Estynnwyd croeso cynnes i dri aelod newydd o staff a oedd wedi ymuno o dan arian y grant.

Cafwyd diweddariad gan y Cyng. Emlyn Jones a’r Gweinyddwr Partneriaeth Tref:

·         Y disgwyl oedd y byddai rhai o’r allbynnau mwy gweledol a thwristiaeth yn cael eu cyflawni erbyn Ebrill/Mai (Teithiau cerdded, canllawiau sain, gwefan/ap ac ati)

·         Gofynnwyd am wirfoddolwyr ar gyfer digwyddiadau a fyddai’n cael eu trefnu, fel sesiynau codi sbwriel.

·         Byddai adroddiad misol yn cael ei ddarparu gan y Weinyddwr Partneriaeth Tref i ddiweddaru’r Cyngor Llawn.

·         Roedd y ffurflen hawlio gyntaf yn cael ei pharatoi a byddai’n barod i’w chyflwyno cyn bo hir.

A warm welcome was extended to three new members of staff who had joined under grant funding.

An update was provided by Cllr. Emlyn Jones and the Town Partneship Administrator:

·         It was expected that some of the more visual and tourism based outputs would be achieved by April/May (Walking tours, audio guides, website/app etc.)

·         Volunteers were sought for planned events, such as litter picks.

·         A monthly report would be provided by the Town Partnership Administrator to update Full Council.

·         The first claim form was being prepared and would soon be ready for submission.

Cafwyd cyflwyniad gan Swyddog Mannau Gwyrdd Cyngor Sir Ceredigion yn amlinellu cynllun rhagarweiniol i gysylltu llwybrau cerdded ym Mharc Natur Penglais â Craig Glais drwy Glyn Y Cariadon a Allt Y Clogwyn. Roedd y Pwyllgor yn gefnogol iawn i’r prosiect, er bod rhai rhwystrau posibl:

·         Cyllid heb ei sicrhau

·         Byddai angen pont ar draws Glyn Y Cariadon

·         Caniatâd perchnogion tir

Diolchwyd i’r Swyddog Mannau Gwyrdd am ei chyflwyniad.

A presentation was given by Ceredigion County Council’s Greenspace Officer outlining a preliminary plan to connect walking paths at Parc Natur Penglais to Craig Glais via Glyn Y Cariadon and Allt Y Clogwyn. The Committee was very supportive of the project, althought there were some potential barriers:

·         Funding not secured

·         A bridge would be needed across Glyn Y Cariadon

·         Landowner permissions

The Greenspace Officer was thanked for her presentation.

Socedi: Barnwyd bod pyrth USB mewn socedi yn ddiangen. ARGYMHELLWYD gosod o leiaf un soced ar gyfer y rhai â nam ar eu golwg ym mhob ystafell a gwahodd arbenigwyr hygyrchedd a chynwysoldeb o Gyngor Sir Ceredigion i asesu anghenion yr adeilad.

Llawr: Nid oedd sylfaen i’r llawr yn ystafell gyfarfod 1 ac roedd wedi’i adeiladu ar bridd. Byddai angen gosod sylfaen goncrit newydd, gyda chost amcangyfrifedig o £2,800.21. ARGYMHELLWYD cymeradwyo hyn, gan fod arbedion yn cael eu gwneud mewn mannau eraill.

Ymweliad safle: Roedd ymweliad safle ar gyfer Cynghorwyr yn cael ei drefnu ar gyfer 25 Ionawr 2024.

Sockets: USB ports in sockets were deemed unneccesary. It was RECOMMENDED to fit at least one socket for the visually impaired in each room and to invite accessibility and inclusivity experts from Ceredigion County Council to assess the needs of the building.

Floor: The floor in meeting room 1 had no foundation and was built on soil. A new concrete foundation would need to be installed, with an estimated cost of £2,800.21. It was RECOMMENDED that this be approved, as savings were being made elsewhere.

Site visit: A site visit for Councillors was being arranged for 25 January 2024.

Cytunwyd nad oedd angen pwyllgor neu grwp gwaith ar wahân, gan fod croeso i bob Cynghorydd gysylltu â’r swyddfa i roi mewnbwn, syniadau neu ofyn am wybodaeth.

Sicrhawyd cyllid grant i ddarparu rhaglen ehangach o ddigwyddiadau ar gyfer y flwyddyn. Byddai’r Swyddog Digwyddiadau a Phartneriaethau yn dosbarthu rhestr o ddigwyddiadau cynlluniedig ar gyfer mewnbwn gan Gynghorwyr.

It was agreed that a separate committee or working group was not necessary, as all Councillors are welcome to contact the office to give input, ideas or request information.

Grant funding had been secured to provide an expanded programme of events for the year. The Events and Partnerships Officer would circulate a list of planned events for Councillor input.

Roedd Cam 1 y gwaith yn dod i ben ac roedd y dyraniad wedi dechrau. Roedd gwelyau wedi cael eu cynnig i Brifysgol Aberystwyth a’r GIG, a gellid eu cynnig i wasanaeth iechyd meddwl Gorwellion.

Disgwyliwyd y gallai’r tyfu ddechrau tua 1 Chwefror 2024. Byddai ymweliad safle a datganiad i’r wasg yn cael eu trefnu yn gynnar yn y Gwanwyn.

Diolchwyd i’r Rheolwr Cyfleusterau ac Asedau am ei waith; roedd y safle yn drawsnewidiad ardderchog o dir segur.

Phase 1 of works was coming to an end and allocation had started. Beds had been offered to Aberystwyth University and the NHS, and could be offered to Gorwellion mental health service.

It was expected that growing could begin around 1 February 2024. A site visit and press release would be organised in early Spring.

The Facilities and Assets Manager was thanked for his work; the site was an excellent transformation of disused land.

Cafwyd diweddariad gan y Swyddog Digwyddiadau a Phartneriaethau. Roedd arian grant wedi’i sicrhau, gan alluogi digwyddiad llawer mwy na’r blynyddoedd blaenorol. Fe’i cynhelir ar ddydd Sadwrn 27 Ionawr, a byddai’r digwyddiad yn cynnwys gorymdaith, twmpath ac adloniant gyda’r hwyr gan nifer o gerddorion.

Roedd cerddi yn cael ei hysgrifennu gan Fardd y Dref, a fyddai’n cael ei hargraffu ar gardiau post i’w rhannu; Byddai cynghorwyr sydd hefyd yn llywodraethwyr ysgol yn holi eu hysgolion i blant ddarllen y gerdd ar y diwrnod.

An update was provided by the Events and Partnerships Officer. Grant funding had been secured, enabling a much larger event that previous years. Held on Saturday 27 January, the event would include a parade, twmpath and evening entertainment from multiple musicians.

Poems were being written by the Town Bard, which would be printed on postcards to share; Councillors who are also school governors would enquire with their schools for children to read the poem on the day.

Gadawodd Cyng. Dylan Lewis-Rowlands y siambr.

ARGYMHELLWYD cymeradwyo’r cais i blannu coeden olewydd ym Maes Gwenfrewi. Dylai’r plannu ddilyn polisi coed coffa’r Cyngor.

Cllr. Dylan Lewis-Rowlands left the chamber.

It was RECOMMENDED to approve the request to plant an olive tree in Maes Gwenfrewi. The planting should follow the Council’s memorial tree policy.

Contact

Byddai llythyr yn cael ei anfon mewn ymateb yn gofyn am ragor o fanylion am rai gwasanaethau cyn cyfarfod â’u Harweinydd a’r Prif Weithredwr ddiwedd Ionawr.

A letter would be sent in response requesting further details on certain services ahead of meeting with their Leader and Chief Executive at the end of January.
