BRENTWOOD The Brentwood Newsletter remained shuttered this week as townspeople continued to grapple with allegations of racism and the New Hampshire ACLU requested records of all town correspondence regarding the free community publication.

Fire chief pushing state for Portsmouth COVID vaccine site
PORTSMOUTH Fire Chief Todd Germain said he is still working to try to get the state to open a COVID-19 vaccination site in the city.
“I do know that the state is actively pursuing locations in several communities in our area. They have identified a site in our city and visited that site to see if it’s a viable option, but there hasn’t been any decision made at this point,” Germain told the City Council this week.
He also tried to partner with the state on opening a site, but that has not yet been successful.
