twym yno. Dywedodd y Cyng. Nigel Williams bod llefyd ffel Llanymddyfri sydd wedi cymryd toiledau drosodd felly hwn yw’r
heol sy’n cael ei ddilyn nawr ac yn y diwedd efallai bydd rhaid cymryd drosto. Dywedodd ei fod wedi bod lawr yn gwirio’r
toiledau a bod y to yn dda a’r waliau mewn cyflwr da ar hyn o bryd ond bod angen gwaith ar y waliau tu allan ond dywedodd
bod y Cyngor Sir yn mynd i wneud y gwaith hyn. Dywedodd hefyd bod rhaid cael toiledau yno gan fod bysiau yn galw yng
Nghenarth yn ystod yr haf. Dyweododd y Cyng. Philip Gibbons y dylai perchennog Rheadr Cenarth ddarparu toiledau gan mai
nhw sy’n denu. Dywedodd y Cyng. Richard James bod angen i ni gefnogi Cenarth. Awgrymodd y Cyng. Philip Gibbons y dylid

cost rhoi peiriant talu ar y drws yn ddrud iawn. Bydd hefyd angen talu rhywun i lanhau’r toiledau. Awgrymodd y Cyng. Nigel
Williams y dylid gofyn i berchnogion busnes am eu barn. Os byddai’r toiledau’n cau, ni fydd perchnogion y tafarndai yn hapus
i drigolion ddefnyddio’u toiledau nhw. Dywedwyd bod y Cyngor Sir wedi gofyn iddynt am hyn a’u bod wedi gwrthod rhoi
caniatâd. Rhybuddiodd y Cyng. Ken Howell mai un siawns gewn ni i brynu’r adeilad ac unwaith byddant wedi cau, bydd hi’n
anodd eu hailagor. Dywedodd y Cyng. Philip Gibbons bod y Cyngor Sir yn ‘offloado’ llawer o’r faich. Dywedodd y Cyng. Nigel

Cenarth Toilets - Cllr. Richard James said that the intention is definitely to close the toilets if there is no buyer but the County
Council would intend to carry out work on the site before handing over if a buyer showed interest. Cllr Ken Howell said that
this happened in Drefach Velindre and that the County Council had put hot water there. Cllr Nigel Williams stated that
Llandovery has taken over toilets so this is the road that is being followed now and in the end it may have to be taken over. He
said he had been down checking the toilets and the roof was good and the walls were in good condition at the moment but
the outside walls needed work but he said the County Council were going to do this work . He also said that it is essential that
there are toilets there as buses call at Cenarth during the summer. Cllr Philip Gibbons said that the owner of Cenarth Falls
should provide toilets as they are the attraction. Cllr Richard James said that we need to support Cenarth. Cllr Philip Gibbons
stated that inquiries should be made to see if they would be willing to support the case. The Chairman said that the majority of
businesses were on the Ceredigion side. Cllr Philip Gibbons said that the owners of the Falls should be asked to contribute
and the other Councilors agreed. Cllr Ken Howell warned that if the toilets were to close we will get a lot of complaints. The
Chairman suggested that portaloos could be given but Cllr Richard James said that they won't look appealing to the eye. It
was said that the cost of putting a payment machine on the door was very expensive. It will also be necessary to pay
someone to clean the toilets. Cllr Nigel Williams suggested that business owners should be asked for their opinion. If the
toilets close, the pub owners will not be happy for residents to use their toilets. It was said that the County Council had asked
them about this and that they had refused to give permission. Cllr Ken Howell warned that we get one chance to buy the
building and once they are closed, it will be difficult to reopen them. Cllr Philip Gibbons said that the County Council is
offloading a lot of the burden. Cllr Nigel Williams said that he is sure that someone in the village is opening and locking the
toilets at the moment.
