THE chairman of Wiltshire County Council for the final year of its existence has been named as Brig Robert Hall.
The former army commander served 36 years in the Royal Artillery and led the first British arms control inspection on the former USSR. He has been a county councillor since 2005.
President of Wiltshire St John Ambulance and a trustee of two military charities based in the county, he has worked as a civil servant since leaving the army.
