Locals within 5 miles of Hampton Court should be allow to enjoy the gardens there for free or a very reduced rate. Under new rules we would now have to pay for a full Palace ticket. They are an important resource for families to enjoy and appreciate the area we live in. We also have to endure some bad traffic and noise when The Palace runs fee paying events such as the Flower Show and Summer Festivals.

Come on Hampton Court Palace - be a good neighbour! Let us see the gardens for free/locals rate and then we might even be more willing to support you in the future.
