Wrthi'n llwytho
Does dim crynodeb o'r cyfarfod hwn eto. Caiff un ei ysgrifennu pan fydd y cyngor yn cyhoeddi'r cofnodion. Mae'r agenda a'r papurau isod.
Councillor Fouweather asked: At November's full council meeting, I asked for an update on whether any negotiations had taken place with regards to bringing the Westgate Hotel back into operational use. The Westgate is a cornerstone of Newport’s history as the site of the Newport Rising of 1839, the last large-scale armed rebellion against authority in Great Britain. During the conflict, local Chartists marching for democracy and voting rights clashed with government troops stationed inside the hotel, leaving bullet holes in the building's entrance pillars that remain visible today. This dramatic event turned the hotel into an enduring national symbol of the struggle for working-class democratic rights and a central landmark in Wales's rich heritage of political reform. The building is a fabric of Newport's great history and heritage. In November, you provided an update whereby you said discussions were taking place with the owner of the Westgate with a view to possibly bringing the site back into use. Six months have now passed. Can the council provide any further updates on the ongoing discussions with the owner of the Westgate? Also, have the council initiated any contact with potential suitors for the Westgate who could take on the lease there, such as Premier Inns, Ibis Budget, Easy Hotel, Holiday Inn Express or even Wetherspoons who do own a chain of hotels. Only as recently as 2024, Premier Inns were looking to expand in South East Wales. Councillor Clarke responded: I can confirm that discussions are ongoing with an interested third party. Whilst I am not able to share details of discussions to date due to commercial confidentiality, it is positive that considerations are ongoing.
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.
Dyw'r cyngor ddim wedi cofnodi presenoldeb ar gyfer y cyfarfod hwn.
Yn rhestru cynghorwyr presennol y cyngor yn unig. Nid yw aelodau cyfetholedig, swyddogion a chyn-gynghorwyr yn cael eu dangos.
