Actually we should think about how best to add LA spending as unique
items... we have the choice of adding these items classified *either* by
COFOG 2 or by region, but not both.

Choices are:

- classified by COFOG 2, in which case LA items are only classified with
region 'England', unlike everything else in the CRA.
- classified by region, in which case the LA items have no COFOG 2
classifications.

I think probably the second, because adding a higher-level
'England' region will probably have all sorts of knock-on effects for the
regional dashboard and for data queries.

Whereas we know what to do with LA items with no COFOG2 classifications - we
just keep the 'Unknown' (or rather 'Local authority') bubbles in the main
dashboard.

Does that make sense?
