Cafwyd cyflwyniad gan Jennifer Wolowic, arbenigwraig deialog o Brifysgol Aberystwyth. Roedd y cyflwyniad yn canolbwyntio ar bwysigrwydd cyfathrebu, ymgysylltu ac ymddiriedaeth cyhoeddus, a phwysleisiodd yr angen am gyfathrebu clir, cyson a dwy ffordd.

Roedd y cyflwyniad yn fuddiol iawn a diolchwyd i Jennifer am ei hamser a’i hymdrechion.

Ceisiwyd syniadau ar gyfer digwyddiad ymchwil cymunedol Prifysgol Aberystwyth a gynhelir yn yr Hydref.

A presentation was given by Jennifer Wolowic, dialogue expert from Aberystwyth University. The presentation focussed on the importance of public communication, engagement and trust, and emphasised the need for clear, consistent and two-way communication.

The presentation was very beneficial and Jennifer was thanked for her time and efforts.

Ideas were sought for Aberystwyth University’s community research event being held in the Autumn.

Datganwyd diddordeb gan y Cyng. Alun Williams, a gadawodd y siambr.

Dosbarthwyd ymateb drafft i’r ymgynghoriad. Gyda’r hawl i ymateb wedi’i ddirprwyo gan y Cyngor Llawn, PENDERFYNWYD diwygio’r ymateb i ddangos gwrthwynebiad cryfach i’r cynigion. Byddai ymateb diwygiedig yn cael ei ddosbarthu i’w gytuno drwy e-bost.

Cllr. Alun Williams declared and interest and left the chamber.

A draft response to the consultation was circulated. With power to respond delegated by Full Council, it was RESOLVED to amend the response to show stronger opposition to the proposals. An amended response would be circulated for agreement via email.

Dosbarthwyd adroddiad cynnydd gan y Rheolwr Prosiect a siartiau lliw ar gyfer waliau ac arddulliau cegin.

A progress report by the Project Manager and colour charts for walls & kichen styles were circulated.

Roedd y gronfa wedi ei had-drefnu, gan olygu y byddai angen Datganiad o Ddiddordeb newydd. Gyda’r ad-drefnu, roedd y gronfa yn mynd yn llai ac yn fwy cystadleuol, felly byddai angen adolygu’r cais.

Byddai cyfarfod arbennig o’r Cyngor Llawn yn cael ei gynnal ddydd Llun 18.3.2024, cyn y Pwyllgor Cyllid, i drafod hyn ymhellach.

Gadawodd y Cyng. Lucy Huws y cyfarfod.

The fund had been reorganised, meaning that a new Expression of Interest would be needed. With the reorganisation, the fund was getting smaller and more competitive, therefore the application would need to be reviewed.

An extraordinary meeting of Full Council would be held on Monday 18.3.2024, before Finance Committee, to discuss this further.

Cllr. Lucy Huws left the meeting

Extraordinary Full Council

Er yn gefnogol o’r cynigion, roedd yr Ymddiriedolaeth Cofebion Rhyfel cenedlaethol wedi gofyn am ymgysylltiad cymunedol ar gynlluniau i adleoli Cofeb Ryfel y Tabernacl. Dosbarthwyd dogfen ymgynghorol ddrafft a, gyda rhai mân newidiadau, ARGYMHELLWYD cymeradwyo’r ddogfen.

Gadawodd y Cyng. Kerry Ferguson ac Emlyn Jones y cyfarfod

Whilst supportive of proposals, the national War Memorials Trust had requested community engagement on plans to relocate the Tabernacl War Memorial. A draft consultation document was circulated and, with some small amendments, it was RECOMMENDED to approve the document.

Cllrs. Kerry Ferguson and Emlyn Jones left the meeting.

Dosbarthwyd dyluniad terfynol y murlun. ARGYMHELLWYD cymeradwyo dyluniad y murlun, gyda’r amod ei fod yn cael ei symud yn uwch i fyny’r wal fel nad yw’r gerdd yn cael ei chuddio gan feiciau wedi’u parcio, biniau neu feinciau ac ati.

Byddai’r Pwyllgor Cyllid yn cadarnhau’r cyfraniad ariannol a gytunwyd eisoes gan y Cyngor.

The final design of the mural was circulated. It was RECOMMENDED to support the mural design, with the proviso that it is moved higher up the wall so that the poem does not get obscured by parked bikes, bins or benches etc.

Finance Committee would confirm the financial contribution previously agreed by Council.

Finance Agenda

ARGYMHELLWYD sefydlu tudalennau cyfryngau cymdeithasol (Facebook & Instagram) ar gyfer Marchnad yr Hen Dref a Gŵyl y Castell.

It was RECOMMENDED to set up social media (Facebook & Instagram) pages for both the Old Town Market and Gŵyl y Castell.

Cytunwyd nad oedd angen is-grŵp ar gyfer materion addysg, gan nad yw addysg yn dod o fewn cylch gorchwyl y Cyngor Tref.

Dylai cynghorwyr sy’n cynrychioli’r Cyngor fel llywodraethwyr ysgol ddarparu adroddiadau ysgrifenedig yn rheolaidd i’r Cyngor Llawn, fydd wedyn yn llywio ymatebion y Cyngor i ymgynghoriadau ar addysg.

It was agreed that a sub-group for education issues was not necessary, as education does not fall within the Town Council’s remit.

Councillors who represent the Council as school governors should regularly provide written reports to Full Council, which then inform the Council’s responses to consultations on education.
