Newtown and Llanllwchaiarn Town Council’ Strategy and Corporate Projects Committee convened to review the findings of a survey of the provision of community halls in the South Ward and Llanllwchaiarn area.
In response to previous concerns raised at committee about potential gaps in community hall provision, your council undertook a follow up survey of south ward and of Llanllwchaiarn area. Councillor R. Taylor and officers provided a project update. The data, previously presented and resubmitted, was analysed and discussed at length during the SCPC meeting.
Despite extensive efforts to solicit feedback, including door-to-door hard copy surveys, the response rate was lower than anticipated. Additionally, interest in volunteering to join a residents’ group to help run a hall was lower still. The committee acknowledged some previous public expressions of concern on social media but noted the lack of strong evidence in the survey data for the need for additional community hall provision.
Following careful debate, the committee resolved that, based on the survey data responses, it does not see evidence of need for additional community hall provision in the South Ward and Llanllwchaiarn areas and resolves to close the follow up project PP CF1.
However, the council recognised the additional value of the door-to-door survey work undertaken by town councillors as a foundation for future community engagement initiatives, and thanked all those who took part.

Cynhaliwyd Pwyllgor Strategaeth a Phrosiectau Corfforaethol Cyngor Tref y Drenewydd a Llanllwchaiarn i adolygu canfyddiadau arolwg o ddarpariaeth neuaddau cymunedol yn Ardal De a Llanllwchaiarn.
Mewn ymateb i bryderon blaenorol a godwyd yn y pwyllgor am bynciau posibl ynghylch diffygion posibl mewn darpariaeth neuadd gymunedol, gwblhaodd eich cyngor arolwg dilynol o’r ardal de ac o ardal Llanllwchaiarn. Rhoddodd y Cynghorydd R. Taylor a swyddogion ddiweddariad ar y prosiect. Analyswyd y data, a gyflwynwyd ac ailgyflwynwyd o’r blaen, ac fe’i trafodwyd yn helaeth yn ystod cyfarfod y SCPC.
Er gwaethaf ymdrechion hela adborth helaeth, gan gynnwys arolygon copïau caled drws-yn-drws, roedd y gyfradd ymateb yn is nag yr ystyrwyd. Yn ogystal, roedd diddordeb mewn gwirfoddoli i ymuno â grŵp preswylwyr i helpu i redeg neuadd yn is nag yr ystyriwyd. Cydnabu’r pwyllgor rai mynegiadau blaenorol o bryder ar gyfryngau cymdeithasol ond nododd diffyg tystiolaeth gref yn y data arolwg ar gyfer yr angen am ddarpariaeth ychwanegol o neuadd gymunedol.
Yn dilyn dadl ofalus, penderfynodd y pwyllgor, ar sail ymatebion data’r arolwg, nad yw’n gweld tystiolaeth o angen am ddarpariaeth ychwanegol o neuadd gymunedol yn Ardaloedd De a Llanllwchaiarn ac yn penderfynu cau’r prosiect dilynol PP CF1.
Fodd bynnag, cydnabu’r cyngor werth ychwanegol y gwaith arolwg drws-yn-drws a wnaed gan gynghorwyr tref fel sylfaen ar gyfer mentrau ymgysylltu cymunedol yn y dyfodol, ac a ddiolch i’r holl bobl a gymerodd ran.
