BERLIN â The city has reached an out-of-court settlement in a civil lawsuit over a Berlin Police officerâs use of a taser against a teenager in June 2018.
Mayor Paul Grenier announced the settlement agreement at Mondayâs city council meeting after the council met in non-public session with its attorney. The N.H. Public Risk Management Exchange, which provides insurance coverage to the city, agreed to pay $120,000 to settle the suit. The mayor stressed that the settlement was not an admission of guilty or liability by any of the parties, including Berlin police department.Â
After the agreement was publicly reported, the council voted in open session to approve it.
The fine Edwardian House in Reading THE OWNER of a ‘fine’ Edwardian House has finally been given the green light to turn their property into flats having been knocked back on six previous occasions. The home, at 39 Brunswick Hill near Reading West station, has been the subject of three planning applications in three years. Each time the applicant was told their plan to convert the property into a number of flats was not acceptable and each time a subsequent appeal was thrown out by national planning inspectors.

The council has slammed landlord Eric Benjamin as “greedy” and in October called on him to “get the message”. Mr Benjamin is back with another plan and the council’s Planning Applications committee will vote on it next week. RBC officers have recommended the plan be approved, saying they believe the proposals have “overcome the reasons for dismissal of the appeal for the previous application”.

– WhatsApp has extended the deadline for accepting its new terms and conditions. The move follows a mass exodus of users who balked at the company’s demand that they allow their data to be shared with parent-platform Facebook. Millions have since flocked to rival messaging apps Signal and Telegram, sending the stock value of each company skyrocketing.
In response to the boycott and other criticism, Facebook had launched a newspaper campaign in India (where the app also hosts a payment and a food delivery service), telling users that neither the Mark Zuckerberg-helmed firm nor its instant messaging subsidiary has or will have access to their private conversations, which are protected with end-to-end encryption. WhatsApp also attempted to reassure users by stating that the new T&Cs boil down to
