How to get rid of Gorse

In France we are responsable for the pavements outside our properties. Having a gravel pathway in front of us, the gorse in the rockery has seeded and rooted in the front. I have tried pulling up the seedlings and weedkilled plus chopped the rest. Unfortunately it is still coming up. Will Weedkiller for bracken work? There are no drains nearby so will not seep into water courses.

    Strong weedkiller should work on the gorse, but bracken, I couldnt get rid of. We just had to hack it out. Its a real pest in our lanes now, it kills everything, there is hardly anything else growing there.

    As its carcinogenic, I thought the council may have got rid, but they havent so far.
