The Queenstown bar staff responsible for locking in a Swedish
tourist overnight last week have changed their procedures to
ensure it does not happen again.
Liquor licensing agents from council's regulatory services
arm Lakes Environmental met Skybar manager Daniel Taiaroa and
staff yesterday to discuss how the 19-year-old woman came to
be locked inside a toilet cubicle asleep and left overnight
last Wednesday.
Lakes Environmental corporate and regulatory manager Lee
Webster said the management team of the bar in Camp St had
made changes to improve procedures and have a more
''thorough'' inspection when closing each night.
No official warnings or sanctions resulted from yesterday's
meeting.
