£0.5m of the increase in the net overspend is the forecast impact of the latest lockdown on both on and off street parking income. The forecast assumes that the substantial reduction in seen in early January continues for the rest of 2020/21. This is after the reclaim of Sales, Fees and Charge grant. The balance is a range of smaller net changes in the outturn forecasts for the rest of Highways and Transport. |

The increased forecast outturn of £0.1m is the net result of £0.2m substantially increased operational agency staff costs driven by the latest lockdown (higher levels of sickness and shielding) offset by greater efficiencies (reduced costs) in Fleet and Maintenance (£0.1m). |

Partly due to income to be received (£739k) by Brighton Centre for use as a Vaccination Centre from December to March. There has also been further income received within Venues and Museums for the furlough scheme (£132k) which was not previously included in the forecast. The second lockdown has also caused further reductions in premises costs and casual staff expenditure. The Covid-19 movement is due to a more prudent assumption being made for the Sales, Fees and Charges grant claim. |

Reflects the HNC directorate’s share of the NSAP Rough Sleeper Grant and revised costings for compliance with the grant (£3.239m).
