Is this a good thing? I hope it's a good thing.
My reading of the situation is that he wants to cancel the project, but is putting together a watertight case to do so. There's this, plus the National Audit Office and the Charities Commission all looking at aspects of the project. I'm fairly certain they'll find enough dirt around the procurement process to justify it's cancellation.

Someone who's following this closer than I've been: https://www.london.gov.uk/press-releases/mayoral/review-to-be-conducted-into-garden-bridge-project
Didn't he already say he wouldn't be doing anything because they've already spent so much money (sunk cost fallacy)? Is he calling for more money to be spent despite this?
Is this a good thing? I hope it's a good thing.
The goals (in particular: "To set out any lessons that should be learnt in order to improve the conduct of potential and approved projects in the future") don't leave me that hopeful, however.
