33: Cllrs Endaf Edwards and Mari Turner represented the Town Council on the Old College Project Board

• Darparodd y Maer adroddiad gweithgaredd byr. Ei elusen am y flwyddyn yw Canolfan Adnoddau Iechyd Meddwl Gorwelion.
• Profedigaeth: bu farw mab y Cynghorydd Brendan Somers a Glynis Somers yn ddiweddar. Byddai’r Maer a’r Dirprwy Faer yn cysylltu â nhw.
• Diolchodd y Cynghorydd Lucy Huws i’r Brifysgol am anrhydeddu cyfraniad ei diweddar ŵr gyda mainc goffa.

• The Mayor provided a brief activity report. His charity for the year is Gorwelion Mental Health Resource Centre.
• Bereavement: Cllr Brendan Somers and Glynis Somers’s son had recently passed away. The Mayor and Deputy Mayor would contact them.
• Cllr Lucy Huws thanked the University for honouring her late husband’s contribution with a memorial bench.

Rhoddodd Susanna Kenyon drosolwg o’r cais ac yn benodol yr angen am ofod mewn adeilad eu hunain er mwyn annog cyfranogiad cymunedol. Cynlluniwyd gweithgareddau awyr agored hefyd i blant a rhieni i annog ymgysylltiad â natur.

PENDERFYNWYD rhoi iddynt y dyraniad grant y cytunwyd arno o £1000.

Susanna Kenyon provided an overview of the application and in particular the need for their own building space in order to encourage community involvement.  Outdoor activities were also planned for children and parents to encourage engagement with nature.

It was RESOLVED to give them the agreed grant allocation of £1000.

Rhoddodd Heather McClure drosolwg o ddigwyddiad diwylliannol canol y dref i annog cysylltiadau rhwng cymunedau gwledig ac Aberystwyth, gyda chyfraniadau ychwanegol gan Sian Stacey ac Alice Briggs. Roeddent yn chwilio am arian cyfatebol ar gyfer grant Cyngor Celfyddydau Cymru o £31,700 a fyddai’n arwain o bosibl at brosiect dilynol o ddwy flynedd.

PENDERFYNWYD rhoi’r swm o £2975 iddynt a ofynnwyd amdano. Byddai’r arian yn dod o’r gyllideb digwyddiadau.

Heather McClure provided an overview of the town centre cultural event to encourage connections between rural communities and Aberystwyth, with additional contributions from Sian Stacey and Alice Briggs. They were looking for match-funding for an Arts Council of Wales grant of £31,700 which would lead potentially to a subsequent two-year project.

It was RESOLVED to give them the sum of £2975 as requested. The money would come from the events budget.

A210459: Hen Goleg

Mae’r Cyngor Tref yn llwyr gefnogi datblygiad yr Hen Goleg ond dylid nodi bod yr Hen Goleg yn adeilad unigryw rhestredig Gradd 1 o bwysigrwydd hanesyddol ac y dylid ei ddiogelu yn yr un modd ag adeiladau tebyg mewn mannau eraill fel Coleg Iesu, Rhydychen.

Llongyfarchodd cynghorwyr y Brifysgol ar eu sylw i fanylion ynglŷn ag atgynhyrchu’r lliwiau paent gwreiddiol ond codwyd amryw bryderon hefyd:

1. Fflamadwyedd deunyddiau yn ystod y broses adeiladu. Dylid cymryd gofal i osgoi trychineb tebyg i’r un a ddigwyddodd i Ysgol Gelf Glasgow.
2. Tynnu’r grisiau troellog. Dyma un o brif elfennau dylunio’r adeilad gwreiddiol a dylid ystyried yn ofalus cyn ei symud.
3. Mae dymchwel cymaint o’r waliau gwreiddiol yn ymddangos yn ormodol
4. Defnyddio gwydr yn lle drysau traddodiadol

Roedd angen mwy o drafod a byddai cyfarfod anffurfiol yn cael ei gynnal i edrych ymhellach ar y manylion.

A210459: Old College

The Town Council fully support the development of the Old College but it should be noted that the Old College is a Grade 1 listed building of historic importance and should be safeguarded in the same way as similar buildings elsewhere such as Jesus College, Oxford.

Councillors congratulated the University on their attention to detail regarding replication of the original paint colours but also raised various concerns:

1. Flammability of materials during the build process. Care should be taken to avoid a similar disaster to the one which befell the Glasgow School of Art.
2. Removal of the spiral staircases. These are one of the main design elements of the original building and careful consideration should be given before removal.
3. The knocking through of original walls seems excessive
4. Use of glass instead of traditional doors

More discussion was needed and an informal meeting would be convened to look further at the details.

Y flaenoriaeth gyntaf fyddai sicrhau bod y safle’n ddiogel ac yna mynd i’r afael â tho’r porth sy’n gollwng a wal anniogle yr henaduriaeth.

Byddai angen cynnal rhestr o arteffactau a dodrefn er mwyn cadw eitemau’n ddiogel a chytuno ar eu storio a gweithredu ymhellach. Byddai ymweliad safle yn cael ei drefnu i asesu’r gwaith hwn ac unrhyw anghenion garddio.

Byddai angen caniatâd cynllunio ar gyfer newid defnydd ac roedd angen rheolwr prosiect i wneud ceisiadau am gyllid ac ati.

The first priority would be to make the site secure and then to address the leeking porch roof and the unsafe presbytery wall.

An inventory of artefacts and furniture would be needed in order to keep items safe and agree their storage and further action. A site visit would be arranged to assess this work and any gardening needs.

Planning permission would be needed for change of use and a project manager was needed to seek funding etc.

• Roedd cynllun manwl yn hanfodol i wahodd dyfynbrisiau ar gyfer elfennau o’r gwaith grant. Derbyniwyd dau ddyfynbris er y cysylltwyd â dau gwmni arall hefyd. PENDERFYNWYD, gan fod costau ac argaeledd y ddau gwmni yn debyg iawn, i gomisiynu’r cwmni a oedd wedi darparu’r cynllun braslun ar gyfer y cais am y grant.
• Byddai ymweliad safle yn cael ei drefnu i esbonio’r cynlluniau.

• Byddai enw newydd ar gyfer y parc yn cael ei roi ar agenda’r cyfarfod nesaf i ganiatáu mwy o amser i’w ystyried. Awgrymwyd ‘Maes Gwenfrewi’.

• A detailed plan was essential to invite quotes for elements of the grant works. Two quotes had been received although two other companies had also been contacted. It was RESOLVED, as costs and availability of both companies were very similar, to commission the company who had provided the sketch plan for the grant application.
• A site visit would be arranged to explain the plans.
• A new name for the park would be put on the agenda of the next meeting to allow more time for consideration. ‘Maes Gwenfrewi’ was suggested.

PENDERFYNWYD  bwrw ymlaen â’r gwaith yn amodol ar adborth cadarnhaol gan ofalwyr plant sy’n byw gydag anableddau. Dewiswyd cwmni o’r tri dyfynbris a ddarparwyd ond byddai’r gwaith yn ddibynnol ar yr adborth.

(closed contractual item)

It was RESOLVED to proceed with works subject to positive feedback from carers of children living with disabilities.  A company was chosen from the three quotes provided but the work would be subject to the feedback.

PENDERFYNWYD derbyn y dyfynbris a ddarparwyd ac y dylai’r gwaith o dacluso’r tywarch a chreu’r twmpath fynd yn ei flaen.

It was RESOLVED to accept the quote provided and that the work of tidying up the turf and creating the mound should proceed.

Roedd cais am grant wedi’i gyflwyno am ychydig dros £12,000 i brynu sied, cloddio pwll, a chyflenwi cafnau dalgylch dŵr glaw ac offer ar gyfer pob llain. Ni dderbyniwyd penderfyniad eto.

A grant application had been submitted for just over £12,000 to buy a shed, dig a pond, and supply rainwater catchment troughs and equipment for each plot. A decision had not yet been received.

Cysylltwyd â Ceredigion ynghylch materion ehangu gerddi i’r berllan ac roedd angen anfon llythyr at ddeiliaid y tai ynghylch hyn a dympio gwastraff gardd.

Ceredigion had been contacted regarding issues of encroachment at the orchard and a letter needed to be sent to householders regarding encroachment and the dumping of garden waste.

Send letter

Gofynnodd y Cynghorydd Mair Benjamin i dair coeden ffrwythau gael eu plannu ar ochr clawdd y llwybr beicio ym maes parcio Ceredigion wrth ymyl y Clwb Pêl-droed. Nodwyd hefyd bod angen ailosod coed ym Mharc Kronberg a Boulevard Sant Brieuc.

PENDERFYNWYD cysylltu â Chyngor Ceredigion i weld a fyddai hyn yn bosibl.

Cllr Mair Benjamin asked that three fruit trees by planted on the cycleway bank in the Ceredigion car park next to the Football Club. It was also noted that replacement trees were needed in Parc Kronberg and Boulevard St Brieuc.

It was RESOLVED to contact Ceredigion Council to see if this would be possible.

Contact CCC

PENDERFYNWYD ysgrifennu at Ceredigion i ofyn iddynt beidio â strimio ymylon a banciau ac ati ym mis Mai i annog blodau gwyllt

It was RESOLVED to write to Ceredigion to ask them not to strim verges and banks etc in May to encourage wildflowers.

Write to CCC

Mae gwasgaru chwynladdwyr yn aml yn achosi difrod i blanhigion eraill cyfagos a mae’r chwyn gwywedig yn edrych yn anniben. PENDERFYNWYD ysgrifennu at Gyngor Ceredigion i drafod dewisiadau trin chwyn eraill a chefnogaeth posib y Cyngor Tref.

Weedkiller application often causes damage to other plants and the wilted weeds are unsightly. It was RESOLVED to write to Ceredigion Council to discuss other weed treatment options and possible Town Council support.
