No, they have this power. It was one of the arguments the LCC used against attempts to introduce powers of instant removal of bikes in consecutive London Local Authorities/TfL Bills:

Counsel for the LCC argued that these powers were perfectly adequate for dealing with obstructions of the footway if a bike is clearly abandoned, and that draconian powers would not be needed and would be prone to abuse.
