This study supposedly started in March. I don't remember getting anything through my door then, and now there are proposals on the table that will significantly worsen the quality of life of everyone on my street. Did anyone else in the affected area get missed out in March?

What proposals are you referring to specifically?

-
Preliminary consultation has already been done and concerns raised which are now de facto on the table to be discussed.

Interesting to compare with the Council's published figures for the borough's main roads in 2008.

Good to see that the Council are looking at the issue. I will give my feedback.
Couple of thoughts
- The sample area is small. Only covers Green lanes and Wightman road for North South.
- Having spent quite a few hours knocking on doors on Beresford road talking to residents about the Living_Wightman Road campaign I can say that a lot of people see the motor vehicle issue as "Green lanes or Wightman" whereas the borough is larger than just these 2 roads and I would welcome a more integrated approach from the council looking at motor traffic across the Borough.
- I am glad to note "actively promote improved public health outcomes"
- Everyone wants to get from A-B as fast as possible but in 2016 we are now aware of global warming, health implications of fumes and noise, Legal limits on pollution levels, other modes of transport such as cycling are becoming more popular and people are more aware of their rights in terms of being local residents.
- Nowhere is the Underground mentioned (usage at / costs/ Frequency ) etc or the mainline/Overground trains.

The fewer than 1,000 is probably accurate but there's a noticeable difference on a lot of the residential streets east and west of Green Lanes https://batchgeo.com/map/2f4e10d6837dc467e22771242386901a
Most of the Ladder roads average about 10,000/week (ranging from Warham with ~18k to Seymour with ~3k). The roads East, where there is a bit more in the way of filtering and more roads that only lead to residential area, tend to have a lower throughput with streets such as Doncaster Gardens and Colina Mews getting under 1,000 per week (although there are also streets like Salisbury Road with upwards of 30k per week.
I'd suggest that "most carry less[sic] than a 1,000 vehicles a day" is a bit disingenuous. I'd say it's more like 60% of residential roads carry fewer than 1,000 vehicles a day. This of course depends on your definition of residential.
The figures are here, roughly arrayed West to East https://1drv.ms/x/s!Atnj-YxkG3VkhLZxfRaE97mZ4AMLdQ
