Have an opinion about what works and what doesn't in Marlborough? The new administration wants to hear about it.

MARLBOROUGH, MA — Do you think the city website needs to change? Are you a senior in need of more help from local government? Is there an intersection that really needs a stop sign?
New Marlborough Mayor Christian Dumais has launched the city's first community survey to "solicit feedback from residents and business owners surrounding the issues facing Marlborough," according to a city news release.
The questions on the survey probe everything from challenges in city schools to the effectiveness of the city website. The results of the survey will be used to "inform decision-making on the city level."

"We are starting a new chapter of Marlborough’s history. This survey is an opportunity for residents and business owners to share what they want that chapter to include," Dumais said in a news release.
Dumais, the former three-term Ward 3 city councilor who won the mayoral seat in November, had a version of the community survey on his transition website. Dumais received about 200 responses there, he said.
