Well get someone else to sign if the original person cannot. They cannot refuse passports to people just because those people don't know someone from a set group of people for X years.
I would email them, they are very helpful.

Hi
Like Mummy in the Foothills stated, you do need the counter signatory if you are not clearly recognizable from your old passport picture to your latest one. If you can tell that the two photos are the same person, then you don't need the counter signatory. However, if you look nothing like the old passport photo, you need the counter signatory.
As far as I know they are very strict about the passport holder signing in the box, but not sure about the counter signatory, as their signature is not needed for the actual passport.
