Private Parking Charge

Received a £70 private parking charge notice today from agents acting for the City Of London.
I'm advised that this relates to my unpaid use of a car-park at Burnham Beeches Park, Buckinghamshire.
On contacting the park office today, I was told that the conditions regarding use of this car park been changed during the last lockdown so that they now require payment for weekday use of the car park - previously its was free weekdays. The Park office also told me that new charging regime was implemented at the end of November/early December 2020 and that temporary signage was put up roundabout that time.
Of course I was unable to see the signage as I was observing the lockdown from late November 2020 and hadn't been visiting the park. I only resumed visits at the end of April this year.
Stuck in an E-mail complaint ,PM today, to the parking control agent, District Enforcement Limited (Copied to the Park Office), requesting review/cancellation of the charge, including an explanation that I've previously been declared Extremely Clinically Vulnerable by HMG under the COVID provisions due to two long-standing medical conditions (One of which I'm still receiving hospital attention for), only for a reply to be returned literally minutes later saying that the case had been reviewed and that the parking charge still applied.
Seems extremely unfair and sharp practice to me.

Wrong board ... PM a board guide to move this to the Parking sub-board.
In the meantime take a read of the Newbies FAQ sticky thread in there.
