    Having stated that, it needs be added, that had such a memorial been proposed decades ago, it might have made sense. However, we do have Poppy Day, and the many memorial services nationwide for our Forces in the two World Wars.

    In 2012, we should be looking towards Prosperity for the future, not looking back at building a millennium mega-memorial for past World Wars that are already commemorated.

    I take it you intend to disqualify all existing war memorials in Britain and replace them with one almighty one in Dover?!

    If such a war memorial were to attract the millions of visitors you propose, then I must assume Western Heights would become one gigantic parking place, where people risk being run over on the narrow road with its many bends.

    What a fantastic disservice to our Heights, and to English Heritage. The spirit of intention in preserving an area is to preserve it, not ruin it. We would have one more pollution-infested area of Dover, where the traffic reigns supreme, and local people would give up going there!

    From peace and quiet on Western Heights, we would have another busy Snargate Street style road system. Add to that the proposed hundreds of houses you want to build there!
