What Do I Do With My 'Spare' Wire?

I'm trying to replace a bathroom ceiling light. From the ceiling are 3 bundles of wires (3 x live, 3 x neutral and 3 x earth). All 3 live wires terminated together on the old fitting, as did all 3 earths. However, 2 of the neutrals terminated together, with the other one terminating on its own. My new fitting only has L, N and E spaces for termination. What do I do with my 'spare' wire?

    If you don't need that spare wire than do some thing like that it does not harm anyone. Wrap it up in a way that it does not  effect the decor. It is the best thing you can do with it if you don't need. And it can be used when you need it.
