What do you intend to do after removing the switch ,are you going to fit a blanking plate in its place ?
 
Yes. That's what I want to do , cheers
It sounds lk you have worked it out for yourself already.
Turn power off, check for dead to make sure you dont get a shock, slacken switch screws & remove switch, insert all 3 brown wires into individual bits of terminal block and tighten screws ensuring nothing can touch live parts, turn power back on.

Put the earth conductors together in an insulated terminal block.
Put the 3 brown ones into 3 seperate insulated terminal blocks,and leave the blues as they are.
I assume the blanking plate will e plastic ?

Apologies, I missed the earthwires, my only (inexcusable) excuse is I didn't xpand the thumbnails.
