Officers clarified that fees were introduced to manage demand, with income contributing to site running costs.

Lease arrangements include payments for utility charges. • Concerns were raised regarding the fairness of toilet provision across the area and the need to ensure adequate provision for those with disabilities. Members were reassured that accessibility has been a key factor in the design of the proposed new facilities. RESOLVED: That the Porth Eirias Update Report be noted.

Rhaid i gynghorwyr ddweud pan fydd ganddyn nhw gysylltiad personol â rhywbeth sy'n cael ei drafod, fel swydd, eiddo neu aelod o'r teulu. Mae buddiant sy'n rhagfarnu yn ddigon cryf i'r cynghorydd adael yr ystafell fel arfer a pheidio â chymryd rhan.
Caiff datganiadau eu darllen o'r cofnodion unwaith y byddan nhw wedi'u cyhoeddi.
Yn rhestru cynghorwyr presennol y cyngor yn unig. Nid yw aelodau cyfetholedig, swyddogion a chyn-gynghorwyr yn cael eu dangos.
