Vulnerable old and disabled people will see cuts to vital care services and higher charges, council chiefs say.
The annual budget survey by the Association of Directors of Adult Social Services shows councils expect to spend £21.4bn this year in England.

The warning comes as ministers prepare to unveil plans to reform the system.
A green paper on social care is expected to be published in the coming months.
