An MP is calling on the government to help councils 'crying out for help' as the costs of adult social care swallow up their budgets.Shrewsbury & Atcham's Conservative MP, Daniel Kawczynski, has written to the Prime Minister, Rishi Sunak, to outline his concerns over the situation facing Shropshire Council.
He said the authority will be spending more than half of next year's budget on the adult social care – £138m out of £256m. In his letter Mr Kawczynski said plans were needed to prevent councils having to cut other services to meet the costs of care budgets. It comes as Shropshire Council has outlined plans to cut more than £50m from its services in the coming year – including making 300 people redundant.Farm worker beat colleague with baseball bat saying 'I'll do you in and slice your dog's throat'
