Nicola has been campaigning on behalf of traders on West Bromwich Indoor Market after they have been crippled with rising rents since the end of the Pandemic. Now, they're facing yet another rent increase from Sandwell Council.
The poor state that the market has been allowed to get in thanks to the inaction of Sandwell Council has been recognised by the Government, who are funding a brand new indoor market closer to the High Street. However, it seems that Sandwell are determined to punish traders with these rent increases even before the new market opens.
Nicola has written to the Leader of Sandwell Council asking her to cancel the latest increase, and guarantee that the new market will be open on time. A copy of the letter can be found on her Facebook page.
