Steven died in 2003 following a battle with cancer and Dave passed away in 2013.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The site at Steven\u2019s Place was previously owned by Dave Scott and was where he brought up his family. It was always his desire that if the ground was ever developed for housing, the development would be named after his son, Steven, who tragically died of cancer at the age of 35.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Marking the announcement at McDiarmid Park in Perth, CHA staff welcomed members of Dave and Steven\u2019s family to a ribbon cutting ceremony and presented them with a model of the street sign. Representatives from Perth &amp; Kinross Council and The Webster Group, as the contractors of the development, also attended the ceremony.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Speaking on behalf of the Scott family, Adele MacDonald, Steven\u2019s sister, said: \u201cThe family were all aware of my dad\u2019s wishes for the land behind the old family home and we are delighted that Caledonia Housing Association, in partnership with Perth &amp; Kinross Council, has brought his wish to fruition with the development of affordable housing in Steven\u2019s Place.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Alan Nairn, Chair of Caledonia Housing Association, said: \u201cToday was a significant and fitting tribute to a well-respected local family in Perth. Steven\u2019s Place is a small but significant development in which we have created much needed affordable homes for social rent. We\u2019re proud to be able to celebrate this development with the Scott family as it fulfils Dave\u2019s wish for his house and land to be used to build affordable housing for the city.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Perth &amp; Kinross Council\u2019s Housing and Social Wellbeing Convener, Councillor Tom McEwan, added: \u201cCouncillor Dave Scott was a great servant to the people of Perth and Kinross, and it is typical of the man that he wanted this site to be used for affordable social housing to help other people. It is very fitting that the new development will be named after his late son Steven. This housing will be a great legacy for both Steven and Dave Scott.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>If you would like to discuss your communications needs, you can reach our friendly team on\u00a0<strong>+44 (0) 141 548 5191<\/strong>\u00a0or send us an\u00a0<a href=\"mailto:team@sprengthomson.com\">email<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Find out more about what we do on the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/sprengthomson.com\/services\/\">Services<\/a>\u00a0page and explore our\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/sprengthomson.com\/work\/\">Work<\/a>.<\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Caledonia Housing Association (CHA) has named a new Perth development after the son of the previous landowner.
