Info about areas - not stats

Are there any active forums out there which give info about specific areas, the dodgy bits, the safe bits, the posh bits etc. I'm not interested in all those sites showing stats as they often misrepresent areas and generalise too much.
I used to read the forums on upmystreet.com which were excellent but nowadays nobody even posts there. Are there any alternatives?
The areas i'm interested in are Iver, Denham, Harefield (near the M25) so if anyone can advise, that woudl be cool too!!

No active forums I know of. Best going to the local corner shop and striking up a conversation or having a chat with someone in the property section of the council. With regard to the shop method I found out about a licence application for nuclear waste had been accepted in an area I was checking out. There was no mention of it on the estate agents particulars!!0
