[QUOTE="SPECIAL LOCATION, post: 551703, member: 250"] As has been said there are no electrical dangers by having multiple circuits supplying the same room, in fact it can have advantages such that during a fault you still have some working accessories rather than losing all power to a room! And, as an additional point often assumed incorrectly, sockets do NOT need to be connected to ring final circuits... It is perfectly acceptable to use radial circuits to supply sockets, providing appropriate cable sizes and protective devices are used... As a general rule-of-thumb, it is only normally rooms such as kitchens and/or utility's where more higher power appliances are often connected that ring final circuits tend to be needed in preference over radials..
