Fiona Harner, 55, who runs a crystals and craft stall five days a week, said: “This is my only income. I pay my mortgage and bills with this.
“I’d have to find another market to go to on that day, and I don’t want to do that.”
A council spokesperson said: “To ensure the best delivery of service and spending of public money, reports show that the operating costs and income from Tuesday and Wednesday trading are at a significant loss to the council.
“To meet the savings as set out in the medium-term financial plan 2024–2027, the council has taken the decision to reduce the market budget, which has subsequently reduced the number of days the market is open (five days to four).”
The authority said the decision would be reviewed annually.
