Bill McCloskey helped to shape the new town of Milton Keynes in the early 1970s, which entitles him to a house within the city. A passionate, political activist Bill has campaigned on social issues all his life and he ran as a Labour party MP. When he was diagnosed with Parkinson’s he successfully fought for a specialist nurse in Milton Keynes, but now in need of increasing support, Bill has moved to Lovat Fields.
