John Bendo campaigns for the elections
By Cara Sulieman
THE BROTHER of a boy who was killed in a road accident is standing for the Scottish Youth Parliament.
Fourteen-year-old John Bendo hopes that he can campaign for better road safety if his election bid is successful.
His brother, David, was just 17 when he was hit by a lorry during his lunch break in February last year.
And now John is hoping to highlight the problems of safety around construction sites as part of his manifesto.
“Make schools safer”
His brother was killed while building work was under way to replace Tynecastle High School.
He said: “I came up with the manifesto based on things that I feel really strongly about. My big brother was killed in an accident and I want to make schools safer and construction sites safer.
