THE Daily Echo's Parking Mad campaign started in June 2007. The purpose is to prevent parents putting lives at risk by parking dangerously outside schools and it has the backing of parents, teachers, councillors, the police and MPs. Parking Mad started by looking at the morning and afternoon collections in Bournemouth and continues in Poole, Christchurch, New Forest, East and North Dorset over the coming months.
