Ladysmith residents sweepingly approve of Spring Clean-Up service 

Results from a recent Town of Ladysmith poll show more than half of respondents thought the Ladysmith Spring cleanup was effective and efficient and want the service to continue.  

The poll was conducted by the Town from Aug. 21 to Sept. 5 to gather feedback about the 2025 Spring Clean-up, and where improvements could be made.  

Communication and engagement specialist Nicholas Pescod says those who participated in the survey provided some great feedback, and staff will keep all surveys in mind for the future.  

“The Town thanks all of those who took the time to complete the survey,” says Pescod. “The feedback was respectful, constructive and identified several areas for improvement.”  

A total of 162 respondents answered the survey and found 85 per cent of them used the service, and while only 33 per cent of them had an excellent impression 66 per cent felt it was poor to fair.
