More on the Garden Bridge. It seems Cameron was the ultimate backer:

An opponent of the Garden Bridge said how the amount of money spent on it
so far is the equivalent of TWO Millennium (Wobbly) bridges!


I note that the current argument is about the 15 million costs for
cancellation if we don't go ahead.

Who was this moron who signed contracts for (presumably) construction before
the bridge had the go ahead?


Presumably the architects, engineers, designers, gardening experts,
surveyors, accountants, lawyers, PR agents, etc have charged their
normal fees for the work done so far. Lots of costs are incurred on
prospective projects before they get the final go-ahead.
