Transport	5,199			3,548		(1,651)		(1,435)		Parking Services as a whole generated (£1.251m) net movement due to contract and running cost reductions, improvements in Penalty Charge Notices in final quarter and reduction in contributions to bad debt provision as well as lower than forecast parking, permit & suspensions income due to the impact of the 3rd lockdown. Other movements include (£0.238m) improvement in Traffic Management due to increases in final quarter for Traffic Regulation Orders, Road Works permits and other income. £0.150m worsening in Transport Policy & Strategy due to agency spend covering long term sickness and pending restructure to ensure adequate permanent resource as well as shortfalls in income. There was a £0.188m improvement in Transport Projects & Engineering as well as other smaller improvements. Concessionary Bus Fares improved by £0.091m due to an adjustment in February for under achievements in 2019/20 as part of the fixed deal.

Culture, Tourism & Sport	761			363		(398)		(398)		The movement was mainly within Sport & Leisure (£0.508m) resulting from an increase in the income invoiced for Seafront Properties. This was due to greater certainty in the trading conditions following the anticipated end of lockdown, as well as a  forecast cost assumed for suppliers relief  that was not required following negotiations. Other movements include additional payments agreed with the Royal Pavilion Museum Trust including Term Maintenance charge of £0.029m and the additional pay award in year of £0.035m. A net worsening of £0.094m in Venues due to a mixture of small improvements and additional premises costs.
Property	1,120			1,660		540		540		The movement is largely due to a higher than forecast contribution to bad debt provision due to increases in commercial rent arrears during the year as a result of the various lockdowns closing these businesses to the public. Agreed rent reductions also affected in-year income. Some planned maintenance projects were delayed due to COVID-19 restrictions resulting in carry forwards for projects that were started, paused and restarted thus affecting the completion of the overall annual programme.
