Angry stallholders in Market Drayton could boycott both the indoor and outdoor market following a 20 per cent rent hike.
LSD Promotions Ltd, which manages the market for Shropshire Council, said the increase is to cope with rising costs.
But traders feel they are being forced out. They say they are having to pay more for less after Shropshire Council removed the heating system from the indoor market last year.
