Cuts totalling more than £4m to social services and highways maintenance are planned by Wiltshire County Council next year.
Following a below average funding settlement from central Government, county council departments have been drawing up their budgets for next year.
Social Services faces having to find savings of £3.1million while environmental services, which is responsible for highways, has to cut £1.6million.
Wiltshire spends more on Social Services than the Government thinks is necessary but it is still not enough to meet demand.
Among the proposed cuts for next year are 40 placements for adults in care homes, reducing transport costs for people with learning disabilities and not recruiting people to fill six full-time posts and one part time post in the children and families division.
