cllr Dylan Wilson-Lewis explained that the report had been approved by Ken Skates and featured on the Welsh Government website. They were adopting the idea under the label ‘West Wales Metro’ and the designer for the South Wales metro was involved.

It was RESOLVED to send letters (written by Traws Link Cymru) to WG expressing support for the report and to Traws Link to congratulate them on producing such an effective and well received document.

Er nad oedd yn ofyniad cyfreithiol i gynghorau tref, argymhellodd y dylai cyrff gynnal Asesiadau Effaith ar Hawliau Plant wrth wneud penderfyniadau sy’n effeithio ar blant.

Byddai hon yn eitem ar yr agenda yn y cyfarfod nesaf

Although not a legal requirement for town councils she recommended that bodies should carry out Children’s Rights Impact Assessments when making decisions affecting children.

This would be an agenda item at the next meeting.
