LONDON – It was one small ban for mankinis, one giant step for an English seaside resort town.

Officials in Newquay say ***** has fallen since they cracked down on stag parties wearing the revealing one-piece garments.

The town in southwest England is a haven for surfers and also attracts large numbers of young partygoers.

After two teenagers fell from cliffs to their ****** in 2009, residents protested about the excessive partying.

****** clamped down on anti-social behaviour, including public drunkenness and the wearing of “inappropriate clothing” such as the sling-style swimsuits made notorious by comic character Borat.

Mayor David Sleeman said Thursday the town was unrecognizable from a few years ago, when “you couldn’t walk the streets on a Saturday without seeing someone wearing a mankini or what have you.”
