that he can do
but blockin denying vehicular access on a PAPER ROAD to where it ends is illegal unless dangerous existing conditions are involved.
if it was just for walking accesss itd be called a walking track not a fuckin ROAD

@GSP not quite. It may be called a paper road, but that does not mean it has to have vehicular access even possible. We have one along our boundary and it runs from the nearby road about 600 metres up behind a row of houses to a dead end. No public land at the end (possibly could call it a public cul de sac or cresent?) While it is wide at one end, it narrows down to a pinch point about 3 feet wide not far from the beginning and opens back up. No one looks after it officially so the neighbouring properties allow the local cocky to mow it for hay during summer. It certainly cannot be driven on. And I know of another that while it is designated a paper road, it is unable to be driven on as the grassy bit between the "tyre ruts" has fully mature pine trees in it so has clearly not been driven on for several decades at the very least...
