When they start stumping up the cash for maintenance, then it can be used by anyone. 95% of the people wanting to use the paper road wouldn't cause an issue, but it's the 5% of entitled wankers that think that because it's a paper road they can go up there and do whatever the fuck they want and cause absolute havoc that ruin it for everyone else.

I completely understand your point and angst as we have been in that situation on a different property ourselves, however the unformed legal road ( there is no such thing as a paper road ) is not yours no matter how much work you have done to develop it. It belongs to the crown and is under the administration of the local council on the crowns behalf.
