A protest has been taking place by a group who claim some Lincolnshire county council services are falling short of the standards they expect.

Organisers are particularly concerned about provision for domestic abuse and social care.

They're urging councillors to address their worries.

We spoke to Nicola Wilson who organised the event.

She told us: " We have a brilliant opportunity in Lincolnshire in that we've got the Lincolnshire domestic abuse partnership."

We're putting forward suggestions for positive change

"The problem we've got is the funds are lacking in that area so much that women are only managing to get about 12 weeks support."

"It's our opportunity to try and make a change and that's why it came to a protest."

"There was kind of no resolution to some of these problems so it's just about finding that resolution and putting forward suggestions for positive change and kind of helping the community to make Lincolnshire and better place."

"If anyone has comments there'll be a box so people's views can be heard."

We have approached Lincolnshire county council for comment but so far haven't heard back.
