Byddai ymweliad safle ar gyfer Cynghorwyr yn cael ei gynnal ar 24 Ebrill 2024. Ymweliad cynnar gyda’r nos fyddai hon, er mwyn i Gynghorwyr sy’n gweithio ac yn methu dod yn ystod y dydd yn gallu ymweld.

A site visit for Councillors would be held on 24 April 2024. This would be an early evening visit, so that Councillors who work and are unable to attend in the day could visit.

Dosbarthwyd cynllun amlinellol gan y Clerc i gyflwyno cais llwyddiannus. Byddai angen cynnal gwaith mawr ymgynghori/ymgysylltu cymunedol cyn diwedd mis Mai, a byddai angen ymdrech sylweddol gan staff a chynghorwyr i gyflawni hyn.

ARGYMHELLWYD cymeradwyo cynllun y Clerc a sefydlu gweithgor ‘bwrdd prosiect’ i gael trosolwg pellach o’r prosiect.

Byddai cynghorwyr a staff yn cyfarfod yn anffurfiol am 4yh ddydd Gwener 12 Ebrill i drafod anghenion yr ymgynghoriad yn fanylach.

An outline plan by the Clerk to deliver a successful application was circulated. Major community consultation/engagement work would need to be conducted before the end of May, and this would require considerable effort from staff and councillors to deliver.

It was RECOMMENDED to approve the Clerk’s plan and to set up a ‘project board’ working group to have further oversight of the project.

Councillors and staff would meet informally at 4pm on Friday 12 April to discuss the needs of the consultation in greater depth.

Deallwyd bod Cyngor Sir Ceredigion yn bwriadu cynnig yr adeilad ar brydles eto. Cytunwyd i beidio â gwneud unrhyw ymholiadau.

It was understood that Ceredigion County Council intend to offer the buidling for lease again. It was agreed not to make any enquiries.

Dosbarthwyd cynigion drafft newydd gan y Comisiwn Ffiniau. Roedd yn dda gweld bod sylwadau blaenorol y Cyngor Tref wedi’u hystyried.

ARGYMHELLWYD darparu adborth pellach yn awgrymu:

·         Dylid cynnwys adeiladau Canolfan y Celfyddydau Aberystwyth ac adran Gwleidyddiaeth Ryngwladol y brifysgol o fewn ffin Aberystwyth.

·         Cadw nifer cynghorwyr Cyngor Tref Aberystwyth yn 19, yn hytrach na’r gostyngiad arfaethedig i 17, gan fod mwy o gyfrifoldebau yn cael eu trosglwyddo o Gyngor Sir Ceredigion

New draft proposals by the Boundary Commission were circulated. It was good to see that the Town Council’s previous comments had been taken on board.

It was RECOMMENDED to provide further feedback suggesting:

·         Aberystwyth Arts Centre and the university’s International Politics department buildings be included within the Aberystwyth boundary.

·         To keep the number of councillors for Aberystwyth Town Council at 19, rather than the proposed reduction to 17, as so much responsibility was being taken on from Ceredigion County Council.

Roedd Cyng. Dylan Lewis-Rowlands wedi paratoi ymateb drafft. Gan nad oedd digon o amser wedi bod i bawb ddarllen yr ymateb drafft, byddai Cynghorwyr yn anfon unrhyw barnau neu ddiwygiadau trwy e-bost erbyn 1yh dydd Mercher 10 Ebrill, fel gall ymateb gael ei anfon cyn i’r ymgynghoriad ddod i ben ddydd Gwener 12 Ebrill. Gall cynghorwyr hefyd ymateb yn unigol.

Diolchwyd i’r Cyng. Dylan Lewis-Rowlands am ei waith.

Cllr. Dylan Lewis-Rowlands had prepared a draft response. As there had not been sufficient time for all to read the draft response, Councillors would send any views or amendments via email by 1pm Wednesday 10 April, so that a response could be sent before the consultation’s closing on Friday 12 April. Councillors could also respond individually.

Cllr. Dylan Lewis-Rowlands was thanked for his work.

Llythyr yn gofyn am gefnogaeth mewn egwyddor i gynnig i godi olwyn wylio dymhorol ar bromenâd Aberystwyth. Bydd angen gofyn am ragor o wybodaeth er mwyn cael ystyriaeth wybodus:

·         Cost i’w godi fesul reid

·         Lleoliad union

·         Asesiadau diogelwch ac amgylcheddol

·         Sŵn – a fyddai cerddoriaeth ynddo?

·         Ymgynghori cymunedol i brofi’r galw am gynnig o’r fath

Bydd cynrychiolwyr yn cael eu gwahodd i roi cyflwyniad ar eu cynnig.

A letter requesting support in principle for a proposal to erect a seasonal observation wheel on Aberystwyth promenade. Further information would be requested for an informed consideration:

·         Cost to be charged per ride

·         Exact location

·         Safety and environmental assessments

·         Noise – would it have music?

·         Community consultation to prove the demand for such a proposal

Representatives would be invited to present on their proposal.
