Poll was conducted 9-9-23 to 9-10-23 utilizing 2 Gardner Facebook Groups. All of the options in the Poll were created by group members, not us. We published results when the poll began to get very few additional votes.
Simple Gardner MA Poll “What Gardner Issues are most important to you?
“Simple Poll: What Gardner Issues are most important to you?: Please add your own options as you see fit. I want more accurate results. I’m simply putting in the word “Ignore” as a topic because you need at least one when you add a poll.” Once someone added another option, I deleted “ignore.” Therefore, every option on both sites was added by a group member of their own volition.
Each poll yielded different results. Notable on both were the issues of Water and Roads.
Poll: Gardner, Ma – #1 What’s Going on
Water/Heating Coil Issues and Water Quality was top item at a total of 24%, Road Conditions 18%, Affordable Housing 17%, Taxes 7%, and Using/Repair of abandoned buildings 7%
Poll: Gardner MA: Uncensored
Transparency on how tax dollars are spent: 29%, New businesses coming to Gardner: 27%, Quality Tap water 18%, Safe Schools 10%, and Road Infrastructure Improvements 7%. We left in one category: “Mayor and New Administration” even though it came in at 0% with 1 vote. Reason: It’s significant nearly all members did not see current Mayor as an issue, reasonable assumption is overwhelmingly support for current Mayor Michael Nicholson.
