Say right, what if you were thinking of moving to a town you didn't know that well

and you don't know which areas are nice places to live and which areas are populated by Buckfast-powered knifehoodies, does anyone know of any website that can help.

I've looked at that UpMyStreet which is f**king terrible, and another one which aggregates police reports of anti-social behaviour, but while it's vaguely interesting, it isn't really useful (data isn't geographically specific enough).

Anyone got any ideas?
