Aberdeenshire Council pays tribute to Councillor George Hall

Aberdeenshire Council has expressed its deep sadness following the sudden passing of Councillor George Hall, who has died at the age of 65.

Cllr Hall had served the Peterhead South and Cruden ward with dedication since his election in May 2022. 

A committed member of the Buchan Area Committee, he also brought his insight and experience to the council’s audit and sustainability committees.

Originally from Lisburn in Northern Ireland, George enjoyed a long career in the police force. 

Following his retirement from policing, he continued his public service through local politics, becoming a respected and well-liked representative of his community.

George is survived by his wife Annette, his children Cameron and Georgia and his five grandchildren. 

Cllr Dianne Beagrie, chair of the Buchan Area Committee, paid tribute to her colleague’s unwavering commitment, saying: “Since his election in 2022, George faithfully supported his constituency both through local case work and through the committee process. He continued to fulfill that role while he fought a long hard battle with serious illness with great strength and dignity. On behalf of the council and our communities, my thoughts and condolences go to George’s family at this time.”

Aberdeenshire Council extends its heartfelt sympathies to George’s family, friends and all those who had the privilege of working alongside him.
