SOLDIER FINDS MACHINE GUN IN ENFIELD LOCK
A former British soldier, who uses a magnet to fish for metal items underwater, has made a startling discovery in Enfield Lock.
Gareth Bryer, who has previously found knuckle dusters, pistols and knives, came across a rare Mac 10 machine gun at Enfield Lock on north London’s Lee Navigation. As he continued to search, he also found an ammunition magazine and a knife.
The discovery was being investigated by the Metropolitan Police, but was found to be too corroded.

DOCKLESS BIKES WILL RETURN TO ENFIELD
Dockless hire bikes will return to Enfield amid growing demand for the service, the council has confirmed.
The borough’s dockless bike hire scheme was launched in February under a trial arrangement with Irish company Urbo, which was scheduled to run for a year. However, Urbo pulled out on July 4, claiming the locations were no longer suited to its business model.
Dockless bikes can be unlocked using a mobile phone app and left at designated locations without the need for docking stations, with users paying a small fee to use the service.

WALTHAMSTOW WETLANDS
Walthamstow Wetlands is open to the public for the first time in 150 years.
The design of the nature reserve is a sensitive mix of restored industrial buildings and practical pathways; an area the size of Hyde Park is coming into its own with dozens of butterfly and dragon fly species flitting among the foliage alongside an astonishing birdlife ranging from herons and peregrine falcons to kingfishers.
This man-made landscape constitutes the largest urban wetlands in Europe but it is defiantly not a park and some routes are closed at different seasons to protect nesting birds.
When: 7 days a week from 9.30am to 5pm.
Where: 2 Forest Rd, London N17 9NH
