It’s a bird… It’s a plane…. It’s Chris Patrick, award-winning local hero!
The long-serving York BID Cleaning Supervisor was recently honoured with a gong at the 2025 Association of Town & City Management (ATCM) Awards ceremony in Bradford, which works to celebrate those who’ve gone above and beyond in making a difference to their local communities. As the recipient of the ATCM ‘Best Ambassador’ award, Chris has consistently displayed dedication, a tireless work ethic, and an unwavering commitment to improving and maintaining community spaces in and around the York area.
The former chef leads a team that works seven days a week, and has been at the forefront of York BID’s cleaning operations for 8 years. From tackling unsightly mess and environmental hazards like human waste and drug paraphernalia to weeding, planting, painting and prepping street furniture for Rejuvenation Days, Chris takes pride in his work, and his hard graft makes a tangible difference in making the city more welcoming for visitors and residents alike. As a key leader in the Rapid Response Cleaning Service, Chris and his team also provide essential support for levy-paying businesses, ensuring that entranceways, footpaths and thoroughfares are safe and clean, each and every morning.
CHRIS PATRICK: “I take enormous pride in caring for this beautiful city. We love York and we want everyone who lives, works or visits here to see it at its best.”
Thanks, Chris! Keep up the good work, and long may it continue…
