Lincolnshire Co-op's Louth branch has reopened after a £160,000 makeover, one it says will serve as a blueprint for a wholesale revamp of its network of more than a dozen travel branches.

The modern new look has been inspired by different modes of transport, with tables shaped like aircraft wings, portholes on the walls and LED "lounge" and "departures" signs.

Tea and coffee, meanwhile, is available from a cupboard designed to look like an aircraft service trolley and there is also a new space set aside for quick drop-ins.

Lincolnshire Co-op said with its light features and colour choices, it had aimed to brighten the space, while a new "mural wall" resembles big windows commonly seen in airports.
