In many ways, the fact that weeds are already through means its too late
and the surface is broken up. You will soon start to see what I call the
marbles on the floor effect where you take a step and all the round bits of
the broken tarmac mysteriously transport your feet so that your bum is on
the ground!

There's no lawn to either side of the area. Can anyone suggest something
to kill the weeds off for a very long time ? Sodium Chlorate ?

Yes. Annually, when you see them re-appearing.

Otherwise Roundup, but that's likely to need three applications a
year.

I'd use sodium chlorate, then Roundup the stragglers as I saw them.
