Council set for £300k overspend in social services

January 15, 2026

THE social services budget at one South Wales council is forecast to overspend by more than £300,000 by the end of this financial year.

Latest figures from the end of September 2025 show a projected overspend for social services in Merthyr Tydfil of £360,000 by the end of 2025-26.

A report to Healthier Merthyr Tydfil scrutiny committee said this pressure is mainly driven by additional costs associated with increased demand, partially offset by increased grants and other savings.

The figures from September 2025 show a projected budget overspend of £983,000 on looked-after children residential placement services.
