UK Labour is blaming Welsh Labour for the £500m Welsh council budget black hole.
'The UK government said that funding councils in Wales is the responsibility of the Welsh government
Welsh councils are facing "unsustainable" budget pressures over the next few years according to the body which represents them.
The Welsh Local Government Association (WLGA) said funding shortfalls could "significantly impact" councils’ ability to deliver essential services.
The BBC has identified a budget shortfall of at least £540m across Wales by 2026-27.
The Welsh government said it meets local authorities "regularly" to discuss the "very real challenges they face" ahead of its draft budget in December.
