    The rising number of children being taken into care and fostering has left Nottinghamshire County Council £7.5m over its child social care budget.

    In the year to April this year, 875 children were looked after by the council – a rise from 797 the year before.

    Before the overspend the council had predicted to spend £127m on services for children and young people.

    Next week councillors are expected to agree to write to the Government calling for it to look again at funding for councils.

    A Conservative motion – which is expected to pass – says that the current funding level "does not reflect" the current needs it is facing.
