Tanning salon boss ordered to take down 'offensive' poster showing woman in a bikini

The boss of a tanning salon has lost a battle to keep a poster of a bikini-clad woman on his shop window after the council branded it "offensive".

Jim Cole, 29, paid £700 for the large image of a model on a beach to appear on the outside of the Malibu Tanning Lounge in Market Harborough, Leicestershire.

He claimed the vinyl panels were fitted to the windows to allow privacy for customers using the tanning beds inside as well as hiding the till and computers.
