5 Blodau a coed – diweddariad

 

Roedd coed newydd yn cael eu plannu ym Mharc Kronberg

 

 Town Flowers and trees – update:

 

Replacement trees were being planted in Parc Kronberg

  
6 Sbwriel a glanhau tref

 

Roedd y Cynorthwy-ydd Amgylcheddol presennol yn gadael Aberystwyth ym mis Mehefin a byddai angen cael rhywun yn ei le.

Atgoffwyd cynghorwyr i nodi’r angen am fagiau atal gwylanod yn eu wardiau.

 Refuse and town cleaning

 

The current Environmental Assistant was leaving Aberystwyth in June and would need to be replaced.

 

Councillors were reminded to identify the need for gull proof bags within their wards.

 

  
7 Santes Dwynwen

 

Rhoddwyd diweddariad a gofynnwyd i gynghorwyr annog y grwpiau a’r partneriaethau yr oeddent yn gysylltiedig â nhw i fod yn bresennol.

 Santes Dwynwen

 

An update was provided and councillors were asked to encourage the groups and partnerships they were associated with to attend.

 

  
8 Cadeiriau dec enfawr i’r prom

 

Cefnogwyd mewn egwyddor, ac ARGYMHELLWYD y dylai’r Pwyllgor Cyllid ystyried y costau

 Giant prom deckchairs

 

It was supported in principle, and it was RECOMMENDED that the costs be considered by the Finance Committee.

 

 Agenda Cyllid

9 Gefeillio Twinning Agenda Cyllid

Finance agenda
9.1 Sant Brieg:  roedd y 50fed pen-blwydd yn cael ei gynnal yn 2023 a chytunwyd y byddai is-grŵp o bobl â diddordeb yn cael ei ffurfio i gynllunio gweithgareddau ac i edrych ar ffurfio Partneriaeth Gefeillio newydd. Byddai’r grŵp yn adrodd yn ôl i’r Pwyllgor Rheoli Cyffredinol.

 

 St Brieuc: the 50th anniversary was taking place in 2023 and it was agreed a sub group of interested parties would be formed to plan activities and to look at forming a new Twinning Partnership.  The group would report back to the General Management Committee.

 

 Trefnu cyfarfod

Arrange meeting
9.2 Arklow: byddai cyfarfod yn cael ei drefnu gydag aelodau Partneriaeth Arklow i edrych ar ddatblygu’r bartneriaeth gefeillio ac i edrych ar wahodd cynrychiolwyr Arklow i Aberystwyth ym mis Awst. Arklow: a  meeting would be arranged with members of the Arklow Partnership to look at developing the twinning partnership and to look at inviting Arklow representatives to Aberystwyth in August.

 

 Trefnu cyfarfod

Arrange meeting
10 Ymgynghoriad: Cynllun Lles Ceredigion 2023-28

 

Teimlai cynghorwyr fod y cynllun yn amwys ac yn siomedig gyda chyflawni sero net erbyn 2030 fel yr unig darged mesuradwy.

 

Teimlwyd hefyd bod ymgynghori wedi bod yn gyfyngedig ac nad oedd Aberystwyth fel yr unig dref fawr yng Ngheredigion yn cael ei chynrychioli’n ddigonol ar y Bwrdd Gwasanaethau Cyhoeddus.

 

Byddai’n fuddiol pe bai swyddogion yn cyfarfod â’r Cyngor Tref

 Consultation: Ceredigion Wellbeing Plan 2023-28

 

Councillors felt that the plan was vague and disappointing with achieving net zero by 2030 being the only measurable target.

 

It was also felt that consultation had been limited and that Aberystwyth as the only large town in Ceredigion was not adequately represented on the Public Service Board.

 

It would be beneficial if officers met with the Town Council

12 Bardd y Dref

 

Eglurodd y Cyng. Emlyn Jones y byddai hwn yn deitl anrhydeddus dinesig. Roedd y Cynghorwyr yn cefnogi’r syniad yn llwyr a byddai manylion pellach yn cael eu llunio ynglŷn â dethol, urddo a dyletswyddau ac ati i’w cyflwyno i’r Cyngor Llawn.

 Town bard

 

Cllr Emlyn Jones explained that this would be a civic honorary title. Councillors fully supported the idea and further detail would be drawn up as to selection, inauguration and duties etc to be presented to Full Council

 

 Agenda Cyngor Llawn

Full Council agenda
  Oherwydd pwysau amser, cytunodd y cynghorwyr i atal y Rheolau Sefydlog am 15 munud er mwyn ystyried yr eitemau oedd yn weddill ar yr agenda. Due to time pressure, councillors agreed to suspend Standing Orders for 15 minutes in order to consider the remaining items on the agenda.

 

  
13 Cydnabod menywod Aberystwyth

 

Roedd y Cyng Jeff Smith wedi dosbarthu rhestr o ferched nodedig Aberystwyth ac eglurodd yr angen iddynt gael eu cydnabod. Cytunwyd bod placiau’n briodol a byddai’r Pwyllgor Cyllid yn ystyried y gyllideb.

 Recognition for the women of Aberystwyth

 

Cllr Jeff Smith had circulated a list of the noteworthy women of Aberystwyth and explained the need for them to be recognised. It was agreed that plaques were appropriate and the Finance Committee would consider the budget.
