Can someone confirm that this is the correct way to wire this 3 gang switch? all switches are one way.

well it will work, and yes its safe, but looks a bit messy
 
breezer Thanks

Is the circuit messy or the way i will be wiring it messy ?
Is there any easier or better way of doing this?
 
just the way you are wiring it.

whats it for?

although the neutrals are drawn connected you will have t physicaly connect them.

usualy this is done in the ceiling rose, which is why i asked whats it for

The neutrals in the previous switch were all connected in a terminal block & not connected to the switch

So your saying a neutral will need to be connected to the switch ? if this is correct then where do I connect this

Breezer, No you didn't I was just checking to see, if I had interpreted what you had said, correctly.

I do appreciate your advise.
 
Your proposals are fine.

It is becomming quite common to wire lighting circuits like this, with the feed taken to the switch.
 
Wired & working fine, thanks to both breezer & RF Lighting for their comments & advise
