Westlands, more commonly known as "The Westlands", is a suburban area and ward in Newcastle-under-Lyme, Staffordshire.
Religion
There are two places of worship; St Andrew's Church (Anglican) and Masjid At-Taqwa Islamic Centre (Islamic).
The building that is now the Islamic Centre was previously St Peter's Church, a Methodist church. St Andrew's and St Peter's together formed a local ecumenical partnership called The Church in the Westlands. However, St Peter's Church closed in 2021.[1] Community groups were formed in an attempt to prevent the unoccupied building from being sold to property developers.[2] In November 2022 it was eventually sold to a charity with a plan to convert the building into a Mosque and Islamic Centre.[3][4] Masjid At-Taqwa Islamic Centre, the first Mosque in the area, opened to the public in September 2023.[5]
