Government Study Committee Survey

The Town of Dudley is seeking input from residents to better understand how effectively local government communicates, how well our current governing structure is serving the community, and whether changes should be explored for the future. Your feedback is an important part of evaluating potential improvements to transparency, efficiency, and representation in town governance.

This survey includes questions about communication, the town’s current form of government, possible areas for improvement, and your familiarity with options such as a Town Charter or alternative town meeting structures. Your responses are anonymous and will help guide discussions and decision-making moving forward.
