The government is expected to announce this week that it is to cap the spending of four councils with social services responsibilities, raising fears of cuts in care services.
Herefordshire, Nottingham, Torbay and Telford and Wrekin Councils look set to be told they will not be allowed to raise council tax as much as they planned in order to meet the expected cost of services.
Services for people with learning difficulties, special educational needs and day care for older people are most likely to be affected. Also, child protection services could be at risk as three police authorities are also expected to be capped.
