Trampers and hunters are fearing for the loss of access to a forest park following a proposal to close a paper road. The Manawatū District Council is proposing to close a section of a paper road, an unformed legal road, in Pohangina in northern Manawatū, which provides access to the Ruahine Forest Park. The paper road crosses farmland on Opawe Rd and leads to a Ruahine Range crossing to Dannevirke, via the Maharahara Peak Track. WARWICK SMITH/Stuff Pohangina man John Dykman does not want the paper road on Opawe Rd to close. Otherwise, it leaves it open for legal open slather.”If the poled route became a paper road he would be happier.
