MOTION BY COUNCILLOR G LAING AND J DUFF 
School Pupils to select name for Cross Tay Link Road to mark the Coronation. 
To mark the significant event of the coronation of a new head of state, King Charles
III, and the return of the Stone of Destiny to Perth & Kinross it is proposed that the
new bridge and road be named to reflect these momentous events. 
The Council resolves that all Perth & Kinross primary and secondary school pupils
will be given the opportunity to choose the name for the new bridge and road from
the following options: 
1. Coronation Crossing & Destiny Road
2. King’s Bridge & Destiny Road
3. Destiny Bridge & New Kingsway 
This will be done via an electronic survey/ballot organised in May 2023. The
preferred names will be announced in June 2023. 
The naming of the bridge and road in this way reflects not only a significant event in
our lifetimes, but also reflects the history of Scone as the home of the Stone of
Destiny and its important role in the coronation. 
It will also help promote the importance of the Stone of Destiny to the area ahead of
its return next year to the new Perth Museum.   
There is no additional cost to the Council as a result of this motion.
