The post you are reporting:
Times have changed. A name on a slab makes sense locally, for the soldiers of the area, such as in front of the Town Council hall.
But to give a new dimension to remembering fallen soldiers, there are web pages on Internet, where a brief history is given to the name of a fallen soldier.
As said, I can't see masses of people flocking to Dover to a WW memorial.
People want to see something like displays of weaponry when visiting war museum, pictures of soldiers, pictures of battles.
People won't come to see stone slabs with millions of names written on them.
DDC won't risk this memorial project, it's to risky, it might become a soap-bubble, an added expense that doesn't pay off.
Visitors used to come to Dover as pilgrims to see churches, and travel on to Canterbury.
Visitors come to see the White Cliffs and the Castle, to stroll through Dover.
To see lively displays, enactments, the regatta or whatever, but not stone slabs.
The names of the fallen are written in local churches or in front of Council offices, in town halls...
The cash flows won't happen, people won't come to Dover and spend money because of a WW memorial.
