Tower Hamlets -- Code 21 parking in suspended bay (while stuck
indoors with Covid)

While I was in bed with Covid... ::)
Last week, on Friday 22nd Sept night time, I left my car in an
authorised permit bay outside my home (i.e. I have a permit).
I felt unwell, did a covid test the next morning, and found it
to be positive -- I stayed home, my car remained in the same
spot. (it was an NHS test, now in my records and fully
provable).
A few days later I discovered I was given a ticket, due to the
bay being suspended!
There was a single-bay suspension in place already -- I was
fully aware of, and avoided, this -- but at some point the
restriction sign was swapped and extended to four bays!
I cannot prove when it was changed, but believe this was done
after I parked.
Trying not to be paranoid, but the ticket issuing officer was
the same one who ticketed me a few weeks ago (and subsequently
got me towed)! ::)

Well you've basically put all the information you need in your
opening post. I suggest you draft a representation based on what
you've told us and put it on here for review.

It's no good saying "this can be proven by my medical records"
as the council cannot access those, so you need to provide them.
So, what can you send them?

Oh, it's in my NHS App, email and SMS -- I can send screenshots
of any of those.

So seemingly, they put the sign up before I parked -- meaning it
was dark and I mistakenly expected the previous (removed) sign
that only covered a single bay.
However, I did park there before the suspension started (i.e. I
parked Friday 22nd), but did not expect to be stuck indoors with
Covid as I only tested positive the following day.
So, the contractors (who have been working since before any
suspension) are still there, requested two to three bays - but
four were given and only one is actually being used for their
equipment.
I guess I need to rely on the goodwill of them knowing I had
covid.
