I completely take your point about Coldham's Lane, but the petition isn't asking for Mill Rd to be closed to traffic. If you take a look, what it's actually asking for is action to make Mill Road safer after "consulting the public on what is needed."
I may be being naive, but I hope this means what it says. The petition isn't about demanding a particular solution for Mill Rd, but about asking the council
a) not to ignore it
b) to find out what people want before they do anything.
To me, that sounds like a chance for you to say exactly what you've said above, before rather than after they do something they won't want to reverse.
There's room for a comment on the petition form!

Ah, it's clearly moved on since the version I hears, which was to close it to through traffic (other than buses, taxis and bikes) at the bridge. It need something, I agree.
I tend to worry because we are technically in Romsey, but the council tend to forget us altogether except at vote time. It would be like them to 'protect' Romsey by penalising the part that abuts Coldhams Lane.
Much though I love a certain award winning grocer's, I wish they would stop having deliveries at 11 am!

Exactly! Reading the newsletter that goes with this link, I get the impression this is a response to the "stick bollards on the Mill Road bridge" proposal that took everyone by surprise. Probably more of the usual LibDem and Labour sniping at each others' ideas, but a bit of local consultation can't be bad.
