If they are perennial weeds and the roots have been left in you'd be better to dig out the worst of them. No need for gravel unless you particularly want it. New weeds will seed into the top anyway as they do in any ground (unless its completely concreted or tarmacked over, and even then if it's not swept regularly, leaves and stuff will accumulate and weeds will seed into that). You could perhaps sow some wild flower seeds to create a more diverse mix.
Doncaster, South Yorkshire. Soil type: sandy, well-drained
I would be inclined to wait a bit and see what the weeds actually are and how they may affect your side of the garden. They may just be annual weeds which can be pulled/hoed or a pernicious weeds that may be dealt with a weedkiller to eradicate them.

Loose gravel underfoot can cause problems for the less mobile and wheelchair users ... probably best not used ‘randomly’ in a public thoroughfare 😊 Some appropriate wildflower seeds are a nice idea, but beware, some local councils use annual weed killer treatments in alleyways etc so perhaps better to check with the council to see if this is likely to happen.
