Thread: Farmer lying about paper road?

I have made a point of having these 'Unformed legal roads' opened up. If there is a letter and request on file to the council then should a land owner make an application to have the road closed, this will be rejected. Only the council can remove padlocks from gates or request a gateway in a fence. The last one I worked on took about 6 or 7 months and a meeting with the Mayor where I asked why the roading staff were so slow in responding. If we do not make sure that they are used by the public then over time more and more will be lost.
