[R] Cannot create a visible Choropleth Legend - GISTools

I have combined two layers to create a shapefile which I am colouring using
the Choropleth function in GISTools. The problem I am having is that
despite having no other problems with my code including with the actual
mapping of the choropleth itself, nothing I can do, using choro.legend,
actually appears. I have checked I am plotting in the right pace using
locator().

My code is below. I have also attached my data and link to shapefile and
attached my data.
Many thanks in advance.
