Credit cards keep or ditch?

Hi I have been slowly rebuilding my credit score.

At present I have
1) Mortgage.. All good
2) Car loan... All good
3) 3 Credit cards

Aqua Card I am using as a fuel card and paying off in full each month!
Vanquis.. Occasional use but current balance is Zero!

Nationwide card rarely use it!

Am I better off ditching one of the cards to help improve my score further?

    Ditching a card is unlikely to have much effect either way. Just keep using your credit card regularly, paying off in full each month. Never miss a payment on any of your other loans.

    Lenders will see that you can use credit responsibly and your chances of being accepted for the best credit card offers will increase
