In a move to increase comfort, Primark is removing neck labels from its core kids' clothing and nightwear.
This change means that t-shirts, sweatshirts, hoodies, and pyjamas will now feature printed labels instead.
Additionally, the retailer is introducing seamless sock options.
With the back-to-school season approaching, more than 50% of Primark's kids' clothing will now be neck label-free, including nearly 70% of its pyjamas.

The brand has stated its ambition is to continue increasing this number in the future, ensuring more comfortable options for all children.

Abandoned pier to be transformed in £20million renovation – as struggling seaside town to become trendy new hotspot
Plus, the traditional English seaside town with a huge £1.8million pier transformation PIER IN Abandoned pier to be transformed in £20million renovation – as struggling seaside town to become trendy new hotspot A STRUGGLING seaside town is set to get a grand £20million facelift including works on its historic derelict pier. Birnbeck Pier has been closed to the public since 1994, but is set to be reopened in the future. Advertisement 4 The derelict Birnbeck Pier is expect to undergo major works as part of a £20million project Credit: Getty 4 The pier is the only one in the UK that connects the mainland to an island Credit: Getty The pier is the only one in the UK that links the mainland to an island. Currently, repairs are being carried out on the island sea wall and the 1888 boathouse and the clock tower pavilion. Work on the landside buildings - such as the Pier Master's Cottage, old shell shop and South Toll House - all began in July and are expected to be completed in spring 2026. The ultimate goal of the project is to reopen the pier and island to the public, which would make it a unique destination in Weston-super-Mare. Advertisement Right by the pier, there are also a number of derelict buildings such as a Grade II Listed Toll House and its extension, known locally as the 'shell shop', that will be restored and reopened. The toll house sits at the southern side of the entrance to the pier and once works are completed, will reopen as an information point that will host exhibitions. The plans to reopen the pier are part of a £20million project to regenerate the town over a decade. The town council's Tourism and Information Services Manager, Warren Parker-Mills, told local media: "I used to spend a lot of time in London and actually, I can almost envisage Weston further down the line to have little pockets of Shoreditch or little pockets of Islington." Advertisement Other parts of the project include a new waterpark set for this summer. The Old Town Quarry could be turned into an event space too with the potential to host an opera there or ballet, according to Warren. Europe's Biggest Pleasure Pier is in the UK According to 19th century Grove Park - that currently features gardens, woodland walks, rock gardens, ponds and a children's play area - will also be revamped. Plans for the park include redesigning the main entrance with new seating and adding new toilets. Advertisement The Tropicana event space will be transformed too - becoming a venue with a capacity for 8,000 people, including better food and drink spots. The planning permission for Tropicana was approved in May and also reveals that there will be indoor and outdoor entertainment spaces. The venue is then expected to open some point next year. Since 1937, the venue has attracted many notable events and celebrities. Advertisement For example, back in 2015, Tropicana was home to Banksy's 'Dismaland' bemusement park, which filled the derelict seaside swimming resort into a dingy Disneyland-like theme park. Also as part of the project, Marine lake will also get improved food and drink choices and the introduction of outdoor swimming. 4 There is still plenty to do in Weston-super-Mare in the meantime, including a bustling town centre Credit: Getty Work on the lake is expected to be completed by the end of the year. Advertisement Weston-super-Mare still has its Grand Pier which remains open to the public. It costs £2 per person to go onto the pier and there are a number of rides and attractions including the House of Horrors, Freefall and Go Karts. There are number of events on the pier too, including Sunset Sessions and themed party nights. And as for Weston-super-Mare beach, it is long and sandy, and is loved by visitors for its traditional seaside feel. Advertisement The town centre then features all you would need too, including cafes, restaurants and shops. There are even 'rage rooms' where visitors can 'smash' things in a "controlled and safe environment". Traditional English seaside town reveals huge £1.8million pier transformation THE historic Britannia Pier in Great Yarmouth is undergoing a major makeover, thanks to new funding. Opened in 1901, the pier has been a fixture along the Golden Mile seafront. Its former look, with orange lettering and large show advertisements, has been replaced with a sleek, white facade with grey details. This transformation came after Triangle Amusements bought the pier in 2022 and received £1.8 million in funding. The first phase of work included a new amusement arcade and a redesigned front. The pier remains open for business during the summer, hosting comedy acts and tribute bands. A second phase of work, focusing on food stalls and cabins, is scheduled for October 2025. In addition to the pier's changes, Great Yarmouth offers other attractions for a classic British beach break, including Joyland amusement park and the quiet Gorleston-on-Sea beach. The UK's second longest pier is set to finally reopen with a £600billion cash injection boosting the Victorian seaside town's economy. Plus, the English riverfront town with one of the world's oldest piers and attraction based on the real-life Pocahontas. Advertisement

With the hopes of attracting an estimated 450,000-plus visitors per year, the new project includes a gondola lift spanning the River Tawe to Kilvey Hill. As well as this, upon arrival at Kilvey Hill, thrill-seekers can enjoy a sky swing, zipline and luge tracks. Visitors can also expect a hilltop restaurant, mountain biking trails, picnic spots, walking paths, a children's play area, and an array of new green spaces. Advertisement The new venture also has the financial backing of the Welsh Government and Swansea Council, who will contribute an approximate total of £12million. Headed by Skyline Enterprises, the tourism company previously revealed that its board had approved a budget of £35million for the project. This will mark the company's first European development. Council approves land sale and pledges support Swansea Council's cabinet approved the land sale and pledged its financial support in a private meeting last month. Advertisement A council spokesperson confirmed: "Everything that's needed for the scheme is now in place, apart from one area of land that we're in continuing negotiations with Natural Resources Wales about. "The council's financial commitment to support the scheme remains unchanged, subject to the conclusion of financial negotiations. Our investment is expected to be repaid in full as part of an agreement with Skyline." Inside multi-million pound upgrade for popular Scots tourist attraction New Zealand-based Skyline Enterprises has revealed that work is already underway as it plans to start relocating reptiles. This relocation work was approved as part of the planning application. Advertisement A Skyline Enterprises spokesperson said: "The reptile relocation work is being managed by a team of qualified ecologists who review areas of work before any activity starts each day, ensuring work follows all regulations. "A strict protocol is to be followed if an issue is found to ensure the best possible outcome. "This work has been approved as part of the planning conditions, and no licence is required." Not everyone is in favour of the project Plans for this new project were first revealed in 2017, with public consultation events taking place in 2023. Advertisement The application was approved in March this year by the council's planning committee, however, so far, has been met with around 560 letters of objection. Objectors have raised concerns over increased traffic, the visual impact of the project, a potential impact on private water supplies, and fears over what would happen if the scheme didn't deliver on its expectations. However, the committee report said the cumulative benefits of the proposal would outweigh "significant harm" arising from landscape and visual impacts. Planning agent John Hurley explained that beyond the development attracting a substantial number of visitors, it will also create jobs, and improve access to the hill. Advertisement He also added that the development will result in a net biodiversity gain due to replacement tree planting and woodland management. Speaking in 2023, Wales' deputy minister for arts and sports, Dawn Bowden, said the proposed attraction was a "unique inward investment opportunity" for the Welsh Government and "significant in the further development of Swansea as a vibrant city destination." 7 The site is at Kilvey Hill, Swansea Credit: skylineswansea 7 Initial plans were announced in 2017 Credit: skylineswansea Advertisement

Revenue write to almost 70k Irish pensioners over incorrect tax payments amid fears envelope ‘will cause lot of concern'
Revenue is clamping down on pensioners who have owed tax since 2022 TAX TIME Revenue write to almost 70k Irish pensioners over incorrect tax payments amid fears envelope 'will cause lot of concern' REVENUE commissioners have written to almost 70,000 pensioners over concerns relating to incorrect tax payments. These retirees make up a large portion of the 260,000 individuals who Revenue claims may have been incorrectly taxed for the year 2022. 3 The Revenue commission says this campaign is not aimed explicitly at pensioners Credit: Getty Images - Getty 3 According to Revenue, over 260,000 taxpayers may have been incorrectly taxed for the year 2022 Credit: Getty Images - Getty Despite this action, the Revenue Commission says it has not launched a campaign aimed explicitly at pensioners. The letters outline steps taxpayers should take to file a correct end-of-year statement and income tax return. According to RTE, the correspondence says that the vast majority of people, including pensioners, pay the right amount of tax automatically. However, other income sources, such as "a Department of Social Protection payment or private income, Revenue may need to adjust tax credits to reflect that". Notably, social welfare payments are not taxed before they are paid out; as a result, many recipients owe tax on these payments without knowing it. For example, if a person receives a social welfare payment, such as the State pension, but has another source of income, such as a part-time job or private pension, they may owe tax on that payment. Revenue says pensioners whose sole income comes from the state pension will not be effected. Despite the presence of these letters, Revenue says that "the letters are not a demand, but part of our regular efforts to help people check if they have paid the right amount of tax, or if they are due a refund". And that where there is underpayment taxpayers will not be required to make an immediate payment. Instead, any owed funds "will be collected through a reduction of tax credits in future years". "MORE HUMANE APPROACH" CEO of Irish Rural Link Seamus Boland said these Revenue letters will cause much concern. Referencing the time revenue sent letters sent to around 115,000 pensioners in 2012, he said: "I think at that stage there was an apology made for the way people were being treated. "Hopefully this letter is not as brutal as that one was, I'm hoping it's a little softer in terms of people who have overpaid and there will be a category of people who have underpaid as well." He added: "there's lots of pensioners in this category who are going to be affected one way or the other." But that he hopes the commission might adopt a "more humane approach" this time. Revenue has yet to disclose the sums of money involved.
